"With the British Isles quarantined from the rest of the world, the story follows a 12-year-old boy (Alfie Williams) who leaves behind the relative safety of his island community to search the infected-strewn mainland for a doctor to treat his sick mother (Jodie Comer). Now that digital cameras are the dominant capture device of cinema, Boyle and Dod Mantle have again challenged the status quo by foregoing high end offerings in favor of the iPhone 15 Pro."
"Well, unlike a lot of people, I still have a DVD of it, so I see it occasionally but definitely didn't revisit it for prep. It's so deep in my DNA, that film. It was like my christening into a kind of commercial but indie English cinema. I'd certainly made more "indie" films than 28 Days Later before in Scandinavia, mostly with Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg."
28 Days Later (2002) reshaped zombie cinema with sprinting infected and early theatrical digital cinematography. The sequel, 28 Years Later, follows a 12-year-old who leaves an island refuge to seek a doctor on an infected mainland for his ill mother. Danny Boyle and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle returned and chose the iPhone 15 Pro as a deliberate, low-end capture device despite modern high-end digital dominance. Dod Mantle described modding the iPhone 15 and conducting tests, including experiments on an old MiniDV tape. Dod Mantle retained a DVD of the original film and recalled his earlier indie work in Scandinavia.
