Boyle to film tale of self-amputee climber
Danny Boyle is to direct a film about a trapped mountaineer who cuts off his own arm.
The director - whose film 'Slumdog Millionaire' won eight Oscars for the uplifting film - will direct '127 Hours', a film based on the true-life ordeal of American mountaineer Aron Ralston who had to cut off his own arm with a penknife after it became trapped beneath a fallen boulder.
