{"product_id":"danny-boyle-interviews-9781496857972","title":"Danny Boyle: Interviews","description":"A humble man from humble beginnings, Danny Boyle (b. 1956) became a popular cinema darling when \u003ci\u003eSlumdog Millionaire\u003c\/i\u003e won big at the 2009 Academy Awards. Prior to this achievement, this former theater and television director helped the British film industry pull itself out of a decades-long slump. With \u003ci\u003eTrainspotting\u003c\/i\u003e, he proved British films could be more than stuffy, period dramas; they could be vivacious and thrilling with dynamic characters and an infectious soundtrack. This collection of interviews traces Boyle's relatively short fifteen-year film career, from his outstanding low-budget debut \u003ci\u003eShallow Grave\u003c\/i\u003e, to his Hollywood studio films, his brief return to television, and his decade-in-the-making renaissance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Taken from a variety of sources including academic journals, mainstream newspapers, and independent bloggers, \u003ci\u003eDanny Boyle: Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the first books available on this emerging director. As an interviewee, Boyle displays an engaging honesty and openness. He talks about his films \u003ci\u003e28 Days Later\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMillions\u003c\/i\u003e, and others. His success proves that classical storytelling artists still resonate with audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrent Dunham \u003c\/b\u003eis an independent film scholar.
