Very interesting. Seems some combo of stars is "conspiring" in favor of this movie since the beginning. :-)
-- Rawat http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-01-28-simon-beaufoy_N.htm In the script: Beaufoy, Boyle and 'Slumdog Millionaire' by Susan Wloszczyna, USA TODAY TORONTO — There was no way that Danny Boyle, the cutting-edge British director of Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, was going to do a film about a subject as pedestrian as a TV game show. Or so he thought. "The producer sent me the script," he says of Slumdog Millionaire, which has taken in $56 million at the box office, fetched 10 Oscar nominations and is the current favorite for best picture. "My agent or someone told me it was about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." But before Boyle could toss it aside, he caught the name of the screenwriter: Simon Beaufoy, whose first Oscar bid was for The Full Monty, the surprise international hit from 1997. "Simon's terrific, so I genuinely thought I should read it and speak to him about it, imagining that I would say no," Boyle says. Not quite. "I was 20 pages in, and that was it. You just know when you are going to do something." -- more on the site. ------------------------------------ Are you searching for a reason, to be kind? <b> Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
