Sundance ’10: Ryan Reynolds Speaks to Us from Inside a Coffin: ‘Buried’ Trailer Debut!
One of the many interesting films playing at this weekend’s Sundance Film Festival is Rodrigo Cortes’ Buried, which stars Ryan Reynolds as 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. All we’ve seen thus far is the one sheet and a few stills (dig on ’em here), now you can watch the official festival trailer and extended clip beyond the break. How does it look to you?
