127 Hours

[Iceaxe]

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

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.

[asdf]

Wow. Hahahahahahhahaah

[Felicia]

Noobs without helmets. Tom will be busy.

[blueeyes]

Hmmm. Looks interesting... still need to read the book.

Well I was and still am a noob before he cut his arm off. And I have already been chewed out by Tom.

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.

yeah what canyon is that?
looks like the crater pool at the homestead in midway

No Kiddin! Where do you find that blue oasis? Looks like I have my next vacation planned. Just Kiddin.
I read the book when it first came out, its will be interesting to see how the movie turns out! Looks corny to me. But hey, dont judge a movie by its trailer!

[jman]

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?

Maybe saralizzy can explain this to me. Heh

[Iceaxe]

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...

Haha, thanks for posting this! I was driving back from the Grand Teton this weekend and my friend and I were talking about Mr Rawlston as an example of how NOT to do it. LOL. Can't wait to send this to him!

the park service must be thrilled

[Sombeech]

That is one cool dude.

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

A couple of shots looked a lot like the exit of the Leprechauns. Did they do any of the filming in North Wash?

Yup. Sorry we didn't "dew" the pool-drop when we were there - wasn't sure you guys were ready for it.

If it wasn't a true story i could see myself really likeing this type of movie. Its like canyoneering but on a sound stage in hollywood. I most likely will go see it just so i can come back on bogley and know what everyone is talking about when the thread pages start passing 20. Its going to be pretty interesting.

What's funny is that most of it was actually shot in a warehouse in Sugarhouse. It really is Utah!

That drop into the pool is real??? I just figured that was hollywood magic to hype the story up.

[EvergreenDean]

Well, we know it looks nothing like this. I see no dead sheep, cow crap or logs...

Oh yeah, best feature of LepraShennanyBlueAlcatraz Canyon, though bringing enough water along to fill up the pool is usually the crux. And we don't wear helmets because you don't want it to catch on the canyon walls as you do the 60 foot drop through a 12" slot.
