Get ‘Buried’ on Blu-ray This January…
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be “buried” alive? Well, I can’t say I ever have, but now that I think of it, I don’t think I would like it so much. And I did not have to give much thought to that either. LOL. So this next press release needs no introduction. It’s definitely a film I will buy on Blu-ray Day #1 (see Aaron’s full review here). The claustrophobic tale of Buried stars the Green Lantern‘s Ryan Reynolds as an American contractor in Iraq faced with an impossible situation. He only has 90 minutes to save his life. What will happen? Worry not! Lionsgate is here to relinquish your worries and serve up the suspense on Blu-ray, January 18th. Check out the cover art and full press release below.
Ninety minutes to save his life. Experience the claustrophobic thriller, Buried, as Lionsgate brings the film to Blu-ray Disc Combo Pack (two discs including Blu-ray and DVD), Digital Download and On Demand. An Official Selection and favorite at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, the film garnered critical acclaim across all media. Ryan Reynolds delivers “a tour-de-force performance” (Access Hollywood), as Paul Conroy, an American contractor in Iraq faced with an impossible situation. The Blu-ray Combo Pack contains the special feature “Unearthing Buried,” a “making of” featurette. An unbelievable ride of emotions, Buried is certain to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Paul Conroy (Reynolds) is not ready to die. Beaten and buried in a wooden box by Iraqi insurgents who attacked his civilian convoy, Conroy is left with only a cell phone, a lighter and 90 minutes to save his own life. He has only the voice of his kidnapper to help him piece together clues that could lead an elite team of special agents to his location and time is not on his side. Fighting despair, panic and delirium, Conroy focuses on his only link to the outside world – a cell phone with poor reception and a rapidly draining battery – to keep himself alive for himself and his family back home.
Day 1 blind buy purchase for me.
