Ryan Reynolds Gets Buried

Ryan Reynold‘s is so hot right now, the only thing to do with him is bury him, in director Rodrigo Cortes’ (The Contestant) upcoming film, titled Buried, about a journalist in Iraq who literally gets (you guessed it) buried alive. The film is set to shoot entirely in Spain (once you’re under the ground does it really make a difference where you’re shooting), which is home to Cortes.

Check out what the film is about according to Variety below…

Reynolds will star in Buried, playing a civilian contractor who’s kidnapped in Iraq and awakens buried in a coffin in the desert, armed only with a cell phone, a candle and a knife.

My question is, how much of this film is him buried under ground? And does he get out!? I’m already intrigued. Apparently the actor is taking the indie, dramatic, war-film route after Wolverine and The Proposal, to show us that he can still act (although I thought he was the saving grace in both those films, proving his ability).

He decided to go the indie route as a way to stretch his acting chops in a movie with a claustrophobic premise, and one in which he holds the screen through most of the picture.

Got my attention! I can’t wait to see him trapped in a box, freaking out! If anything, it will be nice to see him vulnerable instead of always being the guy whose wits and/or muscles are impenetrable.

What do you think of the decision?
