A humble man from humble beginnings, Danny Boyle (b. 1956) became a popular cinema darling when
Slumdog Millionaire won big at the 2009 Academy Awards. Prior to this achievement, this former theater and television director helped the British film industry pull itself out of a decades-long slump. With
Trainspotting, he proved British films could be more than stuffy, period dramas; they could be vivacious and thrilling with dynamic characters and an infectious soundtrack. This collection of interviews traces Boyle’s relatively short fifteen-year film career, from his outstanding low-budget debut
Shallow Grave, to his Hollywood studio films, his brief return to television, and his decade-in-the-making renaissance.
Taken from a variety of sources including academic journals, mainstream newspapers, and independent bloggers,
Danny Boyle: Interviews is one of the first books available on this emerging director. As an interviewee, Boyle displays an engaging honesty and openness. He talks about his films
28 Days Later,
Millions, and others. His success proves that classical storytelling artists still resonate with audiences.
