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.

Danny Boyle's '127 Hours' to open in November

Who's ready for Danny Boyle's next movie? No, it does not involve any dancing. It's a drama titled "127 Hours," and Fox Searchlight Pictures has announced it will unleash it into theaters Nov. 5, 2010.

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

Simon Beaufoy, who also wrote Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire," penned the script. Boyle's directing credits also include "28 Days Later." James Franco is playing Ralston in "127 Hours." (via Coming Soon)

'Leap Year' trailer shows entire movie

I'm a huge fan of trailers, but it is quite alarming how many previews these days show us an entire film. Case in point: the new trailer for Anand Tucker's upcoming romantic comedy "Leap Year."

Indeed, this one already reveals all there is to reveal (unless the movie boasts a major twist we don't see here, which i doubt), and on top of that, it doesn't even look that exciting or funny.

In "Leap Year," Amy Adams stars as a young woman who travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend (Adam Scott) on leap day, Feb. 29. Tradition says men have to say yes on that day.

Danny Boyle's next film is '127 Hours'

Danny Boyle, whose "Slumdog Millionaire" won a ridiculous eight Oscars, is prepping his next project with Fox Searchlight: "127 Hours," a drama focusing on the story of mountaineer Aron Ralston.

Simon Beaufoy, who wrote "Slumdog," is in talks to write the script from a treatment by Boyle. Variety says the plan right now is to have the film ready for release by late 2010.

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

Boyle's directing credits also include "Sunshine," "Millions" and "28 Days Later." "127 Hours" sounds like an intense project, and I'm already interested to see what Boyle ends up doing with it.

'Slumdog' screenwriter Beaufoy to write 'Leap Year'

Golden Globe winner Simon Beaufoy is set to write Spyglass Entertainment's upcoming comedy "Leap Year."

The film stars Amy Adams as a young woman who travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on leap day, Feb. 29. Tradition says men have to say yes on that day.

But when bad weather threatens to ruin her plan, she embarks on a turbulent trip with an Irish innkeeper to pull off her proposal before it’s too late.

Anand Tucker, who most recently helmed "And When Did You Last See Your Father?," is on board to direct. "Made of Honor" screenwriters Harry Elfont and Deb Kaplan wrote an early draft.

Beaufoy recently won a Golden Globe and got nominated for an Oscar for his acclaimed screenplay for "Slumdog Millionaire."

The scribe's other writing credits include "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" and "The Full Monty," for which he also received an Oscar nomination in 1998.
