Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
The Big Picture Ironically, it’s often that some of the worst films in an artist's career can also be among their most quintessential. While, clearly, most filmmakers or actors would like to enjoy critical commercial and critical success for nearly all of the projects that they invest their time in, there are very few figures within the film industry that have a completely spotless track record.
Actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Tilda Swinton, Virginie Ledoyen, Robert Carlyle, Guillaume Canet Director Danny Boyle Release Date February 11, 2000 Run Time 119 mins Studio 20th Century Fox ‘The Beach’ Was a Bestselling Novel Although he is now known as the creative mind behind many great science fiction shows and movies, Garland started his career writing thematically rich adventure novels. The Beach, Garland’s first and best novel, was initially released in 1996.
Related The Leonardo DiCaprio & Martin Scorsese Thriller Scarier Than Some Horror Movies Martin Scorsese is lauded for his crime films, but this rare pivot into a thriller is one of his best collaborations with Leonardo DiCaprio. Given how popular The Beach has been among readers, the film adaptation needed a major star in the role of Richard. Ewan McGregor was briefly considered for the role, as he had worked with Boyle on Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, and A Life Less Ordinary.
Although the film underperformed compared to expectations, it did not put an end to Garland’s writing career. In the immediate aftermath, he wrote the critically acclaimed science fiction novels The Tesseract and The Coma. However, Garland finally got the opportunity to join the film industry thanks again to Boyle, as they worked together on the 2002 zombie thriller 28 Days Later.
