Searchlight and Boyle Have ‘127’ Hours To Go

Not sure about you cinephiles out there, but I feel as if Kevin MacDonald’s Touching the Void said everything that had to be said on why ice/rock climbing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But if you’re into dull knifes and further endurance tests, then you might want to seek out Danny Boyle’s next project which comes with the title/amount of time mountaineer Aron Ralston’s right forearm was pinned under a boulder.

127 Hours will begin production shortly for a late 2010 release by Fox Searchlight who is financing the project with Pathe. Simon Beaufoy should take over from the treatment written by Boyle. Those following the project’s development at ThePlaylist know that Ryan Gosling has been mentioned as the possible candidate to play Ralston. We want to see cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle join the pic as well.
