The new Buried poster will give you Vertigo

A Saul Bass-inspired poster for Sundance hit Buried has debuted on the MTV website, and we kind of love it. Bass famously designed many of Alfred Hitchcock‘s posters and opening title sequences. His iconic style has been used to great effect here.

Rodrigo Cortes’ film features Ryan Reynolds as a U.S. contractor in Iraq who is taken hostage and buried alive in a coffin, armed with only a knife, a torch, and a mobile phone.

You can check the teaser trailer out here.

Buried opens in the U.S. on September 24, 2010 and in Australia October 7, 2010.

Discuss: Will you watch a film in which Ryan Reynolds spends 90 minutes trapped in a box?
