// September 20th, 2010 // No Comments » // Trailers, What's Poppin
So I go to check out a screening of ‘Buried’ directed by Rodrigo Cortes, cause I’ve been hearing some buzz about it for a minute. Sundance, this past January was giving it big ups and even a few weeks ago the campaign poster had crazy praises. That’s a good look for a movie cause you want good buzz generating on your project I get it. That’s why I was so looking forward to the screening.
I went to check it out with a couple of friends of mine here in Miami. The West 42 press team is always on point and it’s a fun space to watch a flick.
I’m not going to give away too much about it cause I really want you to go see it.
But this is what I’m going to say to Rodrigo, Dude!! You fucking did an entire movie in a box what you did was amazing!!!
One location yet he kept it interesting. He shot it so intimate and it worked for him. I sat there like a little kid in the movies. Lost in Paul’s (Ryan Reynolds) world with him. I think you guys will enjoy this movie and appreciate Ryan Reynolds work as an actor. The kid is doing good for himself. You’ll also hear some familiar voices in the movie. I got two out of three voices right, cause I’m cool like that.
I say go SEE BURIED this weekend, but…….be careful if you are claustrophobic.
Buried is in select theaters on September 24th!!!
A man is caught in a desperate race against time in this claustrophobic thriller from director Rodrigo Cortés. Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is an American truck driver who has been contracted to work in Iraq, and while delivering a load of kitchen equipment as part of a humanitarian aid program, he’s captured by insurgent guerrillas who intend to hold him hostage. Paul is struck unconscious, put into a coffin-like box, and buried, and when he comes to, all he has to help him get out is a lighter, a cell phone, a pen, and a jackknife. Trapped underground with a limited supply of air, Paul frantically calls his family, his employer, and American military and political representatives, trying to remain calm as his chances of survival slip farther away with each passing minute. Featuring the voice talent of Robert Paterson, Stephen Tobolowsky, Samantha Mathis, and Erik Palladino, with all the action taking place within the underground box, Buried received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
