There was a great interview with him on the Australian show <i>At the Movies</i>:<br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><br />DANNY BOYLE: .......And space is like - I mean, I've seen every space movie, you know, and I love them, but to think about doing one is terrifying, you know. I think, "How do they do it?", and you have to go back and watch them all and see how they're done, you know. So ...<br /><br />MARGARET: What's so difficult about it?<br /><br />DANNY BOYLE: Everything! And, if anybody ever tells you anything else, they're lying. It's like zero G, like how do people float in space, in space movies, all of that. It takes an eternity. It's like three times as worse as filming on water. It's like everything has to be invented. <br /><br />When you are in space, you can't just suddenly have something appear, you know. It has to be all sealed inside the ship. So you have to make all the decisions beforehand. And there's nowhere to turn to. There's nowhere to cut to. <br /><br />You're suddenly at a scene in a park or suddenly - you know, you're just in this ship, and you can't increase the number of characters. You can't suddenly think, "Why don't we have somebody at" - you know, it's like that's it, you know, because they are 56 million miles from Earth when we join them and, you know - so it's pretty, you know - it's there and you've got to have made the right decisions because you've got to live with them, you know.<br /><br />
