Danny Boyle on ‘127 hours’
Danny Boyle started off as an edgy, indy filmmaker with such hits as ?Shallow Grave? and ?Trainspotting.? But after several more well-received mainstream films, he launched into international superstardom with his Oscar-winning film ?Slumdog Millionaire.? No doubt his newest movie “127 Hours” will continue to keep his names on everyone’s radar. It’s already getting a ton of buzz ? including rumors of audience members passing out and vomiting during each screening.
The film stars James Franco as Aron Ralston, a real outdoorsman whose arm was trapped under a boulder for 127 hours in a Utah canyon. Inevitably, Aron goes to extreme measures to free himself. Danny Boyle talks with us about his new film, which is in limited release today.
