Danny Boyle and his SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

Danny Boyle is a filmmaker of many different tastes. He has taken us into the world of drugs (TRAINSPOTTING), dropped us in an apocalyptic London filled with zombies (28 DAYS LATER), sent us on a space adventure to save the Earth by regenerating the sun (SUNSHINE) , and my personal favorite, he has given us a parable about what happens when a bag of a money lands in the hands of a boy wanting to use it for all the right reasons (MILLIONS). The amazing part of Boyle's films is that they are all distinctly different, yet all deal with the harsh realities of the human condition. I expect his next fore on the silver screen, the Fox Searchlight released SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, to be any different. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE revolves around a poor Indian teen who becomes a contestant on the Hindi version of "Who Wants to be A Millionaire?" the outcome of which will change his life forever. The film hits theatres this November!
