Tradecraft: Ryan Reynolds Seeks Refuge In Safe House

Deadline reports that the utterly ubiquitous Ryan Reynolds has snagged the highly-coveted lead role in Universal's spy thriller Safe House.  As previously reported, Denzel Washington will play a dangerous prisoner who Reynolds, playing a young CIA agent and the sole survivor of an attack on a supposed safe house, must transport across hostile territory.  Nefarious forces are out to kill them both along the way, presumably forcing them to team up.
