Trance’s Danny Boyle on the Power of Hypnotism and the Dark Side of the Olympics

• Wired.com
 But then again, Danny Boyle didn’t anticipate that taking a breather from making Trance to direct the London Olympics’ opening ceremony would result in, as he puts it, a “fiendishly more complicated” final product. Indeed, Trance — a psychological thriller in which a hypnotherapist (Rosario Dawson) helps an art auctioneer (James McAvoy) recover memories of where he stashed a stolen Goya—promises to confuse viewers in the best possible way when it comes out in April. Here Boyle provides some clarity in advance.

Wired: You actually had a hypnosis consultant on the set of Trance. Did you get hypnotized yourself?
