Tamblyn gets her 127 Hours

Amber Tamblyn, best known for her role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, is taking on the female lead in the Danny Boyle directed film 127 Hours. Aron Ralston’s story is of course that of a mountaineer who was forced to amputate his own arm in order to escape entrapment from a fallen boulder and then hike miles to safety (The Playlist). James Franco will be taking on the role of the mountaineer in the Boyle and Simon Beaufoy written piece. The production is under Pathe and Cloud Eight Films with Christian Colson producing.

Earlier in January we reported that Paranormal Activity actress Katie Featherston auditioned for the role of the girlfriend to Ralston in the picture, but it must not have been what Boyle was looking for. The film is expected to be released under Fox Searchlight sometime late in 2010.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
