Danny Boyle (28 DAYS LATER, TRAINSPOTTING) once again reinvents the cinematic experience witha heart warming 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 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 directory 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 Cottrel Boyce, who was nominated for a BAFTA Award for HILARY AND JACKIE and a British Independent Film Award for THE CLAIM. MILLIONS screened to critical and audience acclaim at the 2004 Toronto and London Film Festivals.
