Ryan Reynolds' "Buried" is a One Man MoviePosted: July 4th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  We recently reported that Ryan Reynolds was set to star in the indie thriller "Buried," about a civilian contractor who is kidnapped in Iraq and awakens buried in a coffin in the desert, armed only with a cell phone, a candle and a knife.
And while we already knew that most of the film's story would focus on Reynolds, we now learn that there is no other actors in the movie.
"It's the only movie I've ever heard of with only one person in it. So it's just me, I'm the only person in the whole movie," Reynolds revealed on an Australian TV show. "It's either going to be the greatest, most experimental cool movie ever made or god knows what."
Rodrigo Cortes will direct a script by Chris Sparling. Production will begin this month in Barcelona.

I don't see how a movie can work with only one person. Even cast-away had more than one person on the parts that weren't on the island.

Since when did doing something STUPID become 'genius'? Genius is where a really smart person works hard for a really good idea.
How, may I fucking ask, is Ryan Reynolds. filmed in a box for ninety minutes, farting, talking to himself and his cell phone, genius? And will Ryan utter a soliloquy on masturbation, reprising his role from Waiting?

who do you say its stupid??? do you already see the movie???? why do you asume is stupid? maybe it will work, maybe not! like reynolds say "It's either going to be the greatest, most EXPERIMENTAL cool movie ever made or god knows what." I only say that wait to see it. In my opinion you need to have some balls as an actor to do a movie like this. good for him. Anyway if this movie fails he still will have scarlett johanson in his bed! jejeje.
P.D. I want a fuck$%# good deadpool movie!

Dude, it's Ryan Reynolds in a BOX for over an hour! I take sides, I bet with the odds, I play films like an insurance salesman uses actuarial tables. And I've got a damned good record of picking movies people grow to hate or don't like to begin with.
Again, Ryan Reynolds, in a box, with a candle kife and cell phone, for some ninety minutes. Just. Think. About. That. Saying it'll suck in some major way is the epitome of a safe bet.

anyway i will wait and see it, if i could saw dogville completly i think i can handle this one.
And by the way i knew about this movie since a month ago, i think reynolds gave an interview to ign talking about this.

They'll have to have inserts (how he got there, what led up to it). I mean... NO JOKE... 90 mins in a box without an outside story... not even close to Farrell's 'Phone Booth' I like Reynolds (Ari above says it best), but there's more here than meets the eye.

Why does anyone assume he's going to remain in the box throughout the movie? I hope the writers have more imagination than that..

Without other actors, watching Reynolds having no one to play off of is my idea of torture. Hollywood waterboarding. In the box, in the desert, on the john, regardless, Ryan confirms, if you can trust him, that the film is a Reynolds acting monologue.
How is that a good thing? And I like the guy. It's really not even him that worries me. When he has range and room, he can impress. Smokin Aces is an example. But there's no room for him here, no pun intended. His jokey hokey method is out, so I have to have faith he can carry over what I saw from the ending of Amoking Aces into a ninety minute film. Alone. No other actors. It's like Amityville, but in a box and without any other actors.
Common sense alone should tell you to remain skeptical.

After a little googling, I stand corrected. Apparently he does remain in the box... And now I'm going to read the script.

No candle, and Sparling doesn't know how to write a script another director can use properly, but he chose his subject matter well.
Simply because it's a movie about being buried alive in a box, a timeless terror, the script is very claustrophobic. Very loose and unprofessional structure.
Graves once had the option of icluding a ground level bell with a wire or rope connection to the grave because people were very very afraid of getting buried alive, medical science not being what it is now. If you got burind alive, you'd ring the bell and hopefull someone would hear and come help.
Claustrophobia is the most common phobia anyway, so by choosing this subject matter, he can immediately affect a max number of viewers.

hey bro, I can't download the script. You mind given me a summary. Sorry, but I'm about as patient as a slutty gold-digger named Roxanne at a Billionaires convention

I didn't think the script was THAT bad.. there was some consistency issues with the candle, and it got topical rather abruptly (not necessarily a bad thing that it got topical - but it got topical abruptly) but.. eh.
As far as professionalism - I can see your point but I don't see how it would at all hinder a director.

What the fuck is wrong with you? What's the reason for you hating Reynolds?
He is a goddamn great actor and i couldn't understand what the fuck were you complaining about 'cause nothing made sense - Ryan said it right: Either this movie is gonna be terrible or a masterpiece - that's up with the writers and I don't trust scripts that go on the internet
