DANNY BOYLE REVEALS NEW MOVIE

One of our all time favourite guest’s on We Love Movies is director Danny Boyle, the Oscar winning filmmaker behind Slumdog Millionaire and the director of such cult hits as Trainspotting and 28 Days Later. For his new movie, ‘127 Hours’, Danny Boyle will tell the true story of mountaineer Aron Ralston.

Before you read on be warned – the film’s premise is not for the squeamish…

Plot: After his right forearm got pinned for nearly five days under a boulder during a climb in Utah in May, 2003, Aron Ralston used a dull penknife to amputate the limb. He 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.

Boyle has written a treatment and Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire scriptwriter) is in-talks to write the script. The goal is to have the film in front of the cameras next year for a late 2010 release.
