Sounds... interesting. I'm in for anything Boyle. Dated for early November.

I'm in for this.

Love Boyle, don't hate Franco, and I think I'm familiar with this story, which could be turned into a pretty interesting flick.



Jesus H. Christ...reading his wiki entry makes me woozy!

Boyle's been on a downturn lately. Sunshine was derivative and Slumdog was pandering. Hopefully this brings him back up to snuff.

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

Franco certainly looks the part when he's got long hair. I'd be up for this as long as the trailer looks good.

This film needs Mormon zombies.

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

Yup. I expect Franco to give a disarming performance.

That wiki article is really specific. I especially like this part:

... If I encountered someone who just had just gone through an experience like that, I'd give them the whole freakin' pack of Oreos!

The book is quite excellent, so I'll give this a chance

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

Danny Boyle made two interesting films - 'Trainspotting' and '28 Days Later'.

Everything else has been lousy.

I avoid movies with his name attached now.

Trailer

Is it just me, or does Franco come off as someone with major ADD in this? Plus, it looks kind of funny and I doubt that's the intent of this film.

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

I think it's just type of personality of the character he's playing. I'm interested in this thing here now....

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

Looks extremely boring & filmed & edited like its some kind of energy drink commercial. Boyle has made 2 films I love (Trainspotting & the Beach), & two I like a lot (A Life Less Ordinary & Sunshine), but I've found everything else he has done to be pretty overrated including 28 Days Later.

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

There is apparently an entire hour of this movie with no dialogue...simply devoted to his struggle to survive.

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

well I hope it's not boring.

I dunno about most of you but I've enjoyed the films I've seen from Boyle, haven't seen The Beach yet though...

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

I have no problem with a slow film if it's made well, but the more I watch this trailer, the more I don't like it. Franco's acting seems really off and his screams at the end were hilarious.

It's also not good that they're whoring out Boyle's whole filmography with actual clips in order to generate interest.

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

Early reviews of this movie have started to come out... they've been pretty fantastic with a lot of praise for Franco.

I'd like to see James Franco in something I can care about his acting beyond Pineapple Express...none of his films really capture my attention, but I like him...seems like a cool guy. This one for sure has my attention...

New trailer, and it looks fantastic!

I wouldn't call the trailer fantastic. It seems decent but now that the whole movie has been spoiled I'm less likely to see it.

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

Im a huge Boyle fan so I cant wait to see this. After the Social Network this was my most anticipated movie of the year. It looks pretty interesting to me, and now that im living In Utah maybe I can go out and actually see where this happened.

What do people have against Danny Boyle. He is one of the only directors that I can think of whose films have been close to a different genera each time. and each of them are pretty good. (well 2/3 of each movie are excellent and the rest are ok... im talking about you sunshine and the beach)

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

Saw this last night in a packed house. Audience reaction seemed to be overwhelmingly positive.

I thought the movie was very good, but at times extremely uneven. Some of the techniques Boyle uses work very well, others don't. Franco's performance is well done, and the movie's pacing is great.

I do have to say, that no other movie I've seen in recent memory made me feel so incredibly fragile leaving the theater.

Re: 127 Hours (Boyle, 2010) — James Franco as mountain climber in accident drama
 

Do they bring up Phish at all? The real Aron Ralston is a huge fan and i've already noticed a few references in the trailer and clips put online.



Just wondering
