I tend to score with songs from Western pop music.

But interestingly Star City's technology is all 1970s - still. In fact, it's alarming because you think, You're not going to send someone up into space in something that old, are you? But it works and it always has worked and it doesn't fail and it's incredibly reliable.

You use elements of noir, but you don't want it to be too noir-ish. You don't want it to be advertised as though you're asking people to go and watch an updated noir. I don't think they'll go do that. They want to see a modern story.

Come a crisis, we want other people.

I like action movies, even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies, which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.
Danny Boyle
Image
Movies are about time. You can take that momentum and manipulate time as well, or you can deliberately slow it down, stop it, and start it again. There is no other art form that does that type of manipulation in that way.
Danny Boyle
Image
I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.
Danny Boyle
Image
My dad was a labourer and my mum had exactly the same job as Noel Gallagher's mum - she was a dinner lady at our local school. Everyone comes over from Ireland and they get the same jobs.
Danny Boyle
Image
I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
Danny Boyle

I've always wanted to do a space movie.

If you approach India in the right way, you have so much to learn there about people, and there's so many people. It's such an extraordinary setup, and it's so bewildering how it manages to get through somehow, you can only wonder at it.
Danny Boyle

Even though one of them is about an Edinburgh junkie and ones a little boy of eight in Manchester, you want them to always portray their world in such a vivid way that the audience can disappear inside the story.
Danny Boyle
Image
The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.

I love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that.
