"Trainspotting" and "The Beach" director Danny Boyle is out promoting his new family comedy "Millions" and spoke to Latino Review about his upcoming projects.
Sunshine Boyle's next project aims to start in July. "It's a sci-fi. It's a kind of space mission movie, a mission to the sun. And they're taking a bomb to reignite a section of the sun that's failing, and the bomb is immense. It's the size of Kansas...It's sci-fi so it's got those kinds of rules about it. It's a mystery. There's a mission that's gone seven years earlier, and it's failed. And no one really knows what happened to the crew. And at the end, they get to meet the source of all life in the universe."
Porno: Trainspotting 2 Boyle wants to direct "Porno," a quasi-sequel to cult-favorite "Trainspotting," which will pick up where the last film left off twenty years later. "We want to make it about those guys when they look middle-aged... The idea of it is not to try and attract a new audience to 'Trainspotting;' it's to play it to everybody who watched it when it first came out."
28 Weeks Later The sequel to his horror smash "28 Days Later", Boyle is only involved as executive producer. He gives some hints of the plot though - "It's got a good idea. It's a very strong, simple idea again. England has been basically abandoned. There's been no life there for six months. And the Americans arrive to restart it back up again, to reboot it." He does not believe that Naomie Harris will appear.
The Odyssey Frank Boyce, the writer for "Millions," is working on an adaptation of "The Odyssey" and wants him to direct. Boyle says "I'm not really interested in historical things or period films, but he swears he's cracked it. 'I've cracked The Odyssey!' he says."
