After Danny Boyle's resounding Oscar triumph two years ago with Slumdog Millionaire, he's almost assuredly got another darling on his hands with his latest, the James Franco-starring 127 Hours. The film, which received raves on the festival circuit for Boyle's direction and Franco's performance (and also reportedly caused at least one panic attack), is the story of rock-climber Aron Ralston, who found himself trapped beneath a boulder in the mountains of Utah and was forced to hack off his own hand to escape. ANYWAY, now we've got not only a striking, minimalist new poster for the film, but an extended trailer, which showcases what looks to be a phenomenal performance from Franco (although c'mon, "of all time"? Give it some time to give it context, Kanye West-sounding film critic whose name I didn't catch), as well as what looks like a neat narrative conceit to deal with the fact that it's essentially a one-man show. 127 Hours opens on November 5th; here's the trailer.
