And Speaking Of...

.

... the things I've been speaking of this week, including just a minute ago, here is some interesting news. In my "Five Frames From ?" series this week I did posts on both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. Little did I know that this would be a thing! Via Slash:

"Danny Boyle is about to embark on the filming of 127 Hours, the story of mountain climber Aron Ralston, who was forced to amputate his own arm with a penknife after being pinned under a boulder. There have been a lot of questions about how the film would play, as most of the story involves Ralston (played by James Franco) trapped and alone. There’s no chance for Franco to interact with other characters, or even to move, during much of the story. How does this become a movie that can hold the interest of an audience?

One idea Boyle has is to use two cinematographers. And they’re both from a film series that Boyle started.

Empire talked to Danny Boyle, who said:

We’ve got this idea that because there are so few characters in it, we’ll use two cinematographers: Anthony Dod Mantle, who did 28 Days Later, and Enrique Chediak, who did 28 Weeks Later. One is from Northern Europe and the other is South American. They’ll bring different things to it. Like in a conventional film you’d have a comic character and a villain."

.

He obviously got this idea from me, and I expect at the very least a producing credit on this film. If that doesn't work, James Franco will probably need a fluffer of some sort, at least for personal use, and I am available for that as well. I'm waiting, Danny!
