Excellent new trailer for '127 Hours'

Who's looking forward to Danny Boyle's "127 Hours"? I certainly am, and after watching this brand-new trailer for the adventure, I'm even more stoked about the project. Make sure you check it out below.

"127 Hours" is based on the true story of Aron Ralston, who amputated his own arm and rescued himself after being trapped under a boulder for almost five days during a dangerous climb in Utah in 2003.

Much like the first trailer, this preview promises a bunch of drama and action mixed with a bit of comedy. I heard the film is incredibly tough to watch at times, but I feel that's exactly what will make it great.
