Movie Cricket

Filmmaker Danny Boyle is going to follow up his Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire" by spending some time in Utah.

To be exact, 127 hours.

Daily Variety reports that Boyle and Fox Searchlight (which released "Slumdog") have announced plans to team up again, for "127 Hours," a movie depicting the harrowing ordeal of mountain climber Aron Ralston (pictured). The rest of the "Slumdog" team will also be involved: Producer Christian Colson is back, and writer Simon Beaufoy is in talks to write the screenplay.

For those who don't recall, Ralston was the mountaineer who was on a climb in Utah in May 2003, when his right forearm was pinned by a boulder for five days. He only survived — SPOILER ALERT! — by cutting his arm off and climbing a 65-foot sheer wall before finding help.

No word yet on who would play Ralston — a role that, like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away," require acting alone for most of the movie.
