Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours To Have Over An Hour of No Dialogue
21 hours ago | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
A couple days ago it was reported that Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) had found his next film project, 127 Hours, a story of Aron Ralston, the mountain climber who amputated his own arm to free himself after being trapped by a boulder for nearly five days. Indiewire had a chance to talk to the filmmaker at the Bafra Brittania Awards, and Boyle confirmed that Slumdog Millionaire writer Simon Beaufoy has not yet started the screenplay, which will be based on Boyle's treatment. But the big news tidbit to come out of the conversation is how he plans to shoot the film. Boyle intends to film the first hour of the movie with no dialogue. In the true life story, Ralston was completely alone, stuck in the canyon. And Boyle will not be introducing any volleyball tricks a la Tom Hanks in Castaway. The film will have ... »

The Tournament (Film Review)
22 hours ago | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Every seven years, 30 of the world’s most deadly assassins take over a random city and compete for a ten million dollar prize. The rules are simple. The contestants have twenty-four hours to be the sole survivor, if not a tracking device implanted in their abdomen will detonate. Let the game begin.
If you’re a fan of action blockbusters like Transporter or Crank than The Tournament should excite you. The film is ninety minutes of explosions, slow-motion, 300-style fight sequences, and shoot-em-up action. But what really sets The Tournament apart from most films in this genre is the gratuitous gore, hence the appeal to fright fans. There are plenty of exploding heads/dismemberments and because the tournament takes place in a random city, there is no shortage of civilian casualties. The body count is high and unlike cartoonish films like Transformers, the mayhem is bloody and visceral.
But if you’re like me, »

Danny Boyle Knows Where He'll Spend '127 Hours'
5 November 2009 7:33 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
After a year of speculation (Will it be James Bond? Will it be Maximum City? Trainspotting 2?), Danny Boyle has finally settled on his next project. Variety reports that it will be 127 Hours, the tale of mountain climber Aron Ralston. Boyle has been loosely attached to the project since June when the La Times reported that Boyle and Fox Searchlight had signed a long term, best friends forever deal. Boyle has already penned a treatment, and Simon Beaufoy is in talks to write the script.
In this age of flashmob media stories, you might have forgotten the tale of Ralston. Like your humble authoress and Balloon Boy, Ralston hails from Colorado. He became famous for a Utah climbing accident in 2003, when an 800 lb boulder shifted and crushed his hand. Ralston was forced to choose between life and limb, and in a stomach-turning story heard around the world, he amputated his own hand with a pocketknife. »

Danny Boyle's next pic announced
5 November 2009 12:40 AM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
Director Danny Boyle has picked his next movie to make. After his Slumdog Millionaire took home eight Oscars this year (including statues for Best Picture and Best Director), the 28 Days Later/The Beach/Trainspotting maestro will make 127 Hours for Fox Searchlight, the same studio he pacted on Millionaire with.
The movie is based on the real-life account of mountain climber Aron Ralston and the incredible act of survival he undertook when trapped alone in the wilderness back in 2003. Ralston had been attempting to climb a canyon in Utah by himself when a boulder came free and pinned his right forearm under it. For five days he awaited rescue and sipped the little supply of water he had. Realizing that no one knew where he was, Ralston carved his name, birthdate and presumed date of death into the rock face and then videotaped a final message to his family. With no »

Peeking Behind the Doors of Seismic Change: Televisionary Talks to "Endgame" Star Chiwetel Ejiofor
20 October 2009 11:50 AM, PDT | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »
Golden Globe nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor is perhaps best known for his work in such diverse films as American Gangster, Dirty Pretty Things, Serenity, Love Actually, Redbelt, and Kinky Boots. The British actor has made a career of playing deeply complex individuals, from cross-dresser Lola in Kinky Boots to Dirty Pretty Things' cab driver and former doctor Okwe. In PBS' gripping apartheid thriller Endgame, which airs Stateside this Sunday as part of the new season of Masterpiece Contemporary, Ejiofor, recently appointed an OBE by Queen Elizabeth, plays South African political figure Thabo Mbeki, a key player in secret negotiations between the African National Congress and the South African government that were brokered by Consolidated Goldfields. Remarkably these talks resulted in an end to apartheid in South Africa and Endgame, written by Paula Milne and directed by Pete Travis, dramatize the secret talks, which occurred at Mells Park, an estate in England. »

Secret Identity: Five Actors Who Could Play Magneto In 'X-Men Origins: Magneto'
15 October 2009 2:46 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Given recent comments from Sir Ian McKellen about his involvement (or lack thereof) in the upcoming "X-Men Origins: Magneto" film from Fox, it's time to face the inevitable—Magneto is going to be recast. This was already a virtual certainty due to the story's purported focus on the Master of Magnetism's more youthful days, but McKellen's words confirm the need for a new, younger actor.
Recasting Magneto is difficult for a number of reasons. For one, McKellen already played him so expertly that an actor of his quality is absolutely essential—and not only that, but it'd be a good idea to find someone who looks like they could age into McKellen's likeness, which is very tricky. For that reason, I think it's more important to focus on finding an excellent, fitting actor for the role, rather than selecting an actor based on his likeness to McKellen.
When and if "X-Men Origins: Magneto" gets underway, »

Advertorial Feature: British Film In Bloom
12 October 2009 7:29 AM, PDT | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
There was a time, not so long ago, when the British film ilm industry was a sickly thing. A few headline-grabbing productions asides, most British films were disdained by critics and shunned by audiences. The industry was routinely said to be in crisis; obituaries were written, last rites administered.
Flash forward to 2009 and the situation is radically different. British film is in robust health, both commercially and artistically . and frequently at the same time.
Looking For Eric is a useful example. Directed by Ken Loach, it is the story of a depressed Mancunian postman who turns his life around with help from the most unlikely of life-coaches: Eric Cantona. True, 'King Eric' may only be a hallucination but he's real enough to get our hero back on track just in time for the year's happiest ending. No wonder it was so acclaimed at the year's Cannes Film Festival, nor that »
McGregor's Spooky Encounter
11 October 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Ewan McGregor has never recovered from a spooky experience on his 20th birthday - insisting a ghostly encounter left him scared of the supernatural.
The Trainspotting star suffered a traumatic haunting at a house he had rented in his native Britain, and admits the event convinced him ghosts are real.
He explains, "I was in my dressing gown, running a bath when I felt this horrible pain in my back.
"I then told the chap who lived downstairs and he told me that the old man who lived in the house had been in a kitchen fire and died from burns to his back. I was so freaked out that I moved out!" »
Next for Danny Boyle

I know what you've absolutely all been asking yourselves upon waking up this fine morning: What's Danny Boyle been up to lately? Let me put your mind at ease: it's not My Fair Lady with Keira "Period Drama" Knightley, that one "sadly" fell through. *cough* In a quick Q&A with Digital Spy, the director touched upon the slew of films he's rumored or attached to since his Oscar sweep with Slumdog Millionaire, mainly that the Trainspotting sequel still isn't any close... »

Danny Boyle's Next Project Cuts Off Its Own Arm?
9 October 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Last Christmas my brother received a copy of Between A Rock And A Hard Place, Aron Ralston's memoir about a climbing accident that left his arm wedged between two rocks, and his decision to cut off his own arm to save his life. Yeah, it came illustrated with pictures, and we banished my brother to his room to read it by himself before the day was over. Anyway-- the story is a fascinating one, and like pretty much any tales of triumph over tragedy, it's destined to become a movie. Luckily for us, Danny Boyle will probably be the one to make it. The Playlist has used their powers of deduction to figure out that the Aaron Ralston story will probably be Boyle's next film, given that he's said that Maximum City, a Trainspotting sequel, 28 Months Later and a planned My Fair Lady remake are all still in the works. »
Danny Boyle Zeroes In On His Next Project
8 October 2009 9:45 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
After Danny Boyle won his Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire, there was a lot of speculation about what he might do next. Porno, the sequel to Trainspotting? Another turn behind the camera for one of those 28 Weeks Later movies? A return visit to India? All have been mentioned as options, but it looks like none will emerge as his next film.
The director spoke to Digital Spy (via The Playlist) and said very little: "I can't quite tell you about it because it's not quite all signed, sealed and sorted out legal-wise. It's based on a true story so there were complications to do with rights, that kind of stuff," Boyle says, thereby eliminating the first two options.
"We're close to solving it and hope to be shooting in March next year." »

Danny Boyle's Next Project Shoots Next Year, But What Is It?
8 October 2009 3:59 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
One filmmaker we haven't heard a lot from recently is Danny Boyle, which is unfortunate considering I love the guy and want to see him already working on another project. However, The Playlist claims to have figured out exactly what Boyle will be shooting next, a project we've already written about before. Boyle recently talked with Digital Spy about his "next movie" and apparently said it was everything but one single project (or so The Playlist thinks). That project being the one about the Utah mountain climber who had to amputate his own arm with a dull knife when it got pinned down by a boulder while hiking. Bring it! Boyle confirmed that his next project won't be Bombay-set Maximum City, a sequel to Trainspotting (or the Porno adaptation), 28 Months Later, or My Fair Lady. Boyle goes on to say that he does know what his next project will be, »

Q&A: Danny Boyle on his next movie
8 October 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Collecting a Dsma earlier this week after Slumdog Millionaire was voted Movie Of The Year by Digital Spy readers, Danny Boyle phoned us up for a chat about the film that has taken the world by storm over the past 12 months. However, there is still the big question of what he will direct next. We quizzed the amiable filmmaker about the movies his name has been linked to recently and here's what he had to say... On Trainspotting sequel Porno...
"That's a genuinely long-term project. What we want is all the actors to play the same characters but 20 years on, where they are visibly changed. Your relationship with them carries a lot of baggage. We wouldn't want to repeat the formula, we want to challenge the actors to be faced with doing something very different. With those characters, people feel like they're real, people talk about them (more) »

Slumdog Millionaire has scooped the top gong at the Digital Spy Movie Awards. Danny Boyle's captivating Mumbai-set underdog story, which swept the Oscars and BAFTAs earlier this year, has landed the Movie Of The Year prize at our first ever movie awards. We caught up with Danny to chat about the film's incredible achievements. > In Pictures: 'Slumdog Millionaire'

"Thanks very much to everyone for the award! Fantastic! I'm very chuffed, that's great. You should never get blasé about awards because you'll be a long time in the wilderness afterwards!
