Danny Boyle

Danny Boyle had been offered to direct the sequel of last year’s (08) Quantum of Solace. Danny´s success rate (Slumdog Millionaire winning several Oscars) made him the the only option as it was reported that Danny had always expressed his desire to direct atleast one Bond film. But Danny has reportedly turned  down the offer citing professional directives as the sole reason as nothing else.

Danny Boyle however insisted that the simple linking of his name with the Bond brand made him “flattered” but at the same time the down to earth director also stated that he had no plans as such to direct the next movie. Bond bosses had reportedly approached the uber famous movie maker, Boyle to come up with the next Bond sequel.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “He has been offered the chance to direct the 23rd Bond film by (Bond producer) Barbara (Broccoli). Everyone on the Eon team thinks Danny would be the perfect addition to the Bond family”. Another spokeswoman for Danny Boyle revealed : “While Danny says he always has and always will enjoy the Bond movies he has no plans to direct one. Danny is naturally flattered to be thought of!” Danny Boyle´s Bond film is shelved for now and the rumours have been well snubbed aside. But the real rumours which are doing the rounds are that Danny Boyle is in talk with Sony Pictures planning a musical remake of ´My Fair Lady.´ Dany is keen to get down to business with ´My Fair Lady.´ He has reportedly turned down the teen-assassin project ´Hanna´, so that he could concentrate on the musical whose screenplay has already been prepared by actor-writer Emma Thompson.

Neither Sony Pictures nor Boyle confirmed on the final talks. The film is still ready to be planned but Boyle has reportedly worked and planned on it. ´My Fair Lady´ is in the safe hands as Danny is regarded as a no rules man. His connections could go well beyond the expectations of the Producers and the movie houses.
