First Look: Ryan Reynolds is Buried

August 18, 2009

Ryan Reynolds has fought mutants as Deadpool and battled hormones and Sandra Bullock in The Proposal. For his next gig, Reynolds is stepping outside his comfort zone and into a wooden box buried several feet under the desert.

For director Rodrigo Cortés' Buried, Reynolds plays a US contractor working in Iraq who comes under attack by Iraqi insurgents. He awakens after the ambush buried in a coffin with nothing more than a lighter and a cell phone at his disposal and limited time to escape before suffocating.

Aullidos has offered up the first two images from Buried, the first of which you can view below. Click here to view the second and look for Buried to hit theaters sometime in 2010.
