A few weeks ago we brought you the trailer for the Adrien Brody-led thriller WRECKED, which focuses on a man who wakes up in a smashed car with no memory of who he is or how he got there. It looks like it’s got the goods to me, and IFC Films must agree, because they’ve just bought the domestic rights to the lost-in-the-wilderness tale.
While it seems like a movie best seen without too great of an idea regarding the full plot, here’s the full synopsis; you can read at your own risk: A Man (Brody) who awakens in a mangled car-wreck at the bottom of a steep cliff. He’s injured, his legs are trapped, and he has no memory of who he is or how he got there. His only company – a crackling radio broadcast of a violent bank robbery gone wrong and a corpse in the back seat with a wallet identifying him as one of the perpetrators. As the man ventures beyond the wreckage, he must rely on his primal instincts, using anything he can find in the surrounding wilderness to increase his chances of survival. Confronted with overwhelming obstacles, both real and imagined, the Man must discover his identity and face the consequences of what that might be.
The Michael Greenspan-directed picture will be distributed through IFC’s Midnight label; it’s scheduled to hit sometime in the spring.
With this, BURIED and Danny Boyle’s upcoming trapped-in-a-canyon tale 127 HOURS, it would appear as though isolated one-man-shows are all the rage.
