Oh man.... you gotta watch this trailer. :lol8:

This is the trailer for the new Aaron Ralston movie.... release date November 5, 2010.

And after watching that trailer I'm expecting the movie to flood the sport with a whole new crop of noobs.

I wonder if Boyle (one of my favorite cinematography directors) will use Blue John and say Utah and not say somewhere in California (like always).

But the scene of him and the girl dropping from the bombbay into the water was pretty cool.

I was looking at imdb on the movie and apparently Boyle says this: "Boyle describes 127 Hours as "very much a British film", and as "an action movie with a guy who can't move".[8]"

Eh?????? I know Boyle is British but what's a "British film" vs. American movie?

That's the same entrance into the blue pool that we always use to enter Bluejohn...... so whats the big deal? Don't tell me the rest of you guys have all be using the wussy entrance?

FYI: The blue pool is how the canyon got its name.... it was discovered by a man named John Johnson...

Timeline:

1.) Movie released
2.) Interest in canyoneering increases
3.) New canyoneers encounter first pothole without chlorinated water and a pool filter (which by the way, when was someone going to tell me about them?)
4.) Interest in canyoneering decreases

I see it as a problem that solves itself. But it would be pretty funny if someone changed the trailer to cut from them dropping into the pool to a photo of one of the "ripe" potholes from Bubbles' recent Imlay trip report :haha:

Looked at "The Canyon" thread. The end scene of that was shot next to the highway in 7-Mile Creek. There is a dryfall there that they shot below. (I know it because that is where I thought my trailer was going to float to when it flooded; was hoping to win America's Funniest Home Video").

I am really hoping the marketing had a different vision than the director. Was just getting use to Ralston being a good guy.

I haven't read the book in a while....where does the "I am a guide" macking on two cuties in the desert fit into his story?

This stupid movie kept me up too late last night. Damned Netflix on demand! I also looked up wolves in GC as it seemed far-fetched. I guess they have been experimenting in reintroduction since 99. That would be really cool to have them back. If this morbid stuff interest you, there is a fantastic book that details all deaths in the canyon. I lost many nights sleep reading this one before my float trip last fall.

The movie "The Canyon" is fun to watch just so you can say "been there, been there, been there" with many of the locations.... I'm guessing that will also be a big part of the appeal to 127 hours, at least for me.... just watching the trailer I noticed myself counting the number of place I've been... I recognized numerous shots from Leprechaun Canyon...

The funny thing to me is the actual location where all this really took place is only a couple miles away.... but they preferred to use Leprechaun Canyon instead..... to me that's just crazy.... kinda like having anther woman stand in for your wife in your wedding photo's....

Sweet..... shades of one of the best racing movies ever made.... LeMans, with Steve McQueen. The film contain no dialogue what-so-ever for the first 35 minute.... and very little dialogue after that. The film was very popular with racing fans for its great camera work and a relatively accurate depiction of auto racing (in other words, it was NOT Days of Thunder). Canyoneers will be extremely lucky if 127 Hours does half as good of job of representing our sport accurately.

Actually, most of this was shot on a stage they built in the old Granite Furniture building in Sugarhouse. They created two different replicas of the slot for the up close and personal stuff they did with Franco. The sets actually looked really convincing once they were lit. Due to all of the snow we had down there last winter they had to dramatically change their schedule as they began shooting in early March. They weren't able to get out on location until late April/early May.

I got approached by a friend of mine in the film commission who knew I do this crazy stuff and he asked me about other locations they could shoot to avoid the snow. I pointed him in the North Wash direction and it looks like they shot quite a bit there with the exception of the 2nd unit stuff. Someone from Moab ultimately ended up guiding them in there. I think it was one of the guys from Desert Highlights but I can't remember for sure.

They also shot with a myriad of cameras. In the canyons they used the SI 2K and Canon 5D. 35mm for everything else. Looks like it could be a cool film. The only thing I have a hard time with is the giant pool of clear blue water. I don't remember it being that clean the last time I dropped into it:lol8:

and they actually used a 5d to shoot some of that? that's wild indeed.

Danny Boyle's '127 Hours' Labeled "Too Intense" After Medics Called to Screenings
By Perri Nemiroff

Back in 2003, Aron Ralston went canyoneering in Blue John Canyon. When a loose boulder wound up tumbling on top of him, crushing his arm, Ralston found himself alone and unable to seek help. After five days, he opted to resort to dramatic measures, cutting off the pinned appendage. Just reading a brief synopsis of Ralston's experience is unsettling enough; imagine seeing the story unfold on screen. Apparently it was too much for some at the Telluride Film Festival because according to indieWIRE, two people required medical attention during screenings of Danny Boyle's film 127 Hours, which is based on Ralston's story.

On Saturday night, one moviegoer was taken out of a screening on a gurney and just a little later, another viewer suffered a panic attack during a subsequent showing. Here's Fox Searchlight's Michelle Hooper's summary of the events:

From what I understand, an older gentleman was light-headed at the first screening (Galaxy) and the medics helped him calm down. Second screening at the Palm was a young woman (maybe 19 or 20) who had a panic attack. Paramedics attended to both people. I didn't even know about the second incident until after the screening was over and someone told me (I was sitting in the first half of the theater).

Without belittling the individuals' circumstances, I'm inclined to believe this is all just one big coincidence. For all we know this older man could have missed a meal prior to his screening and perhaps this young woman is prone to panic attacks. Without knowing the details, it's difficult to blame 127 Hours for the occurrences.

There are tons of instances where viewers suffer health issues while watching particularly intense events unfold on screen. indieWIRE recalls the reaction to Pulp Fiction when it was screened at the 2004 New York Film Festival and vomiting during The Exorcist. There's also the woman who suffered a heart attack during The Passion of the Christ. I'm sure that list can go on and on, especially now that 3D movies are running rampant and are legitimately making people sick, but I'm also inclined to believe that people must pass away or fall ill during movies all the time; we're just hearing about these because of the nature of the material. Yes, THR may call 127 Hours "excruciating to watch," but there are tons of productions out there that garner the same description.

We hope both people are feeling better, but don't let their conditions deter you from catching James Franco's performance as Ralston. According to the early reviews, this is one not to miss. Our own Eugene Novikov cites some weak spots, but says it's "extremely effective as a thriller, and moderately so as a minor character study."

Epiphany of an everyman.
by Lisa Kennedy

People have fainted at the sight of Aron Ralston's famously grisly self-liberation during early screenings of the upcoming biopic "127 Hours."
The first time Ralston saw his onscreen avatar break free from his entrapment was in July with a test audience in a New Jersey theater. Wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down, he had been spirited into the multiplex by Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle.
When the graphic, triumphant scene of Ralston cutting off his own arm arrived, people all around him fell into silence.
"There I am sitting, eating popcorn and munching loudly," Ralston said. "And I'm like crunch, crunch, crunch. I'm thinking, 'Why am I making so much noise?' "
It's just one of the questions Ralston hashes over these days as his public persona moves into a different realm of public lore — from that of folk hero to celluloid icon — the sort of transition that can happen only when your story is perpetually retold by a major Hollywood movie.
It is a few hours before an Aspen Filmfest screening of "127 Hours" and Ralston, 34, sits in the lobby of the mountain town's Jerome Hotel. His left hand covers the gently rounded stump where his right hand once was. But he's a gesturer, and soon both arms take flight as he talks about life lived after a crucible. About the fresh lessons of an old wound. About the trickiness of forging ahead as his 7-year-old tale gets told again and again when he's embarked on a different kind of adventure. Three years ago he got involved with Jessica Trusty. A year ago they married. They live in Boulder with their 8-month-old son, Leo.

Life-changing lessons:

But his story is, as they say, unforgettable. In May 2003, he became famous when he saved his life by amputating his lower arm with a dull utility knife. An avid wilderness adventurer, Ralston, then 27, was making his way alone through Blue John Canyon in Utah's Canyonlands National Park when a boulder slipped, pinning his right hand and wrist to a slot-canyon wall. The title of his best-selling 2004 memoir about the six-day ordeal? "Between a Rock and a Hard Place."
His story exerted a vise grip on the imaginations of millions. Hundreds camped outside the hospital. There were, he recalls, thousands of e-mails and phone calls, some well-wishing, some angling to tell his story. Over time there were appearances on "Late Show With David Letterman," an NBC news documentary and many more stops on the media circuit.
Ralston's 15 minutes of fame should have run out roughly 56,000 hours ago. But "127 Hours" may reignite some resentment over the media attention. Mention his name around town and, even now, the word "reckless" comes up.
Ralston famously did not leave a note about his weekend plans. He had been a wilderness guide and former mountain rescuer. He should have known better.
Ralston understands the sentiment. He's wrestled with what in his makeup led him into the canyon solo.
"I had a major realization in the canyon. Then you go back to living," he says with a brief laugh. "How do I do this and not be so arrogant? I get to address this with my wife and our baby. This is my practice now."
It is also the material he hopes to shape into a second book. "I know where it all comes from. I've done a lot of counseling in my life. And I can look and see I was this ostracized kid who had the esteem beaten out of him by bullies and unfriendly cohorts.
"It's me trying to build my esteem up and in a lot of ways be better than everybody. Because if I'm not better than everybody, then what the kids told me in third and fifth and eighth grade — that I was worthless, that I wasn't good enough to play with them, that I wasn't good enough to hang out with them — is true. Elitism became my salvation."
Boyle thinks the reason Ralston's story remains so gripping is because it is not about the feats — or ego — of a superman but about the epiphany of an everyman. Ralston escaped by realizing he had a human obligation to stay alive.
"His superhuman status is not going to get him out of there. He can't move that rock. His skills have gone, have been used up," says Boyle on the phone. The director of such varied and visceral films as "Slumdog Millionaire," "Trainspotting" and "28 Days Later" will be in Denver on Nov. 6 to receive the Mayor's Career Achievement Award at the 33rd Starz Denver Film Festival.
On Day Five of Ralston's tribulation in a Utah canyon, a young boy arrives. He's a hallucination, a promise, a guide.
"It's only when he sees that child, that he sees he has a part to play amongst people," Boyle says.
"Having a kid is not an achievement like climbing a 14,000-foot peak. It's actually an obligation and a duty. There's a modesty to it. And that to me was always what the story was about. It was a movement back to people."
Sitting in Aspen, the town he had lived in for only six months when the incident happened, Ralston concurs.
"It's one of those cliches that they teach you more than you teach them," he says of son Leo.
"He's teaching me, ironically, about being in the outdoors. I find myself making better decisions than I probably ever have before. He's teaching me, as difficult a lesson as it is, that there is something, someone more important in my life than me."

"Someone else's version of you":

The release of "127 Hours" in theaters next month is likely to cement Ralston's place in American pop culture, in our national tales about the call of the wild and the rough pragmatism survival can demand. It also ensures a fresh cycle of media attention, which Ralston now seems better prepared to weather, Boyle says.
"When I met him in 2006, I'll be honest, I didn't warm to him a lot. I thought, despite what he'd been through, he was the same guy in many ways.
"And, I say this with the knowledge of hindsight, that the media circus, the extraordinary celebrity and opportunity it gave him, delayed his journey. It was only when he met his Jessica that he moved forward. When I met him again in 2009, he was a very different kind of guy, and I warmed to him enormously."
Of course, few people have to reckon with such a peculiar clash of selves: the one re-created for mass consumption and the other lived day to day.
Though there are many more of them this movie season.
Ralston joins Boulder's Penny Chenery in "Secretariat," former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson in the upcoming feature "Fair Game," Betty Anne Waters — a waitress who went to law school to free her imprisoned brother — in "Conviction" and Mark Zuckerberg in the not-s0-flattering "The Social Network," in a parade of real-life people grappling with onscreen incarnations. Or as 84-year-old Chenery says, coming to terms with "someone else's version of you."
In his memoir, Ralston writes that before he cut through the gristle of his forearm, he felt that he was "drawing power from every memory of my life, and all those possibilities for the future those memories represent."
A half an hour before he goes onstage to introduce "127 Hours" to the Aspen audience, to the friends and community that rallied round him, Ralston arrives at the Wheeler Opera House greenroom. In a stroller is a wriggling, watchful Leo.
This is the little boy in the canyon come to life. This is the child Ralston, full of gratitude, says "literally helped save my life."

YES!!! I just got two free screener passes for the movie. Tom was right, I thought it would play Nov. 5th, but it opens here on the 19th. But I just got a pass for the 17th, nice!!

anyone else going? All of the seats are RSVP now on gofobo.com for the screeners. Just email one of the partners asking about a RSVP code. Maybe I'll see one of you guys there (the Broadway theaters).

Hahahaaa.... Now he's a helmet and torrent Nazi. To be honest though, if it was playing at ANY movie theatre within 120 miles of my house, I would pay to see it. My wife an I hit up the movies almost every Tues night and this one has been high on my radar for a long time. But.. If I'm completely honest, I have more than 500gigs worth of free movies on my media server soooo....

@Justin (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=6869) - Actually now that you mention it, there isn't that much I noticed, but they are compressed yeah. Mostly because I like to get stuff in HD. Especially the nature flicks. There is like 43 in the movies folder and 16 in the short films, and 30 in the episodes folder.

Finally saw it last night. The copy was pretty good. The movie was 'ok' but nothing special. I'd heard the arm cutting scene was gruesome but IMO it was nothing. I've seen horror movies with far more gore. The movie does do an outstanding job of conveying his loneliness and desperation. Glad I didn't pay to see it.

When I was 20 years old I went to Vegas for New Years. I got smashed and started taunting large groups of cops patrolling the strip, telling them they can't f*ck with me! I felt invincible because I was just one amongst a half million drunk assholes. Long story short, it turns out they could indeed f*ck with me. This thread is starting to remind me very much of that incident. Don't get me wrong, download away deathcricket, but damn, maybe you shouldn't be so public about the details? Just sayin... :nono:

FWIW: I'm currently averaging 5 or 6 emails a week from gumbies asking about the 'Blue Pool' and how to get there. The questions usually take the form of.... "my family saw the movie 127 Hours, we are visiting Utah this summer and we want to see Bluejohn and the Blue Pool".

I actually just went through and updated my Cheating Death in Bluejohn (http://climb-utah.com/Roost/bluejohn2.htm) story to include the information I keep getting asked about. For those familiar with the story you can just scroll down to the highlighted 127 HOURS. I believe this info will scare away about 90% of the tourists... anther 5% will need to be rescued and the remaining 5% will be good to go.

I liked the addition of the Blue Pool. What attraction is the slog up to most canyons? They had to catch the attention of the general population at the start so they would get to the good part. The pool looked mystical and inviting. The initial drop into showed a bit of his love of adventure. Christian, you probably would have loved it if those girls were lying on the side of the pool naked, basking in that blue light. :lol8: Even with the pool and academy award nominations some think it was just so... so.

It amazes me how many people come so far to see the Wave after it was shown in a movie. There has to be something just as good or far better in their countries but for some reason, that little spot shown in a movie is special to them and they have to come and see it.

I have added directions to the Blue Pool to my Bluejohn map.

"The Blue Pool is 160 miles NNW in Heber City - a long walk."

And of course, now I realize, it is actually in Midway, right?

Yeah that pool is in Midway, a long, long ways from the real canyon. no such thing in Blue John for those of you who watched the flick.

Just think we had 200 people 75 feet above and just yards from where Aron got stuck and we had a full course meal catering tent, craft service snacks on location and supplies heli'd in every hour or two, not to mention a paramedic tent. That is a world of difference from when he was there stuck alone. I guarantee our 5 days there were just a tad more comfortable than his

I've been putting it off on purpose. I read the book (well, most of it) and I've met Aron a couple times (once out in the Swell ran across him at the Quandary trail head) and I'd heard about the blue pool and after hearing Aron tell the story I just wasn't interested in the Hollywood version. I gave in an watched it tonight and damn, I really liked it. Makes me want to find that pool... :haha:
