Lots of good trailers to choose from this week, but I really liked this new spot for Buried, starring Ryan Reynolds. Considering it's a thriller about a man being buried alive, there's going to be a limited amount of information they're able to include in the trailer. I like how simple it is, with the stills and the voiceovers; even though we'll hear these exchanges again in the actual film, it shouldn't feel overly familiar. Most of all, I love how the graphic quality of this trailer ties back to the awesome Saul Bass-esque poster. Both are striking and memorable and hopefully, in keeping with tone of the film. I wasn't really interested in Buried when I first heard about it, but the promotion is working for me - I'm expecting a pulse-racing, Hitchcockian thriller now, so I hope I'm not disappointed.
