Not a giant alien come to eat the planet but this time it’s just the sun giving out on us. Danny Boyle, who also directed “Trainspotting”, “28 Days Later” and one of my favorite not-widely-seen films, “A Life Less Ordinary”, has a new film coming out called “Sunshine”.

Boyle seems to have a thing for quasi-SF films and thankfully he’s good at it. He’s also talked about coming back to direct a second sequel to “28 Days Later”, probably to be called “28 Months Later”, although “28 Weeks Later” may not have performed well enough to convince the studio to give the franchise a third go-around.

The sun is dying, and after the failure of the first mission, a second team is sent to it to try to reignite its fires. Chris Evans gets to be in both of the big death-from-space films this year, playing Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four film and one of the team in “Sunshine”, along with Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh and Rose Byrne.

“Sunshine” debuted in most of the world months ago, but it won’t open in the US until July 20th. Ain’t It Cool News has the poster for the film at the link below.
