Mark Tildesley

Production designer Mark Tildesley has created spaceship interiors and exteriors for director Danny Boyle’s latest film, Sunshine, released on 5 April. Boyle sought advice from scientist Dr Brian Cox and Seymour Powell director Richard Seymour, who has also worked with Virgin Galactic. They adopted a ‘more Nasa than Star Wars’ approach, says Seymour. Boyle briefed Tildesley to make the film’s Icarus II craft an ‘organic, living thing that could break down and need to be fixed’.
