Aron Ralston's Survival Story Heading to the Big Screen

Danny Boyle, the Oscar winning director of Slumdog Millionaire just announced his next project: a mountaineer epic about the Colorado-based climber Aron Ralston, according to Variety. Ralston, of course, is best known for cutting off his right hand after an 800-pound boulder fell on it while hiking Utah's Bluejohn Canyon in 2003. The movie, called 127 hours, will chronicle Ralston's struggle to stay alive. Variety says the script is likely to be penned by Slumdog screenwriter, Simon Beaufoy. —Laura Buckley

I saw this movie! It was so intense I got goose bumps... it is a must see. It totally got me thinking differently about traveling... and of course about the human spirit.

Figured this would happen sooner or later, but the title stinks. Even "How to Cut Your Hand Off" would've been a better title than "127 Hours".
