Danny Boyle Confirms Next Project Is Aron Ralston Survival Tale, Now Called '127 Hours'

... to play the part a few months ago, but apparently the role is wide open at the moment . Perhaps that's because no script exists yet. Boyle apparently wrote a treatment and " Slumdog Millionaire " scribe, Simon Beaufoy is in talks to write he final script. DealMemo notes whoever gets the part has most of the entire film to himself ala Tom Hanks in " Castaway ."

... * Flicks are a tough business which frequently requires great sacrifice. Still, I can’t think of a single creative or suit whose had to saw off a limb to stay alive. However, that’s exactly what mountaineer Aron Ralston had to do and now director Danny Boyle plans to film Ralston’s story, perhaps or perhaps not with actor Ryan Gosling in the lead. Fun, fun, fun. ...

... Variety says the shoot is planned for next year, which clicks with what Boyle has said. (He was more specific, saying March 2010 to shoot.) Fox Searchlight wants to release the film before the end of next year, likely in the hopes that Boyle will deliver another massive Oscar contender. This is certainly tailor made for a best actor nod. Ryan Gosling’s name has been thrown around in connection with the film (great choice) but right now there is evidently no one really connected to it. ...

Boyle's next film 127 Hours

... is the man that is rumoured by Variety to be the next possibility for the role, but I'm not so sure, they really need a strong actor and a powerful, believable performance to run for the Oscar, and I think we have to wait until we see that there's a script first. It's a powerful story, and will make for a harrowing and painful film that's really going to capture the imagination.
Boyle to Put In 127 Hours

... with a movie about Aron Raltson, the mountain climber who amputated his own arm with a dull knife in 2003 after it became pinned under a boulder for five days. The film will reunite Boyle with Slumdog's creative team (Simon Beaufoy is in talks to write the script, Christian Colson will produce) and may star Ryan Gosling, though nothing's been made official. The working title is 127 Hours, but we suspect Fox Searchlight will ask him to edit it down to two. [BFDealMemo/Variety] ...

That pitch may not be the sort of thing people generally think of when looking for thrilling real life stories to brought to life on the big screen, but if Hollywood is now open to the great moments of tedium or mundanity of human experience, we thought we'd take a look around and find what other gems are sitting out there today, just ready for their close ups. ...
