'Sunshine' sees the light of day

Grab a glimpse at some early footage from Danny Boyle's new film.

Jun 27 2006

Early footage from Danny Boyle's new sci-fi flick 'Sunshine' has been posted on the film's official website.

Introduced by the director himself, who talks about what travelling to the sun means to the film's characters, the featurette then offers us a glimpse at Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Rose Byrne and the rest of the ensemble cast in action.

To access the clip, head to the 'Sunshine' site here, and for the film's official synopsis, read below.

The Sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star. But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. Soon the crew are fighting not only for their lives, but their sanity.

'Sunshine' is set to hit UK screens in early 2007, and we'll post an exclusive report from the set of the film nearer the time.

    I've researched this more thoroughly Terry and I may have to agree with you. Although mighty Joe Young has a good heart, he is essentially an unknown quantity. The monkeys in outbreak cause all sorts of trouble and the twelve monkeys in twelve monkeys again are problematic. What was this sunshine film about again? Posted on Jun 29 2006 13:04

    Point taken Lucy, though don't blame me if your friendly neighbourhood orang-utan one day turns round and pumps you full of lead using the 'piece' you entrusted him with. Posted on Jun 29 2006 11:55

    Well maybe your right Terry but I like monkeys. I must concede if we look at evidence such as the primates in plant of the apes (the remake) and king kong then destruction can occur but you look at clyde in any which way but loose and he proves a real ally for eastwood. he can also handle a piece.

    I disagree Lucy. In fact, Ithink it's quite dangerous to allow primates to mess around with spaceships - what if they lose their temper and decide to start firing laser beams at us on earth? Posted on Jun 28 2006 15:28

    Sounds like a cross between event horizon and water-world. Why don't they send a team of trained monkeys first like all good space pioneering missions? Posted on Jun 28 2006 13:57
