Opening ceremony a warm-up act for Games: Danny Boyle

Danny Boyle says London Olympics opening spectacle was a "warm-up" act for the Games.

London: Filmmaker Danny Boyle, the mastermind behind the grand opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, says the spectacle was a "warm-up" act for the Games.

The Oscar-winning film director was responsible for the incredible transformation of the stadium in Stratford Friday night. "Tonight`s a warm-up act for the Games. That`s one of the things you have to keep remembering. You big it up for different reasons, and you hear it bigged up or slammed or whatever it is and you`ve got to keep remembering we`re the warm-up act," contactmusic.com quoted Boyle as saying. The ceremony lasted nearly four hours and covered many aspects of the life, history and culture of the British Isles. IANS
