In a monumental leap for cinematic technology, Apple has introduced its very first scripted film, “Submerged,” captured entirely in their innovative Apple Immersive Video format.

Director and Plot Overview

Helmed by the acclaimed Academy Award-winning director Edward Berger, “Submerged” transports viewers to the tense atmosphere of a World War II submarine, chronicling the harrowing experiences of its crew as they face an intense attack. This cinematic adventure is exclusively available on the Apple Vision Pro, Apple’s cutting-edge virtual reality headset, which retails for £3,500.

Technology Behind the Film

What sets Apple Immersive Video apart is its combination of stunning ultra-high-resolution 3D visuals and Spatial Audio, immersing viewers right into the heart of the narrative. 'With Submerged, an immersive film from visionary director Edward Berger, we’re thrilled to premiere the next evolution of storytelling in film,' enthused Tor Myhren, Apple’s Vice President of Marketing Communications. 'Vision Pro places you smack in the epicenter of the action—shoulder-to-shoulder with the submarine crew—offering an unparalleled sense of immersion that has never been experienced before.'

Production Details

The film was shot over three weeks across picturesque locations in Prague, Brussels, and Malta, utilizing a meticulously crafted full-scale submarine set weighing 23 tons. Designed with authentic materials like steel, brass, and other metals, this set is modeled after actual World War II vessels, adding to the film's authenticity and immersive quality.
