Trainspotting director Danny Boyle has dismissed suggestions that he could make a comic book film, saying that he "wouldn't be very good at it" and that it's best left to people with superhero films "in their bloodstream."
Speaking to Empire magazine, he said that when he sees a film he likes he wonders how he might have approached the script.
He said that he considered directing Alien:Resurrection but he decided that his "analogue mind does not work nimbly in that CG world"
Boyle also revealed whey he left his directing role on the upcoming James Bond film. "What John [Hodge] and I were doing, I thought, was really good. It wasn’t finished, but it could have been really good," he said.
"We were working very, very well, but they didn’t want to go down that route with us. So we decided to part company."
The filmmaker added that he "learned quite a lot about himself" from the experience and said he has no ill feeling towards his replacement, Cary Joji Fukunaga.
Boyle's film Yesterday is a film about struggling musician Jack Malick, played by EastEnders actor Himesh Patel, who, after a power outage, discovers that nobody has heard of the Beatles and begins to pass their music off as his own.
The cast includes Lily James as Ellie, Ana de Armas as Roxanne, Kate McKinnon as Mandi, James Corden and Ed Sheeran play themselves.
Yesterday is out on June 28.
