SUPERSTAR director Danny Boyle has vowed to bring his awards home again if his new film wins any top prizes next year.

The Radcliffe-born director told The Bolton News he would love to repeat his Slumdog Millionaire homecoming celebration if his new film, 127 Hours, enjoys anything like the same success.

When asked about the possibility, he said: “Of course. Any time. I’m sure we’ll end up doing something like that if it happens again.

“Don’t bet any money on it though.”

Boyle brought his BAFTAs, Golden Globes and Oscars to St Mary’s Catholic Social Club in Pine Street, Radcliffe, after Slumdog Millionaire cleaned up at the year’s major awards ceremonies.

Now, his new film, 127 Hours, is nominated for three Golden Globes, and Oscar nominations are due out next month.

The film tells the true story of Aron Ralston, a climber who became trapped under a boulder in a remote canyon in Utah and had to cut off his own arm in order to escape.

But Boyle insisted he did not make films with awards in mind.

He said: “You can’t do them for that reason.

“You spend the time working on the stories that you want to make. The awards thing is extra.”

The director also paid tribute to the support he has received from his hometown since he has achieved global success.

He said: “I’ll tell you what’s lovely about all that from St Mary’s — you realise how much pride people feel.

“People that you don’t know feel it as well, and it’s really lovely.

“You kind of forget that to a degree when you’re thinking about it day to day.”

Boyle also confirmed he would consider becoming involved in sequels to some of his best-loved works, including a proposed 28 Months Later and Trainspotting 2.

A preview screening of 127 Hours will be shown at the new Vue cinema in Bury on January 4, which will be free and open to anyone who signs up.

Cinema bosses say the large screen, almost the size of four double decker buses, will enhance 127 Hours’ “gruesome” scenes, which have reportedly made some people faint during preview screenings.
