Based on the true story…
It’s questionable if you’d consider the following a “horror” film per se, but it’s director Danny Boyle and it’s based upon the truly horrific real-life story of mountaineer Aron Ralston, plus we did cover the announcement previously.
James Franco will star in Danny Boyle’s 127 Days for Fox Searchlight according to Variety.
The true-life story centers on Ralston (Franco), who spent five days with his right forearm pinned under a boulder during a climb in May 2003. He used a dull knife to amputate the limb, then scaled a 65-foot sheer wall and hiked out before flagging a family that gave him water and food.
Boyle will direct 127 Hours from a script by Simon Beaufoy with shooting set to begin in March in Utah for a late 2010 release. Christian Colson (Boyle’s producer on Slumbdog Millionaire is producing.
