Indiewire and Slash Film reported that Danny Boyle has confirmed on the project as revealed in an interview during BAFT Brittania Awards. He also confirmed that Simon Beaufroy has not hyet started the screenplay, which will be based on Boyle’s treatment.
Don't worry about the screenplay as Boyle also has made a statement regarding on how he will 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.
In other words, the movie will have to rely on the non-dialogue acting strength of the cast whom will fit in the role of Aron Ralston.
Also, Boyle claims that the film “has no green light or budget,” although one would assume that the Oscar winner will have no trouble finding those once he has a completed script. The original report sais that Boyle is hoping to start shooting in March 2010, and that Fox Searchlight wants to release it by the end of that year for awards season.
