History Creator / DannyBoyle

* GenreRouletteWheel: He's done dark comedies, horror films, sci-fi, heartwarming dramas, biopics and crime films and done each in a different way.

He also directed the manic opening ceremony for the 2012 Summer UsefulNotes/OlympicGames in UsefulNotes/{{London}}, which famously included a bit in which Film/JamesBond (Creator/DanielCraig) accompanies [[UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen Queen Elizabeth]] herself at the ceremony.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He was set to write and direct the 25th ''Film/JamesBond'' film (which would become ''Film/NoTimeToDie'') but left the project 6 months later in August 2018, due to CreativeDifferences. He said a few months later that the experience had completely soured him on doing any more major blockbusters and he'd be sticking purely with his own work.

Despite having a very broad range of styles, he's known for his use of music in his films and his dynamic cinematography. He also dabbles in magic realism from time to time. He has a few repeat collaborators in Creator/EwanMcGregor (who appeared in his first three films[[note]] They fell out after [=McGregor=] was axed from ''The Beach'' and felt he had been treated unfairly, betrayed and they didn't speak again until they reconciled in 2013 after apologising to each other, resulting in their first film together in 20 years being ''T2: Trainspotting''.[[/note]]) and worked with Creator/CillianMurphy, screenwriter Creator/AlexGarland, and composer John Murphy on both ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'' and ''{{Film/Sunshine}}''.
