Official Poster for BURIED Released

It was only recently that I first heard about BURIED, a film starring Ryan Reynolds as a US contractor in Iraq who, after an attack by Iraqies, wakes up to find himself buried alive with nothing at his side but a lighter and a cell phone.   Now, the film has been announced as one of the films to premiere at Park City at Midnight, the genre leg of Sundance 2010.   Today, courtesy of Quiet Earth, we have the film’s official poster, which you can find above.

Also, we have two poster designs for the film that didn’t quite make the cut.

Check these out:

I, personally, have to express my appreciation for the second design above.   It might not be an appropriate poster for the film, but it would certainly look good hanging on my wall.   The first scrapped design above is okay, but it’s too comical.   It is almost as if the designers were going for a Hitchcock feel but failed.   The actual poster is okay, as well, but it makes the film look more like a horror film than anything.

What do you think?   Which poster do you like the most of these three?   Are you excited to spend 90 minutes in a coffin with Ryan Reynolds?   Let us know by throwing us a comment in the section below.

No screen dates or times have been announced for BURIED’s premiere at Park City at Midnight, but I’m sure it will be one of the films we cover while we’re out there.
