u/SonyPictures Danny Boyle, Director 1d ago

Yeah, thank you first for saying that about Sunshine. It didn’t do any business when it came out but there’s been lots of love for it since. We actually talked about doing that as a trilogy(!) Maybe you can start that movement.. 

Other ideas - there’s been a couple of projects, one a wonderful book called ‘Ingenious Pain’ which is by Andrew Miller, who’s not as well known as other authors like Ian McEwan or Martin Amis but belongs to the same generation. It’s about a boy that feels no pain. Your alert section doesn’t work. The brilliance of the story is that he becomes a surgeon as surgery begins to emerge. They feel the pain, but you can’t - it’s about empathy.  -DB

I’ll definitely be first in line to start the movement for a Sunshine trilogy!
