After a short teaser, a second trailer for director Danny Boyle‘s next film, 127 Hours has arrived. The drama tells the true story of Aron Ralston (James Franco), the mountain climber who had to sever his own arm after he is trapped by a boulder.
I got to see the excellent film at the Toronto International Film Festival a few weeks ago and loved it. You can check out my full review here, but it is an intense and surprisingly upbeat revelation of life. This trailer captures the movie quite well and shows us more of the post-trapped footage. When at first I believed this is a one-view only type film, this trailer makes me want to check it out again!
The film stars James Franco, Amber Tamblyn, Kate Mara, Clemence Poesy, Kate Burton and Lizzy Caplan. Check out the trailer that features Band of Horses‘ The Funeral below via Apple.
Synopsis: 127 HOURS is the new film from Danny Boyle, the Academy Award winning director of last year’s Best Picture, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. 127 HOURS is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston’s (James Franco) remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he is finally rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers (Clemence Poesy), family, and the two hikers (Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara) he met before his accident. Will they be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet? A visceral thrilling story that will take an audience on a never before experienced journey and prove what we can do when we choose life.
127 Hours hits theaters November 5th.
