Ryan Reynolds Gets "Buried"


This is a preview for Ryan Reynolds' new flick, set to debut at the Sundance Film Festival which kicks off today. Honestly the most exciting thing about this film (for me) is the hope of seeing Ryan working the red carpet - hopefully with his wife in tow. Where the hell has Scarlett Johansson been lately? And more importantly, when are these two finally gonna give up on this whole veil of privacy schtick and allow themselves to be photographed together for our entertainment? I'm not even talking in that way - just strolling down the street hand in hand would be enough for me at this point. Speaking of points, I was trying to make one. Oh! Ryan and his new movie. Sundance. Possible awards and all that jazz. Details, via First Showing

[A U.S. contractor working in Iraq awakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it's a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap. Buried is directed by Spanish filmmaker Rodrigo Cortés, of the films 15 Days, The Contestant, and Dirt Devil previously. The screenplay was written by first-time writer Chris Sparling. There is a lot of buzz surrounding this film here at Sundance, mainly because everyone wants to know if Ryan Reynolds can actually pull off acting in a coffin the entire movie. I, for one, can't wait to see it! We'll let you know our thoughts after seeing Buried later this weekend.]

I doubt I'll be seeing this movie, given that I have claustrophobia. An entire film essentially centered around claustrophobia, that also throws in elements of international terrorism and possible death sounds like something I can skip. However, please fill me in if you check it out. I'm used to seeing Ryan in comedic roles and I'm curious how he'll pull of this intense plot. One thing I can promise is to be up-to-date on Scarlett and her breasts. Is she hiding out until closer to the premiere Iron Man 2, or will she help her hubby promote? These are the important questions!
