I\u2019m a big fan of Todd Field, who directed In the Bedroom <\/em>and Little Children.<\/em><\/p>\n

And I can\u2019t believe what I just read<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Paramount Vantage has bought its first project of the Guy Stodel era, signing on for the crime drama \u201cBuried,\u201d with Todd Field attached to direct.<\/p>\n

Brad Ingelsby will write the screenplay, which centers on a couple who, in a bid for cash, bury a wealthy man alive only to be caught and then forced to cope with the fallout on their relationship. Alexandra Milchan is on board to produce the picture, which also contains elements of dark comedy.<\/p>\n

The story is based on an article written by Hillel Levin and James Keene. The duo had previously set up an untitled undercover-prison drama at Paramount based on Keene\u2019s life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay. That\u2019s fine so far. But what\u2019s this?<\/div>\n
\n

The William Morris-repped Ingelsby has been busy of late; the scribe, who is already attached to Ridley Scott\u2019s \u201cThe Low Dweller,\u201d signed on last week for Sam Raimi\u2019s \u201cSleeper.\u201d Field is on board to direct the Cormac McCarthy adaptation \u201cBlood Meridian\u201d<\/strong> for Scott Rudin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Field is on board for WHAT?!<\/div>\n
Wow.<\/div>\n
