Opening in limited release on April 5th and wide release on April 12th is the new drama thriller entitled Trance from Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting). The film stars an excellent cast that includes James McAvoy (X-Men: First Class), Vincent Cassel (Eastern Promises) and Rosario Dawson (Sin City).

IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had a chance to speak with James McAvoy via satellite from London about his work on Trance. The popular actor discussed his new film, why he wanted to work with director Danny Boyle and what the process is like, the film's strong "old school" caper-type script, and his research into hypnotism, as well as his upcoming sequel X-Men: Days of Future Past, reuniting with his X-Men: First Class cast members, working with the original X-Men series actors, having scenes with Sir Patrick Stewart but not Sir Ian McKellen, just reading the script for the first time the day before, and why fans and new audiences alike will enjoy the upcoming movie.
