127 Hours Wraps in the Southeast Utah

Academy Award Winning Director Danny Boyle Wraps Production

Moab, UT - 127 HOURS, produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures, Directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire), starring James Franco (Spiderman), has finished production in Southeast Utah.

With over 35 shoot days in the area, and employing over 150 locals, this project had a large economic impact in Moab and Green River. Approximately $14 million went into the local communities, as well as Northern Utah.

“Mr. Boyle was warmly welcomed into our community, and it was wonderful to see the locals hard at work along side him each time I made a set visit. Boyle and the entire crew of 127 Hours showed phenomenal talent and are exactly what locals in the film industry are hoping for when getting hired on with a production.” Tara Penner, Moab to Monument Valley Film Commission Director.

127 Hours is a film based on the real-life events of Aron Ralston, in 2003. Ralston was mountaineering in Blue John Canyon, near Moab, UT, and became trapped by a boulder.

“Working on 127 hours was a great experience for me, I was so close to the camera action that I set "sticks" for Anthony Dod Mantle (Red Camera DP) one day and overheard V (Blue Camera DP) say ‘We are making art’ the next. I really had an awesome time, I love the "crunch time" of the film industry.” Marc Antonnuccio, Transportation and Camera PA

Fox Searchlight Pictures plans to release the film later this year.
