Sunshine

Danny Boyle's Sunshine opens in select cites across Canada today. Been interested in this film from the beginning for many reasons, not the least of which are the genre (sci-fi), story: the last chance to save our dying sun in the year 2057 and Boyle's decision to cast talented actors from a broad range of ethnicities. Michelle Yeoh, Cillian Murphy, Hiroyuki Sanada, Benedict Wong, Cliff Curtis. Very cool casting choices.

Wired has a Q&A with Boyle here, while the official UK site is loaded with all kinds of great info and clips. Not convinced? Go to apple to watch the new extended trailer in HD. Serious chills. Oh, and in case you didn't know, Mr. Boyle is the man behind such films as Shallow Grave, Trainspotting and 28 Days Later.
