The phrase ‘Shot on iPhone’ may not be new for Apple, but it’s about to receive its biggest display yet. The upcoming blockbuster, 28 Years Later, was filmed entirely using an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the initial trailer looks stunning.
The 28 Years Later trailer highlights the possibilities of iPhone filmmaking
28 Years Later serves as the long-awaited sequel to the acclaimed 2002 film 28 Days Later. According to WIRED, the entire movie was shot on an iPhone.
This film is a genuine Hollywood blockbuster, set for a wide theatrical release on June 20, 2025. Directed by Academy Award winner Danny Boyle, it features a talented cast that includes:
- Jodie Comer
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson
- Ralph Fiennes
- and likely Cillian Murphy as well
Indeed, Boyle utilized the iPhone 15 Pro Max (well, multiple units) to capture the film. Not even the latest iPhone 16 Pro was used.
How does it look? You can judge for yourself. Here’s the trailer:
DMN’s Perspective
Using an iPhone for a zombie thriller seems fitting, especially since the desired aesthetic isn’t necessarily high-end.
However, the trailer is remarkably impressive. It doesn’t come across as simply an ‘iPhone movie’; it genuinely resembles a major Hollywood production, period.
