Featherston tries to go 127 Hours

Katie Featherston is best known for being one of two main characters in this past year’s biggest sleeper hit Paranormal Activity. Now she’s taking full advantage of the recent success by auditioning for the role in Danny Boyle’s latest directorial effort in 127 Hours. Thanks to the magical world of the online Twitter universe, here’s what she said (The Film Stage).:

Auditioned this morning for Danny Boyle (and he read the scene with me!) …Awesome.

If cast, she would join up along with James Franco who’s set to play the lead. 127 Hours revolves around a mountain climber becomes trapped under a boulder while canyoneering alone near Moab, Utah and resorts to desperate measures in order to survive. The script is penned by both Boyle and Simon Beaufoy and is being produced by Christian Colson. No word on when the Fox Searchlight Pictures feature is supposed to be set for release, but if Boyle is in the middle of the casting process there’s a high chance that filming can commence by the fall of this year.
