Slumdog Millionaire

Versatile British director Danny Boyle’s new movie, Slumdog Millionaire, is currently generating Oscar buzz with critics hotly tipping it to scoop next year’s Best Film award.

A vibrant modern love story set and shot in India, the film opens in the UK on 9th January 2009 but Movie Talk is inviting its readers to a special preview on 14th December 2008.

Based on Vikas Swarup's best selling novel, Q&A, and adapted for the screen by Full Monty scriptwriter Simon Beaufoy, Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of Jamal Malik (played by Skins star Dev Patel), an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai who is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Arrested on suspicion of cheating, he tells the police the incredible story of his life on the streets, and of the girl he loved and lost. But what is a kid with no interest in money doing on the show? And how is it he knows all the answers?

Jason Best

A film critic for over 25 years, Jason admits the job can occasionally be glamorous – sitting on a film festival jury in Portugal; hanging out with Baz Luhrmann at the Chateau Marmont; chatting with Sigourney Weaver about The Archers – but he mostly spends his time in darkened rooms watching films. He’s also written theatre and opera reviews, two guide books on Rome, and competed in a race for Yachting World, whose great wheeze it was to send a seasick film critic to write about his time on the ocean waves. But Jason is happiest on dry land with a classic screwball comedy or Hitchcock thriller.
