Danny Boyle Reteams With Searchlight To Create 127 Hours As Seen on the Web - Thursday November 5, 2009Slumdog Team reunite for brutal endurance taleSource: VarietyIt looks like Danny Boyle will be directing 127 Hours for Fox Searchlight, the production house that grabbed eight Oscars with Slumdog Millionaire. The film is the brutal, savage, and harrowing story of Aron Ralston.
In May 2003 while climbing through the mountains of Utah a boulder pinned Ralston's right forearm against the wall. Over the next five days as Ralston's arm started to rot, he decide that his only way out was to take his dull knife and amputate the limp. He started by breaking his own arm in two places so that he would be able to cut through more easily. After cutting through his own flesh he managed to free himself. With half his arm still wedged in the rock he then climbed a the sheer face of a 65 foot wall. Emerging bloody, dehydrated and famished he luckily ran into a family, who came to the rescue by giving him some food and water and calling in a helicopter.
Boyle has penned a treatment and Simon Beaufoy is in talks to write the screenplay. Christian Colson is set to produce the film which is aiming for a late 2010 release.
