'Open Grave' revolves around a man who wakes up in the wilderness, in a pit full of dead bodies, with no memory who must determine if the murderer is one of the strangers who rescued him, or if he himself is the killer. In addition to this casting news Copley has also been signed up to play a villainous role in Spike Lee's 'Old Boy' remake.
