Danny Boyle.. What can I say about this guy..
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000965/If you base your opinion of him on his previous works, he's actually pretty consistent. With titles like "Sunshine" "Trainspotting" "28 Days later" and even that long, mildly entertaining movie about a guy trapped under a rock, (despite my dislike of James Franco) he's proven himself as an entertaining director.
This movie has two things I like, #1 Vincent Cassel, #2 Rosario Dawson. I could do without James McAvoy, but I've seen him use actors I dislike with great effect before. I'm interested to see where this movie goes with the visuals, but I'm also a little apprehensive, because some of his work has been a little "dream sequence" heavy.
