I'm a big fan of Danny Boyle. He's never made a bad movie. Actually, he's never made a movie that wasn't great. His follow up to Slumdog Millionaire is 127 Hours, the true story of Aron Ralston. If you don't remember Ralston's name, you might remember his story. He's the he mountain climber who had to amputate arm to free himself after being trapped by a boulder while climbing a Utah mountain. I've been wondering how Boyle would make this harrowing tale (Ralston describes it here) into a film that was enjoyable to watch. Maybe, because of his heartwarming tales like Slumdog and Millions, I forget he came to fame with films like Shallow Grave and Trainspotting.
I've been a fan of James Franco since Freaks & Geeks and think that, despite the fact he looks nothing like Aron Ralston, he's the kind of actor who could carry a film like this.
What do you think?
