Slumdog Millionaire helmer Danny Boyle will next direct 127 Hours for Fox Searchlight. The Brit director will hold the reigns for the flick, which tells the story of mountaineer Aron Ralston.Variety reports:
After his right forearm got pinned for nearly five days under a boulder during a climb in Utah in May, 2003, Ralston used a dull knife 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.
Shooting kicks off next year for a late 2010 release (supposedly for an awards season push).
