Boyle's '127 Days' To Have Dialogue-Free Hour

Written by bigpicture on

Written by bigpicture on
As we previously reported , Danny Boyle 's follow-up to Slumdog Millionaire will be the story of mountaineer Aron Ralston. You'll remember Ralston pinned himself literally between a rock and hard place - the title of his memoirs - and had no alternative but to amputate his own arm with a dull knife. The Spice of Life says the film is tentatively called 127 Hours , and if you're slow, I'll tell you why: That's how long Ralston was trapped, no food and very little water, no passers-by, no way to survive other than remove the offending appendage (which was dead at that point ...
