Kate Mara is in negotiations to join Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours” at Fox Searchlight Pictures says The Hollywood Reporter.
The story follows Aron Ralston (James Franco), a mountaineer who spent five days with his right forearm pinned under a boulder during a climb in Utah in May 2003 and had to use a dull knife to amputate the limb before scaling a wall and seeking rescue.
Mara will play a hiker he meets before the accident. Amber Tamblyn also stars.
