Because Apple is releasing the film.

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.
