The new movie, set to be released in June 2025, exists in that same world, but 28 years later. It also stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell.

The 2002 film was also shot using innovative technology at the time. It was filmed with a digital camera, the first Hollywood movie to be shot on a Canon XL-1.

Other small movies have been shot on iPhones, including Sean Baker’s Tangerine and Steven Soderbergh’s Unsane, but this is the largest film to do so, with a budget of $75 million.
