Ryan Reynolds’s BURIED Hommage Poster

Check out the clever “homage” poster for BURIED which stars Ryan Reynolds and is directed by Rodrigo Cortés. If this seems familiar to you, it’s because this poster looks like the poster for Alfred Hitcock’s Vertigo. (I have included the original Vertigo poster below for comparison)

Buried Synopsis: Paul Conroy is not ready to die. But when he wakes up 6 feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery, and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time— fighting panic, despair and delirium, Paul has only 90 minutes to be rescued before his worst nightmare comes true.

Buried will be released to theaters on September 24, 2010. Click on the image below to go watch the motion poster on Yahoo Movies. You can also read Sandie’s review from Sundance here.
