The James Franco starring, Danny Boyle directed, 127 Hours continues to take more victims. After reports of three people passing out, and a possible seizure, at the Toronto International Film Festival screening last month, another two people fainted last Friday in Pixar’s theater during a screening held by the director of Toy Story 3. The movie chronicles the real-life experience of Aron Ralston, a hiker who was forced to amputate his own arm with a blunt knife after being trapped underneath a boulder.
Word is the amputation scene is simply brutal to get through. But, come on, what better publicity can you get than this? Okay, maybe the people invited to a screening at Pixar by the director of Toy Story 3 don’t have the strongest constitutions, but you have to recognize a pattern when you see it.
After Boyle’s Oscar-winning success with Slumdog Millionaire, everyone has been waiting on pins and needles for his next directorial effort. Now, with these reports, we can safely say that the Oscar hype-train will roll on. I know I can’t wait to avert my eyes from this thing!
