A teaser trailer was released today of James’ 127 Hours. As you can see below, the trailer starts off with Aron Ralston (James’ character) biking in Utah then meeting two girls and having fun with them. Then later on the real plot of the movie starts when Ralston gets stuck in one of the mountains cliffs. Can’t wait for the real trailer to show up!
James’ favourite guy ritual?
Posted by Vanessa on August 16th, 2010
Reading in the toilet! The Huffington Post surveyed guys including James what their favourite guy ritual and James said ‘Reading in the toilet’. Does that really surprise us though? Even in between filming, James can be seen reading a book so why should we be surprised that he likes to read while doing #2?
James Franco: Julia Roberts is `not a bad kisser`
Posted by Vanessa on August 16th, 2010
When it comes to kissing, Julia Roberts is ‘not bad’ according to her Eat Pray Love co-star James Franco.
The 32-year-old jokingly tells USA Today he ‘didn’t mind’ kissing the Pretty Woman actress.
But Glee creator Ryan Murphy – who directed Eat Pray Love – swears the actor only accepted the role because he got to kiss Roberts.
Murphy says: ‘He really wanted to kiss Julia Roberts.
‘He told me that was the reason. I was like: ‘Wait I thought it was my brilliant script’.’
Franco denies that puckering up with Roberts, 42, was his motivation but he does say he had to encourage the actress to dive into their initial love scene.
‘The first day in the first scene shot for the film, I leaned in to kiss her and she said: ‘Oh, I don’t know if we should do that the first day’,’ he says.
‘I said: ‘Well, take it or leave it but I think it is important to the movie and the story’.
‘She said something like: ‘All right, the kid flew all the way from Ireland. We might as well do it’.’
Asked what kissing the Pretty Woman was like, Franco says: ‘Not bad. I didn’t mind.’

British movie fans will get an eyeful of southern Utah in October — Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours,” which was filmed among Utah’s red rocks, will have its European premiere as the closing-night film of the BFI London Film Festival on Oct. 28.
“127 Hours” tells the story of Aron Ralston, the Colorado rock climber and adventurer who got his arm pinned by a boulder in a Utah slot canyon. James Franco plays Ralston in this survival story, which was filmed in southern Utah and on a Salt Lake City soundstage.
The BFI London Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter, was an important stop for Boyle during the launch of his Oscar-winning “Slumdog Millionaire.”
“The London Film Festival played a vital role in the journey of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ in 2008 and it’s great to be bringing new work here and renewing a happy partnership,” Boyle said.
“127 Hours” opens in Britain in January 2011, but U.S. theaters will get it this November.
