(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Danny Boyle fears that the danger of becoming a successful and popular director is that it can spell the end of producing excellent films.

The 54-year-old British filmmaker, responsible for producing Train Spotting and Slumdog Millionaire, has just released his latest movie, 127 Hours, based on a real-life story about a climbing accident suffered by American mountaineer Aron Ralston.

However the Academy Award-winner believes that producing a succession of good films and having famous actors desperate to work with you can often impact negatively on a directors creativity.

As soon as you think you can do whatever you want and you have whatever great professional in the world waiting to work with you, then you are sunk, he told the British newspaper Observer. Or, at least, James Cameron might not be, but I am."

Danny believes that when faced with such power, directors can often get carried away with their success and lose their spark and originality.

It is the reason that he always tries to work on widely varying and diverse projects, so the director feels challenged or even worried about the prospect of making his new film work and come to life.

"Always changing genres, making very different films is a good idea, he revealed. It's a way of making yourself feel vulnerable again, getting back to that innocence. As is working within a circumspect budget. (C) Cover Media
