Director for our Movie

When considering who the Director and stars in our movie were going to be we looked at a lot of possible candidates from other similar movies. An obvious choice for a director for this kind of movie would be Guy Richie. However, we thought he would of brought the same old 'London Geezer' feel he has in all the movies of this genre he has made, so we decided to look a bit deeper. 
  We wanted the director to be British so it had an authentic feel and not an American generated stereo-type where every single character talks like a thug and has bad teeth. One of the latest successful British movies made in a similar style was Daniel Barber's 'Harry Brown'. This was a very hard hitting and quiet realistic (if not a little violent) film about a retired man who seeks revenge on a group youths who murdered his friend. 
  However, Barber's style may be a bit too graphic and gritty for what we wanted to produce. Danny Boyle was our next choice. Even though he has made some extremely gorey and dark movies, such as '28 Days Later', he has a lot more experience. We think he would be able to convey the feeling we wanted and hopefully help to produce something with a mood similar to 'Trainspotting'.
