“Slumdog Millionare” Director to Make Movie about Aron Ralston

By Rocky Thompson on November 6th, 2009

Motivational speaker and guy who cut off his own hand after it became pinned under a boulder, Aron Ralston will be the subject matter for an upcoming film called 127 Hours. The film is not serialized in 65 2-hour segments, but rather a feature-length film about the 127 hours that Ralston spent with his hand pinned in Utah. The creative team behind “Slumdog Millionaire,” which took home 8 Oscars last year will begin shooting “127 Hours” late next year.

    Motivational speaker?! That’s just wierd. And a full length movie? Come on.
    Although I am kind of inspired by that sage, pensive gaze into the distance in the photo.

    Unless they include pain-induced delusions, I’m doubting this movie will have the pacing/editing style of Slumdog Millionare–though I will hold out hope for a Bollywood musical number at the end!
