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....

they used many different locations, including the actual location in bluejohn, just seems that much of the trailer is shown in leprechaun, obviously, because it is much easier to get equipment in to.

According to the wikipedia sources, the first 1/2 of the movie will have no dialogue. And they way Boyle directs, I imagine the scenery shots (and editing) in the non-dialogue part will be superb.
Btw, it's nice to see Dan posting a lot again these days!●Canyoneering 'Canyon Conditions' @ www.candition.com

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.
