Danny Boyle was joined by his co-stars James McAvoy and Vincent Cassell for the world premiere of his new movie "Trance" which also stars Rosario Dawson, who Boyle is reported to have split from in recent weeks.
"Trance" tells the story of an art dealer who gets involved in stealing a priceless piece of work.

It's Boyle's first movie since finishing his job as Artistic Director of the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
