Reports in America suggest Danny Boyle will be directing a film about mountaineer Aron Ralston who had to amputate his own arm to survive.
According to Variety, Fox Searchlight has teamed up with the Oscar-winning director to make the film, provisionally titled 127 Hours.

It’s expected that Boyle will work with some of his Slumdog Millionaire team on the production, including writer Simon Beaufoy and producer Christian Colson.
Ralston hit the headlines in 2003, after a mountaineering accident in Utah.

He was climbing alone, when a boulder fell down and trapped his right arm.
Stuck there for 4 days, he finally took out a blunt pocket-knife and started to operate on himself. It took an hour to complete the amputation.
As if that wasn’t enough, he then crawled through a canyon, descended an 18 metre cliff and walked 10km before meeting someone who could help.
