Danny Boyle has diversified his career through several genre’s and roles. He has produced, written or directed everything from comedies to sci-fi. A few of his movies have garnered Boyle worldwide renown, however from time to time he has returned to his low budget roots. The Beach, released in 2000, depicted a young American traveling through Thailand when he finds a crude map supposedly leading to a hidden beach paradise. While not a bad movie in itself, word of mouth ended any life The Beach may have had within the first two weeks of airing. It was after the failure of The Beach that Boyle again returned to his roots producing two made for TV movies and the short sci-fi comedy Alien Love Triangle. It wouldn't be until the release of 28 Days Later in 2002 that Boyle would make his return to international fame. Boyle followed his horror hit with the comedy Millions in 2004 and then with his debut into the sci-fi genre with sunshine in 2007, neither one of which did very well. In 2008 Boyle again rocked the international film industry when he directed Slumdog Millionaire. A romance drama about a teen from the slums of Mumbai India who does extremely well in the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
