Corrected entry: The film was apparently filmed entirely using a DV cam because of its small budget ($8 million).

28 Days Later (2002)
Corrected entry: 28 days later is a matter a fact a sequel to a film called J"Primate" about how the infection began with the monkeys. When 28 weeks later is released next year, it will actually be a trilogy, though not many people know about the first movie.
Correction: I can't find any film called Jprimate, or anything relevant called "primate", for that matter. IMDb link or other verification?

28 Days Later (2002)
Corrected entry: "28 Days Later" was actually a bigger box office hit in the United States than England itself, where the story took place.
Correction: Not trivia - almost everything's a bigger hit in the US, due to the vast size difference between the two countries.

Correction: This was actually done to provide a more realistic feel, instead of the smoothness of a real movie camera. Whether budget entered into it, I know not, but if you watch the making of the film, this is what they say.
Was also easier to film the deserted London scenes instead of using large camera equipment.
In fact, they used multiple units of the Canon XL1 mini-dv camcorder. At the time, the XL1 was top of the range, but it is now sadly obsolete. You can now pick one up on Ebay for less than £200.00.
