	Andrew Macdonald interview - Andrew Macdonald on 28 Days Later
		28 Days Later film producer Andrew Macdonald has taken some knocks, but he is already looking to build on the anticipated success of his "Ken Loach zombie movie" with a sequel to Trainspotting and an Edinburgh-set period horror, Brian Pendreigh reports.
		Macdonald, Hodge and director Danny Boyle were to become regular collaborators and Shallow Grave was followed by Trainspotting, A Life Less Ordinary, their first film in the US, and The Beach, a $50 million (50m dollars) drama they made in Thailand, with Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, for Twentieth Century Fox.
		Macdonald has been thinking long and hard about where his career was headed and does not rule out another film on the scale of The Beach, but it is unlikely to be in the near future.

	28 DAYS LATER - Preview Online
		Macdonald had always envisaged 28 Days Later as a Danny Boyle film - which meant, among other things, that it was never going to be a straight genre movie.
		In order to make the story - and its vision of a deserted, ravaged city - the centre of the film, Boyle and Macdonald cast mainly unfamiliar actors: Murphy had appeared in Irish film Disco Pigs, while Harris was recently seen on British television as Clara in the adaptation of Zadie Smith’s White Teeth.
		The film was shot mainly in London (it has a very urban feel) in the early autumn of last year, but some of the empty-London scenes were shot slightly earlier - in July - because that was when it was easiest to get deserted city streets in daylight.

		Trainspotting was the second teaming of director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew Macdonald, screenwriter John Hodge and up-and-coming young actor Ewan MacGregor.
		All parties give an interesting and often amusing insight into the making of the movie and on-location anecdotes from geographically incorrect nightclubs to American audiences repulsed by proper fat-filled Scottish breakfasts to Ewan’s old fixation rousing it’s head as he discusses the size of the other actors’ manhoods.

		There are times when it is absolutely necesary; you don't want a scene costing £20,000 where an oil truck is blown up without first giving the producer some kind of reassurance that you have planned the shot meticulously and are not going to waste all that money.
		So shots like that were storyboarded, but the rest of the film was tackled by following the script and then turning up to shoot each scene with a certain naivety.
