Trance opens in the United States on April 5, 2013.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. What was it like seeing so many fans show up to see your conversation with New York Times columnist David Carr?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s always amazing. It&#8217;s always worth remembering how people love talking about the process [of making a film].<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What do you think about the new culture that is developing around filmmaking and social?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s great. I love seeing how connected everyone is here and how they are coming together using technology to connect and work together. I wish we had more of that in Britain. I see my friends from Britain here connecting and interacting on a level they don&#8217;t in England.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. How has technology changed the way you make films?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen we did 28 Days Later, that was actually the first mainstream film that was ever shot in digital and we&#8217;re very proud of that fact. <\/p>\n<p>We used the Canon 5D for 127 Hours and for Trance, and the cameras are just great.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit sad to see the death of celluloid, but at the same time the whole industry has moved to digital and it&#8217;s a whole new world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. When do you think we&#8217;ll be able to shoot full movies on a cell phone in good quality?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think we&#8217;re very, very close. The power of the computers inside your smartphone is incredible and can do tremendous things. It really just depends on what you&#8217;re shooting.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been a bit surprised that we haven&#8217;t seen more comedies get shot on [more consumer oriented cameras and DSLRs] because they don&#8217;t really need the high production values that an action film might entail. Yet we&#8217;re seeing action films and thrillers already shoot on these types of cameras.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. What do you think about the advent of digital distribution?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m from a totally different generation so I can&#8217;t speak to that or take any ownership of that. I&#8217;m very fortunate because I work with an indie studio \u2014 Fox Searchlight in the U.S. and Path?\u00a9 in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>I can watch from afar and see how things are changing and it&#8217;s fascinating. It&#8217;s got to be a good thing because anything that makes filmmaking less exclusive and more available to everyone is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. What Would You Think of a Trainspotting \/ Slumdog Millionaire mashup?<\/strong><br \/>\nThat would be great! It&#8217;s obvious that people in the future, people are going to take movies and re-edit them and shuffle them themselves, the same way with music. And who knows where that will go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boyle was at SXSW showing off a preview of his next film, Trance a film about an art auctioneer who<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2124,1,1003],"tags":[2004,2125],"class_list":["post-20047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interviews","category-news","category-tv-film","tag-art","tag-interview"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-elementor-block-extra-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-small-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-medium-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Admin","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/53e6cdc30765aade0129f85e5aeb50124b1d3f5bb9a70373be31e4eb328371e0?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":"0","magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"Boyle was at SXSW showing off a preview of his next film, Trance a film about an art auctioneer who","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Interviews","News","TV &amp; Film"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":167,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":3,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg",0,0,false],"medium":["https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg",1,1,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/videos-img-5.jpg",1,1,false]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Admin","author_link":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/?author=1"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/53e6cdc30765aade0129f85e5aeb50124b1d3f5bb9a70373be31e4eb328371e0?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-2124\">Interviews<\/a> <a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-1\">News<\/a> <a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-1003\">TV &amp; Film<\/a>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
