 Interviews: Danny Boyle - Christianity Today Movies
Danny Boyle is as enthusiastic in person as his movies are onscreen.
Boyle: I chose Alex because he walked through the door, and I saw him out of the corner of my eye, and I went, "I'll be, that's him." When you do that, you have to be really tough with them because you want to make sure you're not casting them just because they look right.
Boyle: Imagine what it's like if you work in a garage, or you work in a superstore, all week, and then Friday night comes along, and you've spent all week dealing with whatever you're dealing with, and you get one chance to take a girl or to go with your mates for a good laugh.

 Danny Boyle (Trainspotting)
Boyle says he consciously avoided the role of director-as-social-worker, noting that the unbiased view is the more complicated one.
Boyle says he took on "Trainspotting" -- and the chore of turning a cult novel into a more commercial venture with a paltry budget of $2.4 million -- because the book changed his life.
Boyle is aware that the film will be criticized for its lack of just-say-no attitude.

 SALON: Trainspotting   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The director, Danny Boyle, and the screenwriter, John Hodge, are the team that made last year's "Shallow Grave," a picture that just about defined the dead end that affectless hipness and affectless brutality have brought indie cinema to.
Boyle really lets loose here in a couple of expressionist sequences, one where Renton dives headfirst into a filthy toilet to retrieve two opium suppositories only to emerge beneath the ocean's surface where the evacuated drugs gleam like gems on the sea floor.
It does, because Boyle, Hodge and their actors are capturing a milieu and a way of life that's never made it to the screen before; they set the movies on their ear with the excitement and brash confidence that young artists have always assumed to announce their arrival.

Danny Boyle: When you have a successful film, you do get a bag of money, and it's very nice -- if you have a success, you get paid and all of the temptations that come with that.
Boyle: I try to make films that exclude no one; I'm never thinking, "Oh, these people won't like it." You try and take the stories and make them as vivid as possible, though the key is so often money.

 Britmovie - Danny Boyle Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Two years later, Boyle consolidated on his earlier success with another Hodge-Macdonald-McGregor collaboration, Trainspotting (1996), adapted from the novel by Irvine Welsh - about a group of likable, albeit unconscionable, Edinburgh heroin addicts.
Next, Boyle had worldwide hit with the post-modern zombie thriller 28 Days Later (2002), a stylishly shot low-budget film that belies its grainy digital video cinematography.
To some surprise, Boyle followed up his successful zombie flick with the family-friendly Millions (2005), a morality tale seen through the eyes of two pre-teen brothers.

 Danny Boyle
One of Britain's most celebrated breakthrough talents of the '90s, director and producer Danny Boyle made his name with his acclaimed 1996 adaptation of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting.
That same year, Boyle served as executive producer for Twin Town, a surprisingly popular Welsh film that featured much of the rough-edged humor of Boyle's previous work.
Though it was anticipated to be quite a big film for Boyle, The Beach ultimately suffered from not only a severe critical backlash but also incurred the wrath of Garland fans by altering the bleak ending of the novel for a more safe mainstream coda.

Teaching the boys to act for the camera, Boyle said, was a task that required tossing aside much that he knew about working with adult actors.

 SPLICEDwire | "28 Days Later" review (2003) Danny Boyle, Cillian Murphy, Naomi Harris
Written by cult author Alex Garland and directed by Danny Boyle -- who made a studio-diluted adaptation of Garland's "The Beach" in 2000 but is better known for the hip, stylish, drug-fueled cautionary tale "Trainspotting" -- "28 Days Later" is a return to Boyle's subversive roots.
Having escaped a terrifying swarm of fast-moving, sullied, bloody-eyed zombies with the help of two still-human survivors (one of whom will have to be mercilessly axe-murdered when tainted by zombie blood), Jim soon discovers his family is dead and all of England has been infected.
Boyle's brusque, economic, video-witness style and the strongly contrasting, on-edge performances build even more tension between characters than the film does through the largely unseen infected hoards -- which helps bridge the plot's gaps in logic.

 DANNY BOYLE Interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Looking much younger than his 49 years, Boyle is relaxed, enthusiastic, and totally at ease with the press, eager to share stories about a film that is obviously is very close to his heart.
BOYLE: I know it feels like that, and obviously, everybody you meet says that, but it didn’t feel like that [to me].
There might be a surprising number of people in the country, in the end, who are silent people who might just surprise us, because they have to have a referendum on it at some point in the next couple of years, but at the moment it looks unlikely.

This gives Boyle the opportunity first of all to create a capital city vacated so fast that the streets are littered with signs of humanity but no humans.
Boyle has a talent for getting from one eye-catching composition to another fast without lessening their impact as compositions.
Ewan McGregor was Boyle's original badboy protagonist, and when Boyle stopped pushing the edge almost desperately, as he had in Shallow Grave (1994) and Trainspotting (1996), and relaxed with the comic irony of A Life Less Ordinary (1997), their talents threw out new, unexpected shoots.
