Danny Boyle: John Paul Getty’s kidnapping is like Kim K’s Paris robbery

 		Danny Boyle: John Paul Getty’s kidnapping is like Kim K’s Paris robbery

Director Danny Boyle says the story of the 1973 kidnapping of John Paul Getty III mirrors a modern-day celebrity attack.

“It’s the first celebrity story,” Boyle told us Thursday at a lunch for his new FX series about the Getty family, “Trust.”

“Remember the [Kim] Kardashian attack in Paris? It’s an early version of that. Certainly, these incredible celebrity like figures go through this intense, impossible drama.” He mused, “It’s almost like it’s staged for our benefit.”

Donald Sutherland plays the elder Getty, who initially refuses to pay his grandson’s ransom.

Explained Sutherland: “He had 14 grandchildren . . . if you pay the ransom then somebody says, ‘Well that’s good deal. I’m gonna kidnap that one and that one.’ It’s a pragmatic decision, but it’s necessary.”

Boyle has revealed that he’s working on the next James Bond movie, starring Daniel Craig.
