After playing Deadpool in X-Men Origins:Wolverine and then starring opposite Sandra Bullock in romantic comedy The Proposal, Ryan Reynolds will next be seen in something a little darker.According to Variety is going to 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.
The picture will shoot entirely in Spain, which is home to Cortes, best known for directing The Contestant.
Reynolds apparantly took the indie film role to improve his acting range in the movie with a claustrophobic premise, and one in which he holds the screen through most of the picture.
It will be good to see Reynolds in something that is quite different to films he has previously starred in.
