**London, UK** – Principal photography for Danny Boyle’s highly anticipated sequel to “28 Weeks Later,” titled “28 Years Later,” has wrapped in late August. While much of the attention has been on the star-studded cast, including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, a recent paparazzi photo has revealed a surprising detail: the production is using a modified iPhone 15 Pro Max as their primary camera.
Initially, it was believed that the film was being shot using a modular camera system like the Achtel 9×7. However, the image revealed a protective cage on the camera, leading to speculation that it was an iPhone 15. Sources close to the production have confirmed that it is indeed an iPhone 15 Pro Max, albeit with significant modifications.
The camera is housed within a large aluminum cage, adorned with a lens attachment adapter that allows for the use of full-frame DSLR lenses. This suggests that Boyle and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle are not using the iPhone in its stock form, but rather employing it as a sophisticated filmmaking tool.
“28 Years Later” marks the start of a new trilogy for the “28 Days Later” franchise, written by Alex Garland, known for his work on “Civil War” and previous installments of the series. Cillian Murphy, who rose to fame with his role in “28 Days Later,” is also rumored to be returning for this new chapter.
The news of the iPhone’s use in the production has generated significant buzz, highlighting the increasing capabilities of smartphones in professional filmmaking. It remains to be seen how the iPhone will contribute to the visual aesthetic of “28 Years Later,” but the innovative approach from Boyle and his team is certainly noteworthy.
