ENGLISH FILMMAKER Danny Boyle is the artistic director of the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games, and today he revealed his plans to turn the Olympic Stadium into a British countryside on 27 July.
The ceremony is set to cost £27m, and will feature 70 sheep, 12 horses, 10 chickens and three sheep dogs, according to The Telegraph.
The 3.5 hour show will reconstruct classic bits of life in the English countryside, and there will even be fake clouds to provide rain in case the weather is clear.
