British director Danny Boyle (28 Days Later) follows up the BAFTA and Academy Award-winning Slumdog Millionaire this November with 127 Hours, a drama based on the true story of Aron Ralston, the American mountaineer who came to attention back in 2003 when he amputated his own arm after becoming trapped by a boulder for five days. The film sees Boyle reunite with Slumdog scribe Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty) and producer Christian Colson (The Descent), with Spider-Man's James Franco in the lead role as Ralston alongside supporting players Lizzy Caplan (Cloverfield), Kate Mara (Brokeback Mountain) and Amber Tamblyn (The Grudge 2).
Check out the first trailer from the film, which has made its way onto the internet this week...
127 Hours is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this September and goes on general release in North America on November 5th, 2010. No word yet on a UK release, although the film is scheduled to close the 2010 London Film Festival in October and you'd have to expect it to hit cinemas in time for awards season consideration.
