Ryan Reynolds Buried Alive!

Having been lounging with the laffers the last couple of years (“Just Friends”, “Adventureland”, “The Proposal”) it might be good to see Ryan Reynolds put his funnybone-on-ice for a while.

The actor, who has hidden the smirk for films like “Smokin’ Aces” and “The Amityville Horror”, 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.

Rodrigo Cortes will direct a script by Chris Sparling; production will begin this month in Barcelona.

In addition to the strong of comedies listed above, Reynolds appeared as ‘Deadpool’ in the action blockbuster “X-Men Origins : Wolverine”. He’s expected to reprise that role for a spin-off.
