Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later Reportedly Shot on iPhone 15

Principal photography on Danny Boyle’s long awaited 28 Years Later, the sequel to 28 Weeks Later, concluded in late August. Thanks to a recently publisher paparazzi shot from Just Jared, it’s been determined that production has been using an advanced iPhone 15 camera rig to shoot this film.

According to WIRED, it was first believed that the production had been using a modular camera system like the Achtel 9×7. However, due to the camera’s protective cage seen on the righthand side of the photo, it was later believed to be an iPhone 15. “Several people” connected to 28 Years Later confirmed that it’s actually an iPhone 15 Pro Max that’s being used in the rig.

Of course, Boyle and cimematographer Anthony Dod Mantle aren’t using a stock iPhone 15 Pro Max as some ‘Shot on iPhone’ stunt. Instead, the camera is seen in a large aluminum cage. It is adorned by a lense attatchment adapter. This includes the ability to use a full-frame DLSR lense on the smartphone.

28 Years Later follows 2002’s 28 Days Later and then the aformentioned 28 Weeks Later from 2007. The film stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes. Cillian Murphy, whos role in 28 Days Later was a breakout hit for the actor, is believed to be returing to the series in this film

Boyle’s 28 Years Later kicks off a brand new trilogy for the franchise. The new trilogy is being penned by Civil War‘s Alex Garland, who has worked with Boyle and Mantle on the previous two films in the series.
