Hey Jason.

Not sure telling everyone you used an IPHONE to film 28 Years later was a smart marketing decision. I instantly lost interest

Sounds like they're going full Blair Witch mode. I didn't much care for 28 Days Later anyway.

I love 28 Days and really liked 28 Weeks. 28 Years was something I was highly anticipating

[Lazerus]

I could never get into 28 Days for some reason.

Production wrapped earlier this summer on Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later that intends to launch a brand new trilogy. Boyle and Alex Garland are reteaming for the planned 28 Years trilogy, with Garland writing the first movie and Boyle back in the director’s chair to bring the horror to the screen.

On that note, an article over on WIRED this week reveals that 28 Years Later was at least partially filmed with “a bunch of adapted iPhone 15s,” specifically the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

WIRED details in their insightful report on the production, “…the Hollywood thriller, with its budget of $75 million, [is] the biggest movie to date filmed with smartphones.”

“Principal filming for 28 Years Later wrapped at the end of August, and until now the production has kept under wraps the fact that the movie was shot with smartphones, with the staff being asked to signed NDAs preventing the disclosure of this detail,” the outlet notes.

WIRED also reveals, “In addition to using the iPhone 15 Pro Max as the principal camera, some scenes in 28 Years Later were shot with action cams strapped to farm animals.”

28 Years Later arrives in theaters on June 20, 2025 from Sony.

The horror movie’s cast includes Jack O’Connell (Amy Winehouse: Back To Black), Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), Erin Kellyman (The Green Knight, “Willow”) and Ralph Fiennes (The Menu).

Cillian Murphy is executive producing and reportedly returning to star.

Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) will direct the second installment in the trilogy.

The original movie in 2002 starred Cillian Murphy and was written by Alex Garland and directed by Danny Boyle. In the smash hit horror film, “Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.

soderbergh filmed unsane on an iphone too. give that a watch for possible reference point on how it could look.

i don't know how i feel about this. having cillian murphy return for the third, but not being included in the second at all. it's weird to me. i think i'd prefer them to be self contained stories. but i'll still give it a watch.

[Lazerus]

I'm considering watching Longlegs this weekend.

[zombie]

i like the first two films a lot. i think i prefer the second film overall, but the climax of the first is still the stand out for me.

if you give it some time into october, we could do a group watch? i don't know how many other people haven't seen it yet. maybe it's just you and me. if that's the case, then maybe a group watch won't work, but i thought it was worth a try.

I'm up for the group watch but I'll see if I can convince my gf. She's been looking forward to watching it

We're group watching it, no argument!

Why? The Iphone will still look better than 28 Days old ass cinematography and footage.

[Jason]

Longlegs isn't really a group watch type of movie unless you've seen it already

[zombie]

will watching it with other people ruin the first time experience?
