Production Weekly (these guys), are reporting that James Franco has signed up to star in SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE helmer Danny Boyle’s next film 127 HOURS.
The flick tells the story of mountaineer Aron Ralston, whose right forearm got pinned for nearly five days under a boulder during a climb in Utah in May 2003. He used a dull knife to amputate the limb, then scaled a 65-foot sheer wall and hiked out before running into a family that gave him water and food.
Shooting kicks off in Utah in March.
