Summary
Danny Boyle (28 DAYS LATER, TRAINSPOTTING) once again reinvents the cinematic experience with a heartwarming story of two little boys, faith, miracles... and lots of money. Starting anew after the death of their mother, 9-year-old Anthony is ever practical, while his 7- year-old brother Damian uses imagination, fantasy, and faith to make sense of his confusing world. When a suitcase full of money falls out of the sky at Damian’s feet, it sets the boys on the adventure of a lifetime that leads them to realize that true wealth has nothing to do with money. MILLIONS is helmed by Danny Boyle, the critically acclaimed director of TRAINSPOTTING, SHALLOW GRAVE and the 2003 smash hit 28 DAYS LATER, which is Fox Searchlight’s second highest grossing film of all time. The script was penned by 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE scribe Frank Cottrell Boyce, who was nominated for a BAFTA Award for HILARY AND JACKIE and a British Independent Film Award for THE CLAIM. The film’s cast includes Alex Etel and Lewis McGibbon, both in their feature film debuts; Daisy Donovan (PARTING SHOTS) and veteran film actor James Nesbitt, whose many honors include winning a British Independent Film Award and receiving a BAFTA TV Award nomination for his role in BLOODY SUNDAY and a SAG nomination as part of the outstanding ensemble cast for WAKING NED DEVINE.
