Danny Boyle's 127 HOURS trailer hits - a new wave in suspense begins...
Hey folks, Harry here and it seems we have the new wave in suspense film making. Lionsgate has BURIED with Ryan Reynolds - about a soldier buried alive with his cel phone by, well... bad people. Or at the very least people with different priorities. Now we see that Danny Boyle's 127 HOURS is about being alone, stuck, in the middle of nowhere... and let's see how it turns out for James Franco. Then there's Alfonso Cuaron's GRAVITY - about an astronaut that has a cataclysmic accident that separates her from the Hubble on a declining orbit in the vastness of space. Probably constantly in contact, but hopelessly screwed. Now, this isn't anything particularly new... We all remember OPEN WATER, right? Hitchcock explored the theme with LIFEBOAT, but I do think this is the first time that we've had a series of films hit with the common theme of being hopelessly alone. Now the first to get released is going to be BURIED. Everyone that I know that has seen it has the highest recommendations for the film. I know it is also hard to bet against Danny Boyle and 127 HOURS. And if you're going to bet against Alfonso Cuaron and GRAVITY - you're insane. I just think it is fascinating that we've got a series of high quality alone films coming. Of course you're waiting for this link where you can see the trailer for 127 HOURS. This is so not a film for my Dad. He got stuck for hours spelunking and DESCENT freaked him. This. This is his nightmare.

That never seemed to work on my system, so thanks for the new approach. BTW, I'd give one of my digits to be a principal in a Danny Boyle movie.
-
...but it sure smells good!
-
I wrote that BEFORE I knew this was going to be about Aron Ralston. How coincidental, this movie is going to be brutal.
-
I've heard some amazing (almost preposterous) things about GRAVITY!

Who the hell wants to see 127 hrs?
by Planty_McPlant_Plants_His_Plant_At_AICN
I mean, guy gets trapped, guy gets desperate, guy saws his limb off. Just don't see the appeal in something like that.
-
Like I'm going to date a woman with an 'Obama' bumper sticker on her car.
-
In the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, with only jeans and a t-shirt and no grasp of the German language. It is fucking surreal to be in these situations and increasingly hopeless.
-
Were you a portly child? I saw a girl get stuck in a water slide once, lets just say she was of considerable 'carriage'.
-
I get what you're saying but like I said from experiencing a situation of dangerous isolation, it's a pure form of dread in today's desensitised society. I started working out how to break into people's garages so I could steal a car or just get shelter. It really is a sudden shift in perception and makes you do things you wouldn't consider. Everyone should experience being on the fringe once. I can see where the drama would come from.

Sunshine is far superior to two of the movies on your list.

not exactly a new wave of suspense..

127 hours... Boyle's filmmaking and a crazy mtn biker... so up m
by joe b
I love the cinematography in Boyle's movie for one thing.. but the fact that main character is so identifiable... I know something about those situations on epic mountain bike rides where it gets sketchy about how you're gettin back to your vehicle in one piece. And that true to life scene of painfully crashing but totally laughing at yourself as initial reaction ... nice one. I'm there

ANother "hoplessly" trapped suspenseful horror movie
-
...it's interesting to see a trailer that seems to have slapped on its central conflict in the final seconds of the trailer. You can obviously make the point that the trailer was made to entice potential viewers with (1) it's a true story, and (2) this guy had an interesting, adventurous/spirited life. Still, my thoughts during the trailer's final seconds, which says nothing definitive about the quality of the overall movie, weren't "Oh no, he just got stuck! How terrible. I want to learn what happens next," which I think was the intended reaction. Instead, the final seconds called attention to themselves, feeling slapped on. I didn't expect that reaction because I am familiar with the true story/source material (I own the book).
-
I'm interested to know the story of how you got stranded in Germany, because something similar happened to me. I was on my way to a music festival in Denmark, someone spiked my drink at a bar and I was left robbed with no money, no passport and literally with just the clothes on my back in a foreign country. Terrifying.
-
I strongly agree with you. I thought Sunshine was pretty solid for nearly 3/4 of its running time. Then, it went into derivative "turn off your brain" mode. I also agree about The Beach. It has its flaws, yet it's more interesting and respectable than a lot of people give it credit for.
-
Okay then.
-
Like how do you sympathize with anything the main character does in that movie.."dont fuck my girlfriend.." he fucks the girlfriend. "dont give other people the map" he gives other people the map..Here's Leo in the Beach, "wait if i take this role I get to drink snakes blood? oh good that will get me to shed that Titanic image..sure Ill do it"
-
again..not exactly "new wave" happening here all of the sudden
-
Mine involved being stranded at a music festival in Germany. I still had money but I was in the middle of no-where. A massive field surrounded by forests and almost completely devoid of people. I ended up getting back to my hotel eventually but it was terrible. Was frozen cold, had cuts on my hand from barbwire (from a park I tried to get into) and ended up using up all the cash I had. I vowed never to return to Germany.
-
anyone have a youtube link,
-
I guess technically he wasn't "alone" though...
-
I have learned my lesson from your horrors: never go to European music festivals.

Mentions Bobby Wheeler in a lousy play about a guy stuck in the elevator. The theme of the play --what's worse, being stuck in an elevator, or watching a guy stuck in an elevator.

.....for most of my life. It's a black hole here. You cannot escape its grasp.
-
trying to buy acid off the lucky lucky men, I was young and stupid (for even talking to them cunts in the first place) luckily they just took most of my cash.<p> O yea this film looks alright.
-
Is probably one of the weakest movies I have ever watched ..... seriously, its utterly pointless, badly made and dull.
-
Studios are short on cash, and it's easier to pay one actor than it is a large cast.

Really, why did the biggest and most tiresome space cliche have to happen?

Andy Warshol's SLEEP- 5 FUCKING HOURS ALONE WITH THIS GUY!!!!!!
by JonChambers
-
little tedious at times but really had the creepy stranded alone vibe going. If you can deal with Casey Affleck and Damon alone in a desert for an hour and a half it is worth a look.
-
free himself?
-
Yes.
-
and i also don't see paying for it
-
Seriously, I understand that they always feel as though they have to add extra "cool and hip" elements to true stories to make them film-worthy (meaning adding tons of BS filler and making it "sexy" and "totally awesome")... but they could've done a MUCH better job with a preview like this. What is this, a suspense movie? An adventure movie? 97.3% of the trailer feels like a Piranha 3D totally-rad-Spring-break preview.<p><p>"Oh well we're gonna give it a light-hearted, free-spirited, adventurous feel so people won't expect it when we finally show the part where he gets trapped, and it'll be totally shocking to everyone as they realize what the movie is REALLY about. We're total marketing geniuses."<p><p>I guess this is just a teaser or something, so maybe the real trailer will actually take itself seriously. That is, if this is even supposed to be a serious movie. I honestly have no clue; judging by this preview, it could be a comedy for all I know. In which case this trailer would be a complete success.

Kinda corny that they have to show clips of his older movies...
by Mr. Profit
It's foolish. Let the film speak for itself. You don't see the trailer for "Black Swan" showing clips of "Pi", "Requiem For A Dream", "The Fountain" and "The Wrestler". It spoke for itself. <P>That said, the movie looks interesting. Also like how in the brief glimpses I saw in the trailer, he captured the beauty of the canyons in Utah. <P>I'd rather watch a movie like this than watch a movie where tech nerds type on laptops and threaten each other while cover of Radiohead's "Creep" plays...
-
the rest very meh... starts off good but becomes terrible (sunshine, 28days)
-
you do not talk about FIGHT CLUB!
-
He always does, in new and inventive ways.
-
Trainspotting and Slumdog and even 28 days are better than anything Nolan has ever done. We won't talk about that abortion of an ending on Sunshine though. That never happened. Boyle had a stroke while filming the final third of that movie. I am certain of it.
-
Remember reading his own account of that. Pretty gripping. I guess even Boyle can't screw up the ending of that one. <p> Or can he?
-

Nolan knows how to fuck up an ending
by Hey_Kobe_Tell_Me_How_My_Ass_Tastes
TDK - stupid and unnecessary. Inception - it was all a fucking dream.
-
People seem to hate that movie on this site. I enjoyed that movie. I have seen it a few times and still enjoy it. I can see why people hate it. Especially since the Twitter generation seemed to go a little too overboard in the praise of it... Kinda like the way people are going on and on now about Inception. <P>Either way, it was a film where if you are not into the premise and story and don't believe in fate, then the film is really not for you. <P>The only Boyle movie I outright hated was 28 Days Later. People love the shit out of that movie, but after the awesome waking up to a dead world sequence, the rest of the movie is boring IMO.
-
This looks to be a bit of a stretch. Ralston went out on his own, told no one where he was and had an accident. Many rules of backcountry travel were broken. Sure, he survived, but he's not viewed as a hero by anyone in the climbing community, that's for sure.
-
Who really wants to watch such a damn depressing story. The moment they showed the guy's name in the preview I recognized what it was and clicked it off. I'm so not interested in the exploits of captain dumb ass. He should have went with people, like rest of us people who go out in the wilderness.
-
I just spat water on myself when i read your headline laughing, i know its not funny. Also why are people on here saying "its about a guy stuck somewhere, wow". Its fucking danny boyle you know its gonna be more than just that. Also sunshine is a great movie but in the cinema it is fucking epic. I dont know why people bitch about the ending though i thought it was good throughout. Man i have to buy shallow grave not seen it for years.
-
Give me some more Rents, Begbie and Sickboy
-
shot nice, originalish story, and good actin by the cast...also it was very dark despite being such a "feelgoodish" movie... it reminds me a lot of city of god, except i can actually remember most of the movie (still CoG is great)
-
Firstly we have one of the greatest directors on the planet and secondly we have James Franco. I'm a massive Danny Boyle fan because, lets face it, he's made some immense films and hasn't been defined by one particular genre. In this day and age that's an impressive feat for any successful director. I've been on the Danny Boyle train since shallow grave and he has yet to dissapoint (even with the beach, which didn't live up to the novel but was still entertaining). Likewise, James Franco is consistantly the best thing about most films that he stars in. He's a great actor and is funny as hell .this will be great.
-
What about the final reel of Trainspotting? Yep, I thought so douches.
-
He wants to know why Danny Boyle is remaking Into The Wild already.
-
...was my least favorite.
-
Danny Boyle is shit hot, but Nolan is the Hitchcock for our generation. Simple as. Nolan is a visual genius.
-
...SLUMDOG is my least favorite. How the fuck did I typo an entire word?
-
I was just going to rant at you for a minute there.

-
get defuck outta here - hitchcock, why just because he is British? Nolan is a good director done in by Nolan the bad writer. Remember when M Night was the Hitchcock of the gen? yeah, thought so.
-
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:47 p.m. CST
and for you dweebs saying what Ralston did was no biggie
by Hey_Kobe_Tell_Me_How_My_Ass_Tastes
ha! i fucking laugh at you assholes who would be terrified to clip a toenail let alone breaking the bones in your arm then using a dull knife to cut it off.
-
Thanks for the reminder. 28 DAYS LATER was one of the worst films in the genre I've ever seen. A guy in an untended coma for weeks just eats a few candy bars and he can then run marathons getting away from the killer hordes?! And it just gets worse from there on? Oh, by the way, the bloody site doesn't work. I just get an 80 by7te 'mov' file which isn't a true video file. Useless.
-
Firstly, learn grammar mate. Secondly, Nolan is easily the most exciting prospect ou there at the moment regardless of where he is from. With regards to M Night Shyamalan I can only say two words: wasted potential
-
"Firstly, learn grammar mate. Secondly, Nolan is easily the most exciting prospect ou there " <p> Starting a sentence with an adverb is a no-no Mr grammar police. What defuck is "...ou there.."?<p> yeah, dats called irony mate.
-
It will be interesting how he deals with the self imposed narrative restrictions. I'm a sucker for single location (or close to single location) films. 12 Angry Men, Cube, Rear Window, Lifeboat are all great examples. I'll be interested to see if Franco can carry most of the film on his shoulders.
-
Damnit.
-
since it was one of the most overrated "horror" films of the last decade.
-
no way in hell i would do it. not unless the life of someone i loved was on the line. no way. i have way too many other not fatal things that i enjoy to risk it all climbing.
-
ha! it was funny, the next day, when I came across the alley again, I even took a picture of it, it looked nice in the sunlight too, also it was all my own fault....so I can't blame anyone but myself <p> And I totally agree about Sunshine, especially like the great scifi soundtrack, also I think I read somewhere that Boyle couldn't film the ending to Sunshine the way he wanted, I can't remember if it was budget or he just couldn't convey what he was aiming for correctly, on film. I still enjoy it though.
-
Though this guy clearly deserved what he got. You don't respect the mountain, the mountain sho nuff ain't gonna respect you.
-
And Planty_McPlant gave away the 5%. That's just peachy.
-
is that he doesn't have a distinct style. That's why Slumdog didn't work for me mostly (some of it was cool, like the end) but Sunshine was engaging through and through. Odd, but the man has directing chops no doubt about that.
-
...and MILLIONS have a lot in common...just off the top of my head.
-
...great movie.
-
...count the good movies he's been in on the fingers of one hand.

I love A Life Less Ordinary. Call me crazy. I like it.
-
Not even on cable.
-
The tacked-on elements promoting how "adventurous" his life were just come off as canned Hollywood-Honeymoon shit that you would see in a terrible movie like "A Perfect Getaway." And they save the reveal of the premise for the last 5 seconds, and then don't do a very good job of showing what should be a really awesome suspense piece. *shrug* I really don't care, because with Danny Boyle directing and James Franco running the show by himself, I know it will be awesome. I'm just underwhelmed by the trailer.
-
If I were you I'd remedy that situation pronto.
-
...one day soon we'll line everyone else up and let Cameron Diaz shoot apples off their heads. <P> The issue of whether or not they are A LIFE LESS ORDINARY fans is not one that they're likely to have to resolve in this world... or, indeed, the next, since we will be going to some heaven full of glamorous pussy, and they will be cleaning the floor of a diner in hell.

My surreal "I'm gonna die out here" moment came to me when I drove my late 80s model VW Jetta (BTW, this is years ago, before cell phones were commonplace) out to Colorado from Los Angeles. I had what I thought was a fuel line problem, which caused my car to violently buck and stall repeatedly, so I stopped temporarily in Vegas and got an opinion from the "car guy" who was with my brother in a separate car as we all traveled on the road together. I thought i'd have to go back to L.A. but since I didn't want to miss out on Christmas in CO, I instead decided to go on. Well, when I reached the snowy hills and mountains on the way, my car died repeatedly. I had no phone, it was very late, I didn't have a working radio in my car and there were no cars on the road AND I did not have heavy winter clothing. I knew I was going to die frozen in place if I did not somehow make it. I was not even sure where the destination was, since the car I was following had the map! Well, I finally made it to CO at something like 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, I had found the place by memory (I had been there before, but not this way) and I was totally bleary eyed and shaking like a leaf. All true.

EXTREME SPORT DOUCHEBAG LOSES WANK ARM : THE MOVIE.......

Really, who fucking cares? I have a searing hate for these morons who risk their lives for superficial thrills and have ZERO sympathy for them whe they get splattered. You can be sure as fuck that the entire thing will be peppered with flashbacks about how he got there. We cheer when dipshits like this get massacred in Piranha 3D and, yet, we are now expected to sympathize with one of them? Why? Because the fucking retard put himself into a situation and managed to survive? There's NOTHING interesting or heroic about this stupid cunts story. He got what he deserved.

Moer like I didn't see it early on and by the time I had chance to see it, I'd already grown tired of the hype. I guess hype was totally justified, but it got beyond breaking point for me. Maybe the fact that I was in India at that time had something to do with it.
-
scary hehe
-
What is the problem with Danny Boyle? Every movie of him that I’ve seen (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, The Beach, Slumdog Millionaire) and apparently Sunshine as well starts off well and then about halfway through everything just falls apart. He’s like a very talented athlete that never wins a race. Strange
-
Love Trainspotting, 28 Days, Millions, Slumdog and Sunshine. Personally I think Millions is one of the most underrated family films ever - although its completely devoid of cynicism, which many talkbackers seem to thrive on.

Like allready mentioned in the TB this feels like a sensational short film without a star persona like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Pritty pictures though.

it follows the story of a 12 year old boy who gets a boner in English class and his teacher calls him up to the blackboard. WILL HE SURVIVE???? WILL HIS BONER BE HIS UNDOING?????

That happened near me. I'm thinking about getting a team of vigilantes together to hunt that cat hatin' bitch down. It'll look something like this.<p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3pZNXLK5vM<p>http://tinyurl.com/367dwnz
-
Is this considered for a 3D conversion yet?
-
...does everything "fall apart"? I've seen the movie many times (it's been a favorite since it was in theatres, where I saw it twice) and have yet to figure out where it is. Is it supposed to be before or after Renton moves to London? Also, even if it does allegedly slump, Renton's monologue at the end has gotta redeem it. That still give me chills.
-
It’s been a while since I’ve seen Trainspotting, but after he moves to London sounds about right. It could be that it’s less distinct than in his other movies, but I’m willing to bet that all your favorite parts occur in the first half.
-
TRAINSPOTTING was a film which featured not one likable character. Just a bunch of losers doing loser things. This is supposed to be good cinema? SUNSHINE demands that we ignore all that's known of astrophysics, at a minimum. Then it takes a 'fair' SF film and changes it in midstream to gothic horror for no reason whatsoever. And, along the way, it has more plot holes than the main street here has pot holes. Or, 28 DAYS LATER which a high school student could have done a better job with. Picking at random from the LONG list of screwups in that film ... protagonist wandering 'dead', silent London and the director superimposes ... loud rock music?! The only way this idiot could have done worse is if he'd picked country/western. Yet people seem to think he's a good director? Unbelievable ...
-
this trailer mentions virtually all of Boyles films and focuses particularly on Slumdog. I'm all for the usual caption of "from the director of" but i think this trailer takes the idea of past glorys marketing to a whole new level. I'm intrigued about the film though. I like survival dramas, absolutely loved Into the wild and this seems to have a similar vibe.
-
...in which the one-armed Aron Ralston doesn't learn his lesson and ends up getting his *other* arm trapped under a boulder. He eventually has to saw it off by manipulating a blunt knife with his feet.
-
Like for Avatar, do we really need to see Cameron's other titles? "Oh! THAT James Cameron!". And speaking of the Avatar trailer, how come JC didn't put The Abyss up there? That was his best after Aliens.

I see this mvie every night in my head thanks very much, i have a recurring nightmare about being buried alive, couldnt watch the Descent past about 20 minutes thanks to a certain scene that terrified the life out of me.

France can be great (Pineapple Express, Milk) and he can be shite (Spiderman 1-3) so this is interesting.<p>Also I thought getting lost in Exeter and having to walk back to Taunton was a bad story but some of the ones here make me feel lucky. At least I was lost in my own country.
-
This happened to my cousin when he was little. Just for a minute or so before his dad spotted him. That's how I imagine Hell, except forever.

I liked the Ending, not as good as the rest of the film but it wasn't that bad... plus I enjoyed it more on repeat viewings. but I think I love it for its visuals. I love how the burnt man is never in focus, is blurry and hard to look at like looking into the sun

I'm guessing The Abyss wasn't mentioned in any trailers for Avatar because despite being a pretty good flick, it's the one film in his resume that didn't excite the masses and didn't make a great deal of profit. it's considered by many, including the bean counters to be his weakest film, therfore why risk mentioning it in an ad campaign. it would be like mentioning Hook in a trailer for a Spielberg Film. those money men. so shallow.

There is no doubt the first 2/3 - 3/4 of that movie are pretty great, but then when blurry burnt crispy man shows up, forget it. It was completely unneeded to go that route, as it was tense enough already. <p>That knocked it down from a 4 star movie to a 3 star for me.

Half of a good movie, and that half dealed with the characters as kids. The part when they were older was like a goofy soap opera.
-
"*SPOILER*" Dude has a plastic arm. <p> He fretted for all that time about cutting off a PLASTIC ARM?

28 Days Later, Shallow Grave, and Trainspotting. Never saw Millions even though it is usually touted as some kind of lost classic from the past few years.

127 hours later!

The shameless use of the cheesy shaky-blur cam every time Freddy-in-space was on-screen was literally laughable. That single idiotic cinematographic choice literally killed the entire movie for me. And that's saying a lot. But seriously, it looked like a joke. And that's not sarcasm-- I honestly couldn't see how any movie these days outside of a Sci-Fi channel made-for-TV-special could think something like that looked "cool" or "spooky", much less a director who is supposed to be competent. So I figured it must be a joke-version of the movie pre-edited for TV or something.

I was digging The Beach until Leo literally jumped the shark. All downhill racing from there. Likewise, I was loving some Sunshine, until the Extra Crispy Captain showed up and it devolved into ye olde psycho killer in space plot. Still, the eye candy at the end was fun, but why the big concern earlier that they were running out of air when the bomb was essentially this gigantic seemingly air-filled room? Continuity is a beach. If this does well, next we'll have "128 Hours," or will it be Days?

and survived..where's the suspense? Gee, when will he start hacking? Umm, toward the end of the movie? He probably had to fight off mountain lions and such, but still..

It's getting confusing how many movies are now being named after numbers. 15 minutes, 88 minutes, 28, 127 hours, 21 lbs. Numbers are so fucking boring!

Not easy, is it...

Stephen King wrote a nifty and diturbing version of that scenario called “A Very Tight Place” It is the last of 13 short stories in the book “Just After Sunset”.
-
Sure it has a couple of crap moments - the videogame sequence in the forest and the talking shark - and it's rather a shame that the most interesting character from the book was amalgamated with Leo, but so what? The characters are interesting, not least because they DON'T act like perfect human beings. Also the cinematography is fabulous and the soundtrack selection perfect. It is also a rarity in that it has a MUCH better ending than in the print version.<p>Still, endings do seem to a problem in at least two Boyle films. 28 Days, and Sunshine are quite brilliant up until the 3/4 mark when they become utter toss.<p>What happened?

on his journey. The canons are where it's at to fine premium trim. Don't go to bars, Church or classes. It's in the desolate confines of dirt. No water and you can hear them running.

No self-amputating in my story either, but I did get separated from my tour group in a fairly desolate stretch of Mexico in '98. I found a taxi who would take me back to the coast for $50 American dollars. I smiled at him and said,<P> "How about three American dollars?" Because that was all I had on me. One guy wanted to "buy" my camera. I said no thanks, asked around some more, and finally someone told me to walk that way about a mile to the bus depot.<P> Got to do alot of thinking as I walked in shorts and sandals thru the Mexican desert. Figured if I had to walk all the way back to the states, at least it would make for a good story.<P>Found the bus stop, spent $2 on a ticket, caught a bus back to the coast. Chatted up two British chicks who were there on a backpacking holiday. Good times.

left with a cellphone? fuck that, how about left with a stargate! yeah!

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS* <br> <br> Isn't this the moron who went hiking in slot canyons alone and had to amputate his arm off with a pocket knife? This guy came so close to a Darwinism award.
