Variety reports that Fox Searchlight and
Danny Boyle are set for their next collaboration,
127 Hours, a film that tells the story of mountaineer Aron Ralston.
The film tells the tale of Ralston, whose right forearm got pinned for nearly five days under a boulder during a climb in Utah in May 2003. He used a dull knife to amputate the limb, then scaled a 65-foot sheer wall and hiked out before running into a family that gave him water and food. He was finally rescued by helicopter.
Boyle will direct the film with
Simon Beaufoy writing the script, and production will begin next year for a late 2010 release.
