I wonder if it’s because 28 Days Later was shot on a handful of Canon XL-1’s, which was a breakthrough as they were one of the first prosumer cameras that could pull off a film like that.
Kind of a nod and a wink at the heritage of the story to shoot on consumer hardware.
I worked for a woman this morning who had photos of Maggie all over her hallway, and I mentioned it of course. Smith worked with my client in 1970’s in Stratford.
She went on about what a kind and thoughtful person she was to her colleagues and everyone in general. Very genuine, I was glad to hear, even after winning an Oscar.
