I’ve just come from a meeting with Danny Boyle, the relentlessly creative filmmakers responsible for Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, A Life Less Ordinary, The Beach, 28 Days Later, and now what is sure to become a treasured favorite of many… Millions.
He’s just as enthusiastic in person as you would suspect from his adrenalin-rush films. But it’s not just manic energy… it’s an energy born of passion and enthusiasm for his work. Millions is his first “family-friendly” film, and it’s a keeper. Thrilling, imaginative, and the big heart that it wears on its sleeve manages to beat loudly without falling into overly predictable rhythms. It’s emotional without being sappy, moving without being manipulative.
My review, and my interview, will be posted at Christianity Today Movies soon.
Very interesting! Love the initial buildup…tremendous tension created. Will this be in theatres or IMAX or where, do you know?
I’m not sure yet. I believe it’ll be at Landmark theatres in Seattle, because there’s a poster up at the Crest.
That looks – amazing. I watched the trailer with my three-year-old son, and we were both transfixed.
Twice.
