Article Excerpt:

After about eight or nine months of rumors about what his next project would be, Oscar-winning Best Director Danny Boyle finally signed up for a bio-pic called 127 Hours. It's the story of mountaineer Aron Ralston, who, after being trapped by a boulder for five days, cut off his own arm to escape.

That news came earlier this week, but Boyle gave an update this weekend, and apparently, the first hour of 127 will be dialogue-free. Slashfilm reports that Boyle will lean on Slumdog Millionaire screenwriter Simon Beaufoy for the script, although that process hasn't begun yet.

The no dialogue thing isn't a brand new concept, although for what's probably a two-hour film, having half of it go with no dialogue might be a bit much. Of course, since there's no script yet, we don't know it'll be an entirely silent hour, but it sounds like we're getting an extended period of quiet time no matter what. Bit of a gimmick, though.
