“I’m always interested in embracing new technology in film making and the main reason I really wanted to get involved with ‘The Commuter’ was because it was being shot just on mobile phones.” - Dev Patel, The Commuter

The Commuter showcased its theatrical premiere last Monday. The latest comedy action film stars the role of Dev Patel, Charles Dance, Ed Westwick and Pamela Anderson. And the amazing news here is that the whole movie was shot using a Nokia N8. Thus, The Commuter is a big testimony of the filming prowess of Nokia’s latest handset. Slumdog Millionaire’s Dev Patel plays the main role in The Commuter. His interest to be involved in the film was piqued by the fact that a mobile phone will shoot the whole movie.

“I’m always interested in embracing new technology in film making and the main reason I really wanted to get involved with ‘The Commuter’ was because it was being shot just on mobile phones.”

“I wanted to encourage the next generation of filmmakers by showing that you don’t need expensive equipment and big budgets to make your own movies. The quality of a camera phone, like the Nokia N8 allows filmmakers to produce amazing HD movies and I hope ‘The Commuter’ shows aspirational filmmakers that you can create a great movie even using a mobile phone.”
