It’s hard to believe (and nice to see) that this film got made. The premise: an American truck driver in Iraq gets captured by terrorists who bury him alive and demand $1 million in order to dig him out. The buried man is equipped with only a lighter and a cell phone.
The entire screenplay exists inside this coffin. With one character: Paul Conroy, played by Ryan Reynolds. The indie is directed by Rodrigo Cortes.
It’s set to premiere at Sundance this month, and this new teaser and clip is sure to up the buzz. [Slash Film]
