QUICK TAKES - June 13, 2009
’
Fresh off his best picture Oscar triumph, “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle has signed a three-year deal with Fox Searchlight, which will co-finance and co-distribute the British filmmaker’s future films.
The director already has identified a possible initial production under the first-look deal, a drama about Aron Ralston, the American mountain climber who amputated part of his arm when it was pinned in a 2003 backcountry hiking accident.
Boyle’s long relationship with the studio includes “28 Days Later,” “Millions” and “Sunshine.”
