We’re mere hours away from tonight’s 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, and so I want you to consider this next question in full: Are you mentally prepared for the madness? Four years since Beijing blew everyone’s mind, proud Brit director Danny Boyle will try to translate his Slumdog Millionaire-y magic into kicking off the world’s greatest clash of transcendent athletics and pure will and thrill of victory and triumph of defeat and all that stuff. So as to elevate the pizzazz, Boyle and his team have been keeping the details of the ceremony under wraps. But thanks to Deadline, we do now have some idea about what we’ll soon be seeing. If you actually think you might become so excited by whatever goes down tonight that you’ll spill your U.K. cultural-immersion tea-and-scone setup all over yourself at the first sight of something weird, you should probably check out this breakdown.
