Rodrigo Cortés is filming a thriller entitled "Buried," and Ryan Reynolds ("The Proposal") literally goes underground as the lead character in the movie. This is definitely nothing for folks with claustrophobia.

Chris Sparling wrote the script, which centers on a civilian contractor (Reynolds) who's kidnapped and awakens in the Iraqi desert in a coffin with only a phone and a lighter at his disposal.

The folks at Twitch have posted the first two stills from the film, and you can check out one above. It looks awesome, and I can only hope Sparling's script is filled with intensity and maybe one or the other twist. This is quite an intriguing premise indeed.

Ryan Reynolds boards 'Buried' thriller

Ryan Reynolds, who's currently onscreen in "The Proposal," is set to star in Rodrigo Cortes' upcoming indie thriller "Buried," according to Variety.

Chris Sparling wrote the script, which centers on a civilian contractor who's kidnapped and awakens in the Iraqi desert with only a phone, a candle and a knife.

Reynolds has been celebrating quite the career boost recently. The "Van Wilder" star delivered some solid performances in decent films, including "The Nines," "Definitely, Maybe" and "Adventureland."

Reynolds also played Wade Wilson in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," and he's already set to play the lead in the upcoming "Deadpool" spinoff.

As a side note, I found Reynolds very refreshing alongside Sandra Bullock in "The Proposal." This guy's got a solid future ahead of him.

Todd Field is in talks to direct Paramount Vantage’s crime drama “Buried,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The trade says Brad Ingelsby will write the project, which centers on a couple who have to deal with a change in their relationship after they commit a crime.

Originally, the story is based on an article written by James Keene and Hillel Levin.

Field’s directorial credits include “In the Bedroom” and “Little Children.” He is also gearing up to helm “Blood Meridian.”

As for Ingelsby, THR says he’s all set to pen “Sleeper” for Sam Raimi while he’s still in talks to write “The Low Dweller” for Ridley Scott.

Final word: We may not know much about the plot at this stage, but with Field on board to direct this thing, get ready for a thought-provoking character study.
