Ryan Reynolds to co-star with a coffin

After weeks of high-profile promotion for his current venture, the Sandra Bullock two-hander, ‘The Proposal,’ Ryan Reynolds has now signed on to spend six weeks in a box.

The 32-year old Vancouver-born star of X-Men is said to be eager to put his skills to the test, and has therefore agreed to make a new Indie film simply called, ‘Buried.’ In it, Ryan plays a civilian contractor based in Iraq, who is kidnapped by unknown assailants and rendered unconscious. When he recovers, he finds himself encased in a coffin, with just a cellphone, a candle, a knife…and that’s all.

Oh, and just to make it more fun he’s in uncharted desert.

The movie is Ryan’s first foray into independent productions and will be shot entirely at locations in Spain. No release date has been floated as yet, but production begins in Barcelona next month.
