Icon announce UK release of ‘Buried’

Paul Conroy is not ready to die. But when he wakes up 6 feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery, and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time. Fighting panic, despair, and delirium, Paul has only 90 minutes to be rescued before his worst nightmare comes true.

Ryan Reynolds latest movie, Buried, was one of the most talked about movies at this years Sundance Film Festival, and sparked a bidding war in the US. Whilst it has been know for some time that Lionsgate would be releasing the film across the States, it was not know if, or when, we’d see the film here in the UK.

Well now we have official word from Icon that they have picked up the UK rights to Buried, which is directed by Rodrigo Cortés, and plan on releasing the film across the country from October 1st 2010.
