Can seeing Ryan Reynolds squirm in a box of worm dirt ever get old?!?
Piggybacking on the minimal, somewhat underwhelming new one-sheet for Rodrigo Cortes’ closed-coffin chiller BURIED is a fresh teaser trailer for the film. But that’s not all we have for you below. No, no…we’ve also got some amended release dates and an official synopsis for the Iraq set thriller. The hell you waiting for…
Penned by Chris Sparling (ATM, MERCY), BURIED looks like this:
Paul Conroy is not ready to die.
But when he wakes up 6 feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery, and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time- fighting panic, despair and delirium, Paul has only 90 minutes to be rescued before his worst nightmare comes true.

Lionsgate is releasing the film in limited theaters starting September 24th, with plans to expand the film wide on October 8th.

Reynold’s better half, Ms. Scarlett Johansson!
