The first teaser trailer for Buried really captured my interest, it looks likes it going a great little suspense tale.  I am fearful that they only thought as far as the climax and then we are going to get a bullshit ending (any thriller in the last decade or so).  The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to critical and audience acclaim, sparking a multi-studio bidding war. The story follows a private contractor who is kidnapped in Iraq and buried alive. He has 90 minutes of air left until he dies, and has access to only a phone and a lighter.

The entire movie takes place in the coffin, with Ryan Reynolds providing the only on screen performance.  Buried will be released in select theaters on September 24th 2010 and will expand nationwide on October 8th 2010. (more…)

Now that's what I call a sticky situation!

We got the new trailer for Buried and just like the previous teaser for the film, it’s pretty great. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as a man who finds himself waking up in a coffin that’s been buried six feet underground with no idea of who put him there and why. The film has been gaining a lot of buzz ever since it premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.  It should be interesting if they continue on this marketing campaign as it’s pretty well known for those who follow this sort of thing, that the movie really only takes place in the box.  How will people handle that?  Hitchcock would be proud to make his audience sense claustrophobia.  Buried opens in select theaters September 24th and nationwide October 8th.
