Danny Boyle is out doing the promo rounds for "Millions" and spoke a bit more to Twitchfilm about that "Sunshine" project he mentioned the other day:
"We're doing a science fiction film called Sunshine written by Alex Garland who also wrote 28 Days Later. It's the story of a mission to the sun. This crew is transporting a bomb the size of Kansas there to use in hopefully re-igniting part of it that has gone out. But part of the story is that seven years earlier another crew had tried the same thing and failed and that noone knows what happened to them. I can tell you that the crew does get to the source of all life in the universe. It's a real page-turner but it moves from being a thriller into quite a spiritual film. We start shooting on July 11".
Casting wise, "We haven't got any. Actually we're still trying to decide whether we're going ensemble or star. Space movies tend to work better as ensemble pieces but the budget for this is pretty large."
Thanks to 'Christofer'.
