The Talent: Danny Boyle (director), James Franco.
The Pitch: Based on the true-life tale (TFT) of adrenaline junkie Aron Ralston, whose solo canyoneering adventure ended in disaster when a falling boulder pinned his arm to the cliff face with no hope of rescue.
The Hook: Now, an Oscar-winning A-lister, Boyle confounds expectations by following up the restless motion of Slumdog Millionaire with a film about a man standing still for five days. But this most kinetic of directors has plenty up his sleeve, including a tour-de-force from Franco.
Defining Feature: The literally nerve-shredding climax, which has reportedly seen U.S. audiences go weak at the knees.

Seriously, The Green Lantern is in TF's "The 49 Films That Will Define 2011"?? Wasn't it only last week when the rubbish trailer came out even TF said it looked bad?

How do you make the TFT the initialism of True Life Tale? Wouldn't it be TLT?
