Clock Ticks For Boyle

Danny Boyle will direct Tick Tock, an action thriller, for Columbia pictures. It will be Boyle's first feature since the Leonardo DiCaprio starrer The Beach, although he has made two films for the BBC, Vacuuming Nude In Paradise and Strumpet. Tick Tock, written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry, is about the number one suspect for a string of bombings in L.A. Just to complicate matters, the suspect is an amnesiac and finds himself in FBI custody. In true action movie style, he teams up with an FBI agent and the pair have to race against time to disarm the remaining bombs. Boyle, the director of Shallow Grave and Trainspotting, didn't have as much success as expected with The Beach. There's no word yet as to who will star in Tick Tock, which is scheduled to shoot this autumn, but it might be wise to ignore any interest from Leonardo DiCaprio.
