A Preview of Slumdog Millionaire Coming to Theatres November 12, 2008

"Slumdog Millionaire" is the winner of the Cadillac People's Choice award at the Toronto Film Festival this week. The film tells the story of a teenager, from the slums of India who gets a chance to win a million dollars on the show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" Patel (Jamal Malik) is on television not for the million dollar prize, but to win the heart of his friend Latika (Freida Pinto, Fox).

The screenplay for the film is written by Simon Beaufoy from the "Full Monty" and the concept along with directing duties is being helmed by Danny Boyle. Initial responses from the Toronto Film Festival are describing "Slumdog Millionaire" as "...fully engaging (Fox)"

Danny Boyle is the director of such movies as; "Shallow Grave," "Trainspotting," "28 Days Later" and "Sunshine." This director is beginning to really hit his stride with a unique approach to each one of his films, including his latest feature "Slumdog Millionaire". "Slumdog Millionaire" is Danny Boyle's ninth feature film, and his focus on small stories is sure to draw movie audiences (Fox).

According to Danny Boyle, "I learned that what I'm better at is making stuff lower down the radar. Actually, ideally (I'm) not on the radar at all." This quote is taken during the pre-production of "Sunshine," and shows his true passion for filmmaking (Fox).

"Slumdog Millionaire" is rated 14A and will hit theatres November 12, 2008 with a limited release. For those lucky enough to be hosting a screening of this film prepare for a comedic thrill-ride through downtown Mumbai, India.
