gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-03-07 11:00:29

Why Danny Boyle shot ‘28 Years Later’ on iPhones

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2026-03-07 21:22:00

In Brief Director Danny Boyle famously shot his post-apocalyptic classic “28 Days Later” on Canon digital cameras, making it easier for him to capture eerie scenes of an abandoned London, and giving the movie’s fast-moving zombies a terrifying immediacy. To make his decades-later sequel “28 Years Later” (which opened this weekend), Boyle turned to a different piece of consumer tech — the iPhone.
