“After 28 years,” director Danny Ball says that the shooting on iPhone let him pick up “amazing violence”

In 2001, Danny Boyle was a problem. To make his new horror movie, after the episodes, After 28 daysHe had to pick up shots of Silian Murphy wandering in the deserted streets of London at the time. Stopping the city was not an option to produce a low budget, and neither of them was re -created on the studio group. Instead, the 68 -year -old has made a sudden option: it was filmed with a lightweight Canon digital cameras. Technology, which was developed at the time, made the viewer to record in creative sites like Westminster Bridge and Piccadillaly Circus in less than an hour each. Also given After 28 days Its unique loved appearance that makes the movie stand out today.

Almost three decades, Boyle faced a similar dilemma. Its title also suggests, After 28 years It occurs exactly after 28 years after the outbreak of anger virus. It was attacked by the rest of the world, the UK released to its normal state, even with the survival of pockets of humans and zombies. To bring this vision to life, Boyle again had to rely on lightweight cameras to photograph in sites that are usually able to do so. But this time, the site was wild not available in Northomberia, and the camera was the iPhone.

“Photography with iPhone devices allowed us to move without huge amounts of equipment,” tells Boyle Wire. “It seems that a lot of Northmromia would have appeared 1000 years ago. So we were able to move quickly and lightly to the rural areas that we wanted to keep their lack of human imprint.”

After 28 years It is a complete circle of Pile, in more than one way. The original film turned its director, known at that time for the feelings of dark comedy like TrainspottingIn this type of influence. But in contracts that followed, he resisted a review of this post -analyst, Mostly he sits 2007 supplement After 28 weeks. His return, which was partially ignited by the Covid-19s, and which brought the London London vision to life, takes privilege in some of the amazing directions that put both of them A full new trilogy He was able to tell a beautiful story about life, death, and unbreakable bond between parents and child.

For Luwel, these were all real reasons for reconsidering the world that he created with screenwriter Alex Garland. But there was no wrong time to make this movie – even if the timing is especially in our context the world reality.

“There was no appetite for the horrific stories,” says Boyle. “Whether it’s because we are at the worst time, I do not know. Certainly, the horrors of the world have not diminished since we made the first movie. If there is anything, we have worsened, and they bleed in the movie, whether it is the horrors of war or the horrors of the infection.”

Before releasing the movie, Wire spoke to Boyle about the reason why it has now made the perfect time to take, the features and defects of the iPhone, and why he could not wait 28 years old to release After 28 years.

“Time of the poor man bullet”

Earlier this month, IGN Spread a look behind the scenes After 28 yearsDetecting a huge platform capable of directing 20 iPhone 15 Pro Max cameras (all equipped with special accessories) in its subject. Speaking to me on Zoom, Boyle explains how this smartphone group, which was organized in a semicircle, allows the director to capture complex movement scenes from multiple angles at the same time.

“We were allowed to do what is essentially at the time of the poor man’s bullet,” he says, referring to the pioneering effect before Matrix. But while Matrix Boyle’s goal was the time that was used to imagine his fighting, which challenges physics, and was the seizure of the brutality of his world. “We use it for violence. It was amazing and sometimes photographing it unexpectedly.”
