28 Years Later was partially shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max

1 Share

Danny Boyle’s zombie sequel 28 Years Later was shot using several iPhone 15 Pro Max smartphones, according to a report by Wired. This makes it the biggest movie ever made using iPhones, as the budget was around $75 million.

There are some major caveats worth going over. First of all, the sourcing on the story is anonymous, as the film’s staff was required to sign an NDA. Also, the entire film wasn’t shot using last year’s high-end Apple smartphone. Engadget has confirmed that Boyle and his team used a bunch of different cameras, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max being just one tool.

Finally, it’s not like the director just plopped the smartphone on a tripod and called it a day. Each iPhone looks to have been adapted to integrate with full-frame DSLR lenses. Speaking of, those professional-grade lenses cost a small fortune. The phones were also nestled in protective cages.

Even if the phones weren’t exclusively used to make this movie, it’s still something of a full-circle moment for Boyle and his team. The original 28 Days Later was shot primarily on a prosumer-grade camcorder that cost $4,000 at the time. This camcorder recorded footage to MiniDV tapes.

28 Years Later is the third entry in the franchise and is due to hit theaters in June 2025. The film stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and Cillian Murphy. This will be the first of three new films set in the universe of fast-moving rage zombies. Plot details are non-existent, but all three upcoming movies are being written by Alex Garland. He co-wrote the first one and has since gone on to direct genre fare like Ex Machina, Annihilation and, most recently, Civil War. He also made a truly underrated TV show called Devs.

As for the intersection of smartphones and Hollywood, several films have been shot with iPhones. These include Sean Baker’s Tangerine and Steven Soderbergh’s Unsane.

The Sandman season 2 first major details revealed –as well as a 2025 release window

1 Share

The Sandman season 2 has got a new look, and it's a behind the scenes sneak peek at what's to come. 

In the clip, which can be viewed below, we get a look behind the curtain, as well as the confirmation that the new episodes will arrive in 2025.

The key takeaway from the video is a tease for all The Endless siblings together in a family dinner scene, including the newly added Esmé Creed-Miles as Delirium, Adrian Lester as Destiny, and Barry Sloane as The Prodigal (AKA Destruction). Of course, Tom Sturridge is back as Dream, AKA the titular Sandman, with Kirby as Death, Donna Preston as Despair, and Mason Alexander Park as Desire.

There's also a tease for a banquet, which features multiple deities and more –  including Thor, Loki, and Odin. 

The Sandman, based on the DC graphic novels, premiered on Netflix back in July 2022 and was watched for an impressive 69.5 million hours in its first week – but not before doubling that record in its second to 127.5m. The streaming giant renewed the series for a second season in November 2022. Production began in June 2023 before being forced to halt due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.

The returning cast also includes Patton Oswalt as Matthew the Raven, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne, Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, Ferdinand Kingsley as Hob Gadling, Stephen Fry as Gilbert/Fiddler's Green, Asim Chaudhry as Abel, Sanjeev Bhaskar as Cain, and Vanesu Samunyai as Rose Walker.

Netflix shares first look at the "twisted" Wednesday season 2, as it's confirmed for 2025

1 Share

The first look for Wednesday season 2 is here, as well as some news about its release window.

In the brief behind-the-scenes clip, which can be viewed above, Jenna Ortega is back as everyone's favorite queen of woe, with the rest of the Addams Family in tow. Not much is teased aside from some familiar sets from the first season as well as Tim Burton directing new episodes. "This season is going to be bigger and more twisted than you can ever imagine," Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Morticia Addams, says. 

In the montage that follows we see Morticia heading into Nevermore Academy, Wednesday making some kind of speech, and a gathering in the dark. At the end of the teaser it's confirmed that the new season will release in 2025. We can't wait.

Newcomers to the cast include Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, Billie Piper as Capri, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor. New guest stars include Joanna Lumley as Grandmama, Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Fairburn, Christopher Lloyd, Frances O'Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, and Joonas Suotamo.

The series debuted in November of 2022 and quickly became the second most-watched English-language series on Netflix. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and executive produced by Tim Burton, it focuses on 16-year-old Wednesday Addams and her treacherous adventures at Nevermore Academy.

The show received two Golden Globe nominations including Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy and Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy for Ortega. Wednesday was renewed for a second season back in January 2023.
