The marketing materials for Buried have so far been pretty spot on. There was a teaser poster, a very cool Saul Bass inspired poster, a motion poster and so much more which you can find here.
Icon have now released a UK poster for the film which includes the official UK site for the film and pulls together elements from the previous marketing in a new design.
It seems a shame that the black background of the teaser poster has been abandoned in favour of a soil background lit up in a strange way but I’m nit-picking really as the design is pretty nice and at least they didn’t go for a orange/blue design or something equally blockbuster friendly.
In case you need a reminder of the set up:
Open your eyes. You’re in a closed space beneath 2500 pounds of Iraqi soil. You have 90 minutes of oxygen left to breathe. Your only connection to the outside world is a mysterious cell phone with limited reception and battery life. And each second is a second closer to death…
The film is released in the UK on the 1st of October. Click on the poster to make it huge.
