He didn't exactly say he would in the below clip from Kurt Loder's recent interview, but we sure get the sense that Danny Boyle has the itch. Are we reading too much into this or not? You be the judge. But check out how jazzed he sounds as he talks about directing second unit on "28 Weeks Later." And he does acknowledge that "there is an idea" for a sequel. Come on Danny! Go for it!

Our man, Mr. Loder, spent a lot of quality time with Danny Boyle resulting in a pretty awesome Q&A with the "Sunshine" director. Read the full Boyle interview here or watch the interview in living color here. You'll see Boyle weigh in on the sequel he wants to do for "Trainspotting," why he thinks there's never sex in space movies, and the always scintillating much, much more.

Danny BoyleChoose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. But for god sake's, Ewan McGregor, don't choose that face moisturizer...not if you ever want to film a "Trainspotting" sequel, director Danny Boyle exclaimed during an interview with MTV News' Kurt Loder.

"We won't be able to do it for a while because the guys don't look any different. They haven't aged at all!" Boyle said of the oft-rumored to be right-around-the-corner "Porno," writer Irvine Welsh's follow-up to "Trainspotting." "They give this impression to the public that they're out drinking and smoking, when in fact they are in a spa somewhere in the country!"

Released in 1996, "Trainspotting" centered on a group of heroin addicts ("Rent Boy," "Sick Boy," "Spud" and Begbie), and their adventures in Edinburgh, Scotland. "Porno" reunites the same cast of characters nine years later -- some of whom have kicked their addiction, some of whom are beaten down by life, one of whom is in prison for manslaughter -- when Sick Boy, now a heavy cocaine user, decides to make a porn film financed by Renton (McGregor).

After blasting into outer space for his thriller "Sunshine," director Danny Boyle will next venture into the ghettos of India for the curious true-life tale of a game show contestant. Speaking exclusively to MTV News' Kurt Loder, the "Trainspotting" helmer opened up about this little-known project, entitled "Slum Dog Millionaire."

"It's based on a true story about this kid who goes on the Hindi version of 'Who Wants to be A Millionaire,' which is a very tough show to win, and he wins it," Boyle said of the film's plot. "And [because he's illiterate] they think he's cheated. But actually the film shows how he happens to know the answers to the questions that [they] happen to ask."

But there are better things in life than winning game shows and big bucks, Boyle argued. "The real reason he is on the show is that he has lost contact with the girl he loves," Boyle revealed about his main character's motivations. "All he knows is that she watches this show religiously, so he decides to go on the show and try and get [her] back."

Written by "Full Monty" scribe Simon Beaufoy, Boyle is currently shooting "Slum Dog Millionaire" in Mumbai, India.

Hotly anticipated, Danny Boyle's upcoming sci-fi thriller "Sunshine" stars Chris Evans, Cillian Murphy and Rose Byrne as crewmembers on a nuke-carrying spaceship tasked to use its massive payload to restart the dying sun. Things soon go awry, and since it's from the director of "28 Days Later" and "Trainspotting," naturally that's when the story really starts getting interesting. In the exclusive clip below, an alarm sounds while two of the crew are on a spacewalk to repair damaged tiles.
