“The Orphanage” producer Rodar y Rodar is teaming with Atresmedia, the film arm of top Spanish broadcaster Atresmedia group, to produce $20 million sci-fi thriller “Mirage,” Rodar’s English-language debut.

Oriol Paulo, (pictured) who helmed Rodar’s early-year hit El cuerpo (“The Body”), has written a second-draft screenplay and is on board to direct.

A typical character-driven psychological thriller, a mix that has won Spanish genre movies admirers and buyers around the world, “Mirage” turns on a mother battling to find her lost son. It is set in parallel worlds of 1980, 2000 and 2014, said Rodar producer Joaquin Padro.

“’Mirage’ is based on a terrifying premise,” Paulo said. “What if one life had to be lost in order to save another?”

A more detailed plot is under wraps.

Movie is set in a middle-class small U.S. town, he added. Rodar aims to shoot exteriors in North America, interiors in Spain, where costs are considerably lower. »

Los Angeles, April 5: Actor Ryan Reynolds says before becoming an actor, he was keen to do something adventurous.

The 26-year-old, who has worked in movies like "Buried", "The Proposal" and "Green Lantern", even made preparations to get into another profession, reports dailystar.co.in.

"When I was a kid, about 15 or 16, I did a year of a survival school in Canada called Trek. You do a year's worth of school in two months and then you spend the remaining 10 months in the wilderness in British Columbia. You live in the Rocky Mountains, on glaciers. You have to set up camps and learn to feed yourself with nothing. It was really. »

Dickerson’s Trapped-without-escape Ordeal Swims More Than Sinks

Utilizing a minimum amount of characters and locations within a trapped in a car, freak mudslide buried alive template, William Dickerson’s debut feature draws inevitable comparisons to the stuck between a rock and a hard place denouements recently pitched in Rodrigo Cortés’ Buried and Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours. Detourhas, literally, more space to play with than its predecessors by presenting auds with a more familiar setting of the automobile, but while the ubiquity of a car enhances the idea of “this could happen to anyone”; such “familiarity” pretends to make this an even more terrifying experience than it really is.

What to do with Ryan Reynolds? The poor guy barely catches a break. Just when it looks as though he could be catapulted into the stratosphere, his films just manage to be moderately successful. Perhaps part of the problem is that directors and studios see him as both the funnyman and the attractive leading man, which often leaves his characters as simply smug individuals. He’s been getting it right sometimes, with serious roles in Buried and Safe House, but what about his attempts at super heroics? After all, he has had three shots at the genre with Hannibal King in Blade Trinity, Wade Wilson in X-men Origins: Wolverine and Hal Jordan in Green Lantern. None of which were met with great acclaim.

But what has Reynolds got to say about returning as Hal Jordan a.k.a. Green Lantern or Wade Wilson a.k.a. Deadpool? In a recent interview with Empire, »

Here's a trailer for a new thriller called Detour about a man that gets buried alive in his car and has to struggle to survive. I would absolutely hate to be buried alive in anything. Especially since I happen to get a little claustrophobic. I think I would just go insane if there was really no way out. This new film is basically Ryan Reynolds' Buried, only it takes place in a car. 

The movie stars Neil Hopkins (Lost, Skyline) and Brea Grant (Heroes, Friday Night Lights). The story follows a man driving home who ends up being buried in a massive mudslide. Here's the full synopsis,

On the road to a high-powered lunch meeting, smooth-talking ad man Jackson Alder is brainstorming his next big pitch when he is blindsided by Mother Nature. Swallowed up by a devastating mudslide, he awakens to darkness. Alone underneath an avalanche of mud, »

Mukunda Michael Dewil’s Vehicle 19 is an action-thriller based in South Africa that takes place entirely within the confines of a vehicle. It is the third project of that ilk – using the one-location setup – from producer Peter Safran, who also backed the 2010 Sundance breakout Buried (read our review) and the largely-ignored Atm.

The story involves Paul Walker as a recently-paroled American inadvertently given the wrong rental car, housing a mysterious woman named Rachel (Naima McLean) with key evidence for a trial concerning police corruption. That means Walker not only have to navigate a place he’s unfamiliar with, but do so while avoiding a fleet of crooked cops (and their cars) in order to deliver Rachel to the prosecution.

You get all that from the above trailer, but there’s little to no indication of the film’s conceit (ie. a ...
