Danny Boyle has 127 Hours
Danny Boyle teams up with Fox Searchlight Pictures for his newest project entitled “127 Hours”. The feature is being penned by Simon Beaufoy from a treatment that Boyle himself has written. The story revolves around mountaineer Aron Ralson. Ralston’s right forearm got pinned for nearly five days under a boulder during a climb in Utah in May 2003. He used a dull knife to amputate the limb, then scaled a 65-foot sheer wall and hiked out before running into a family that gave him water and food. He was finally rescued by helicopter (Variety).
The film will also be under Pathe with Christian Colson producing. This will not have been the first time Fox teamed up with Boyle, having it happen in several instances including with the Academy Award winning film “Slumdog Millionaire”. No word yet on who will play Ralston, but filming will begin early next year.
