Mara could be plugging in 127 Hours

Kate Mara, one of the actors in Happythankyoumoreplease, is jumping from the independent circuit to possibly Danny Boyle’s latest feature 127 Hours. If casted, she will be joining up along with James Franco and Amber Tamblyn in the film based on a true story. The story is of a mountain climber trapped under a boulder in Utah and his desperate efforts to escape. Mara and Tamblyn play hikers he meets before his ordeal (THR).

The feature is being produced by Christian Colson with Pathe, Cloud Eight Films and Darlow Smithson Productions on it. You can see Mara in this summer’s Iron Man 2 and in the action/adventure feature Ironclad.
