After Slumdog Millionaire scooped last year’s Academy Awards, we were all keen to see what Danny Boyle would do next. Now we have our answer, with the release of the trailer to his new flick 127 Hours.
The movie tells the real life story of Aron Ralston, a mountain climber played by James Franco who must go to extraordinary lengths to survive. You might remember hearing about this guy amputating his own arm when a boulder crushed it. We’re talking about serious stuff.
The story should be compelling enough to sell tickets, so it’s a shame the people behind the preview tried to promote this on Boyle’s back catalog. Every movie will eventually need to stand on its own merits anyway, so why not now?
We’ll get to make up our own minds when 127 Hours hits American theaters on November 5.
