Filmmaker Danny Boyle has joked that all his movies have the same storyline about a man overcoming the impossible.
The 56-year-old knows that all his projects bear striking resemblances to each other because they feature similar themes about memory and a main character who always overcomes a seemingly impossible task, reported Contactmusic.
"All the films I've made are the same film, I have to admit that. They're all about a character - usually a bloke - who faces insurmountable odds and overcomes them. If you think about it, 'Slumdog Millionaire', the guy in '127 Hours', they're the same film. Don't tell anyone!," he said.
While memories feature heavily in 'Slumdog' and '127 Hours', Boyle insists 'Trance' takes on a slightly different approach.
"The last three films I've done have all been about memories. In 'Slumdog Millionaire', memory was a good fortune to Dev Patel. In '127 Hours', where he cuts his arm off, memories save him. This is more about how memories can wreak havoc and destruction.
