Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle’s latest film 127 Hours, which stars James Franco, has been announced as the picture to close this year’s London Film Festival.
127 Hours recounts the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston, played by Franco, who became trapped under a boulder for five days. Incredibly, in order to free himself, Ralston amputated his own arm.
In a statement, Boyle said: "LFF played a vital role in the journey of Slumdog Millionaire in 2008 and it's great to be bringing new work here and renewing a happy partnership.” Sandra Hebron, the festival's artistic director, said, “127 Hours was the obvious choice for us”.
127 Hours opens in the UK in January 2011. For more, click here.
