Danny Boyle reveals why 28 Years Later was shot on iPhone, the ‘little 3D moments’ it made possible and why the future of cinema is immersive

  • During a charity screening in East London, Danny Boyle revealed that 28 Years Later was shot on an iPhone, linking it to the original 2002 film and technological innovation.
  • Building on 28 Days Later’s use of domestic video cameras, Boyle chose iPhones for their ubiquity, acceptable resolution, and low environmental impact.
  • Rig experiments show 20 iPhones in an arc create bullet-time effects, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max enabling quick, minimal-crew filming, as Boyle revealed.
  • Audience responses are divided, with Boyle predicting viewers will 'end up inside the screen' as immersive tech sparks debate.
  • Boyle predicts immersive mixed-reality tech may eventually immerse viewers inside screens, risking the loss of traditional communal cinema experiences amid sensory overload concerns.
