However, we had never gone this far, since a Keynote is not the same as a film that is going to be seen in theaters, but it seems that yes, and 28 years later (which is what the movie is called) will be released on the big screen with scenes recorded entirely with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and its use makes sense, let’s see the details.
Film shot with an iPhone 15 Pro Max
Although many may think that this is a marketing strategy, or that Apple paid for it, no, it has nothing to do with it, and it is obvious that an iPhone cannot be compared to a professional film camera worth thousands and thousands of euros, but the reason that led them to use an iPhone is simply convenience, and there are areas and recording sets where it was very difficult to fit a bulky camera in, so using a small phone with such quality could be a more than interesting option.
And although on other occasions it has been used an iPhone to record movie sceneswe cannot compare low-budget films with others like this one by Boyle, which will be brought to the big screen and which has a very high budget compared to others.
28 Years Later is the sequel to “28 Days Later” (2002) and “28 Weeks Later” (2007), which portray the consequences of a zombie-style pandemic in the United Kingdom, so we are not even talking about a “new” release, but the director, as well as the script of the film itself, already have experience in this type of releases.
The truth is that for my part I want to see it, and despite the fact that Not the entire film was shot on the iPhonewe will be able to see shots where it has been used intensively, so I wonder if we will be able to find them, or if we will be shocked when we see the result. The truth is that with the later editing, and the accessories they used along with the iPhone, I think it will be very difficult to discover them, what do you think?
The release date is June 20, 2025so for now we have to wait, and practically when it comes out we will already have the iPhone 17 ready, which makes us think even more that if a movie could be shot with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, what won’t 2 later versions do? Especially when Apple keeps improving this point in each new model. Will they really end up replacing professional cameras? Little by little we are beginning to see more news like this, so now no one has an excuse not to make their own movie.
