Danny Boyle Interview
December 19, 2008
"The Tale of Despereaux"
When Princess Pea is kidnapped, mouse Despereaux (Matthew Broderick) must find a knight's brave heart within his tiny body and rescue his friend. (Universal)
Cameo: Tilda Swinton
Funny or superfluous?: Superfluous
She was a great villain in the first "Narnia" movie, but her return appearance in the inferior sequel only served to remind the audience of the superiority of the first movie. The rule for movie villains is that they have to actually do something villainous when we see them. In her return as the White Witch, Swinton was only around long enough to look menacing and then split. At least she didn't have to sit around through the rest of the movie. That should make us happy for her. (Murray Close / Walt Disney Studios)
Recently named the best film of 2008 by the National Board of Review, Danny Boyle's drama follow the reflections of a poor boy (Dev Patel) from the slums of Mumbai, India, who ends up on the country's version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. (AP)
