The Commuter is a nifty little action-packed film, directed by the McHenry brothers, and starring Dev Patel, Pamela Anderson, Charles Dance and Ed Westwick. Its distinguishing feature, however, is the fact that it was shot entirely with Nokia’s new flagship smartphone, the Nokia N8.
Nokia announced the film one month ago and launched a contest for two lucky fans to appear in the film alongside the famous actors mentioned above.
Interestingly enough, after the film has been completed and released, those fans aren’t mentioned on Nokia’s official blog; if we had to take a guess, we’d peg them as the lady in the elevator and the man with the sunglasses, drinking tea. In any case, if they do appear in the movie, their roles are very small.
The seven-and-a-half minute long movie, however, is quite entertaining and looks amazingly good, considering it was shot entirely with a cellphone. The resolution of the video is 720p; the scenes shot in daylight look fantastic, while the interior shots are a bit grainy, but Nokia has definitely proven that the N8’s 12-megapixel camera is capable of doing great things.
