Danny Boyle is a pretty good filmmaker with an insanely eclectic filmography. The dude went from a wacky drug-out flick in “Trainspotting” to a wacky (but pleasantly cool) romantic drama in “A Life Less Ordinary” to a zombie marathon in “28 Days Later”. His latest is “Sunshine”, a sci-fi thriller about astronauts in the near future sent to “re-ignite” a dying sun or else mankind is doomed. Boyle re-teams with “The Beach” and “28 Days Later” writer Alex Garland (who recently made noise by being paid a cool $1 million to write the now-defunct “Halo” movie). Check out the trailer and some movie stills for the flick. It definitely looks good, but I still have reservations about how the subject matter and constrained locales will translate into an action movie.
The film’s international storyline and cast includes Rose Byrne (”Troy”), Chris Evans (”Fantastic Four”), Cillian Murphy (”28 Days Later”), Michelle Yeoh (”The Touch”), and Hiroyuki Sanada (”The Last Samurai”). It opens in March 16th, 2007.
