Boyle’s 127 Hours coming on 28 January

MUMBAI: Having already created a stir across the festival circuit, Danny Boyle‘s biopic 127 Hours is all set to release in India on 28 January.

The film, based on real-life mountain climber Aron Ralston‘s autobiography ‘Between a Rock and a Hard Place‘, was co-written by Boyle and Simon Beaufoy and produced by Christian Colson, who had previously teamed up with Boyle and John Smithson for Slumdog Millionaire. 

The biopic, about a rock climber, has bagged three nominations at the forthcoming 68th Annual Golden Globes awards including Best Score for Indian music maestro AR Rahman, best actor (Drama) and best screenplay.

Said Fox Star Studios chief executive officer Vijay Singh, “We are delighted with the response and buzz that 127 Hours is garnering across the world. It is a very special film and the nominations are a testimony to its brilliance. We believe that the Indian audiences will appreciate this outstanding film, just like they did Slumdog Millionaire.”

The film stars James Franco as Ralston who got trapped by a boulder in Robbers Roost, Utah, for more than five days in 2003.
