"I believe in film as hypnotism anyway," Boyle explained. "Every film you make, you want it to be hypnotic, to mesmerize." "To make a film like this -- which is basically a series of trances really
-- that deepen and lure you into this illusion where you've no idea whether it's perception or reality or what it is
-- I love that kind of mystery," the director said. "It's a psychological thriller, it's a puzzle of their own making. Those are the kind of ingredients I've always loved in films." Casting a movie can be "a bit of a dance," Boyle says, but he particularly liked that there are three compelling characters in "Trance" and the audience can't decide until the end of the film who is really the lead. Plus, he says he wanted to play on the audience's expectations about the cast, with McAvoy as the good guy, Cassel the bad guy and Dawson the femme fatale
-- or not. "It's lovely to be able to use, not just three fantastic actors, but for them to parade their kind of stereotype as part of the ammunition of a film and then twist it away from you
-- I love that," Boyle said.
