Short description
The true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston's remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah.
What's left behind the scenes
- Filming took place both in Blue John Canyon, in the very place where the incident occurred, and on a soundstage, where an exact replica of the crevice in which the protagonist found himself trapped was made.
- The film is based on the autobiographical book of young amateur climber Aaron Ralston, who one weekend in 2003, without telling anyone, went to his favorite canyon. By a cruel twist of fate, he stumbled and fell into a crevice.
- In the crevices and among the rocks in the canyon set, James Franco hid textbooks, which he needed as a means of combating claustrophobia, inevitable on the tiny set where he had to spend many hours.
- James Franco hid textbooks in the crevices and among the rocks of the canyon set; he used them as a way to combat the claustrophobia that was inevitable on the tiny filming set where he had to spend many hours.
- Cillian Murphy was considered for the lead role in the film.
- Special effects supervisor Tony Gardner spent a great deal of time preparing the amputation scene and consulted with doctors. One and a half days were allocated to film the scene at the very end of the production period. Danny Boyle managed to capture everything necessary in one long shot (lasting 20 minutes in real time) on the very first take.
- Katie Featherston auditioned for the role of Christie. Jena Malone and Lake Bell could also have starred in the film.
- Aron Ralston did indeed keep a video diary while trapped in the canyon. The recording was shown only to Ralston's close relatives. Before the release of "127 Hours," Danny Boyle and James Franco were given permission to view it.
- When the main character, played by James Franco, falls into the canyon and his arm gets stuck in the rocks, director, screenwriter, and producer Danny Boyle ordered him to be filmed for 20 minutes without a break, during which time he demonstrated a wide range of emotions. Only after that did Boyle order the camera to be turned off and the footage to be edited, which made it into the film.
- The film accurately recreates the set of equipment that Ralston had at his disposal on that unfortunate day.
- Sebastian Stan could have played Aron Ralston.
