Sundance Reveals 2010 Non-Competition Slate

4 hours ago | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

On Wednesday the Sundance Film Festival unveiled the films competing in late January 2010.  Yesterday they announced the rest of the line-up of independent films vying for attention for industry types and the curious public.

The entire list of 53 films is below, but here are a few that stood out to me from the premieres alone:

Mumblecore directors the Duplass Brothers, have a new, untitled movie starring an unusually high-profile cast compared to their usual improvisational crew.  John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill, and Catherine Keener.  Reilly and Keener are actually in two films at the 2010 festival.

The Company Men, starring Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, Rosemarie DeWitt about corporate downsizing.

Rodrigo Cortes’ Buried, starring Ryan Reynolds as a man buried alive in a coffin.  I’ve read the script and its great.  More on that as soon as I can.

'Iron Man 2' And War Machine Team-Up With 'The Avengers' In This Week's Back-Issue Bin

7 hours ago | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Well, it's Friday at last, Splash Page faithful. This wraps up a very big week on the site — mostly thanks to "Iron Man 2" and its armored duo of War Machine and Iron Man.

Here's how the week's top stories shook out:

10. Jeremy Renner clarified those pesky Hawkeye rumors regarding "Thor" and "The Avengers" in this interview with MTV News.

9. Hmm. Does "Avatar" star Sam Worthington have a secret connection to "The Avengers" he's not telling us?

8. If War Machine ever decides to go solo in Hollywood, here are five rules for making his big-screen spin-off a success!

7. The second "Iron Man 2" poster to debut this week offered a darker look at Tony stark.

6. Did this ad for the "Iron Man 2" toy line give us the first peek at Don Cheadle in the War Machine armor?

5. A bunch of new "Iron Man 2" images arrived online featuring Mickey Rourke, »

Official Poster for Buried

7 hours ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

After announcing that Buried would be shown at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, we get a look at the new poster (via /Film).  Buried stars Ryan Reynolds, and well, that’s it.  Reynolds plays a civilian contractor who is working in Iraq and wakes up to find himself buried in a coffin with nothing but a lighter, cell phone and a knife.  Sounds intriguing doesn’t it.

We originally heard about this film over the summer but haven’t heard to much since then.  I like the look of the poster even if it does leave me a little breathless.  I’m sure this film will induce a state of claustrophobia in several people, but I’m interested none the less.  It will also be interesting to see if Ryan Reynolds can hold a film together without the help from a supporting cast.  I think he’s talented and will be able to pull it off. »

9 hours ago | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

There has been so much buzz surrounding Ryan Reynolds playing The Green Lantern that we have almost forgotten about his role in the creepy thriller, Buried. The post-apocalyptic genre gurus over at Quiet Earth have debuted the first official poster as well 2 others, from upcoming film directed by, Rodrigo Cortes. Reynolds plays Paul, a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find himself buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone at his disposal, it’s a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap. Directed by Rodrigo Cortes, Buried will be released next year.

Sundance 2010: First Poster For Rodrigo Cortes' Buried

9 hours ago | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

Ryan Reynolds.  Buried alive.  That's the basic premise of Buried, the new feature from Rodrigo Cortes.  There's more to it, sure, and advance buzz is all very strong but, honestly, who doesn't want to see Reynolds undergo a little torment?

Paul is a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it's a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.

With the film soon to premiere in Sundance we've just gotten a look at the poster with the promise of a teaser to follow soon.

New Poster for Buried Starring Ryan Reynolds and for Kick-ass

9 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

With Buried (starring Ryan Reynolds) debuting at the Sundance Film Festival and Kick-Ass bowing in April, there’s not a moment to lose in marketing.  I mean that in all seriousness because I think Buried could be fantastic and I’ve heard that Kick-Ass definitely is.  While the poster for Buried is a little plain (especially when you compare it to the two which didn’t make the cut), the new Kick-Ass poster is apparently the second part of a series, this time focusing on the character Red Mist (played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse).  Hopefully character posters for Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) and Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) won’t be too far behind.

Check out both posters after the jump along with a synopsis for each.

Credit to Quiet Earth for unearthing the Buried poster.  Head over to their site to see the two superior posters that didn’t make the cut. »

New Poster For Buried, Plus Two Rejected Designs

13 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

If you haven't yet heard about Ryan Reynolds' next project, Buried, it's something to look into. If you are aware of it, but don't feel the concept is very interesting, something might be very wrong with your brain. Seriously, seek medical attention. The film centers on a U.S. contractor in Iraq during the on-oing conflict who wakes up to find himself buried underground with nothing more than a lighter and a cell phone. Did I mention that Reynolds is also the only person who shows up on screen, meaning that audiences will be spending two hours underground with him? Something tells me that might be a bit suspenseful. Quiet Earth has just released the newest poster for the film, as well as two designs that didn't quite make the cut. While I like the one that they chose (anyone else getting flashbacks to Kill Bill 2?) I am kind »

Ryan Reynolds Gets Buried in his Work

13 hours ago | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

From the boys over at Quiet Earth, some medium sized posters for Ryan Reynolds’ upcoming Iraq-set thriller “Buried”. In the film, Reynolds plays Paul, a U.S. contractor working in Iraq who, after an attack by a group of Iraqis, wakes up to find himself buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone trapped in the coffin with him, it’s a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap. The film is directed by Rodrigo Cortés, and will be set almost entirely in the coffin with Reynolds, which means if you can’t stand Reynolds’ handsome mug, you’re in for a rough time. »

Buried Movie Poster: Ryan Reynolds Is Not Happy

14 hours ago | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Hot on the heels of Rodrigo Cortes' Buried being chosen for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, a poster has been released for the film (via Quietearth). We first got wind of this film back in summer, when it was revealed that the movie would primarily be a one-man show starring Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds plays a civilian contractor in Iraq who is kidnapped and buried alive in the desert, left with a lighter, a knife, and a cell phone to get himself out. Fans of The Tobolowsky Files will recall that in  episode 3, actor Stephen Tobolowsky revealed that he will play a voice in the film on the other end of a cell phone line (The film was already completed at that point and he was just doing Adr). Despite this, my understanding is still that Reynolds will be the only actor we will see on screen. Will Reynolds be able ... »

Ryan Reynolds in the Buried Poster

17 hours ago | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

A day after the announcement came that Buried , starring Ryan Reynolds, made the cut at Sundance, a poster has arrived. Rodrigo Cortés shot this thriller that falls back on a primal fear: being buried alive. This project was shot in Barcelona, Spain. Written by Chris Sparling, Reynolds plays Paul, a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it's a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap. Sparling recently signed with Gold Circle to pen Mercy . Click on the Quiet Earth link above for two posters designs that didn't get used. They're pretty great. »

Impressive Official Poster for Ryan Reynolds' Thriller Buried

19 hours ago | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

It was just announced yesterday that Rodrigo Cortés' new thriller Buried starring Ryan Reynolds and only Ryan Reynolds would be premiering at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival coming up in January. To go along with that wonderful news is this poster, thanks to our friends at Quiet Earth. They somehow dug up (pun intended) the first official poster for the film along with two other posters that were created as mock-ups but were never used in the end. This is that film that's set entirely in a coffin and it's already one of the films I'm planning to catch at Sundance. I've got a good feeling it'll be a highlight of my fest. Check out these posters!   This looks much more like a sales flyer than an official poster (consider it's horizontal, not a vertical poster) but I still dig it either way. The other two posters beneath that one »

Quentin Tarantino Could Have Directed Green Lantern

20 hours ago | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

In a recent interview with MTV, Quentin Tarantino said that one of the inspirations for his latest film, Inglourious Basterds, was the Marvel Comics series Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos. With that in mind, the similarities between the two become evident, if only on the surface: Both Tarantino's movie and the Marvel comic feature elite soldiers fighting the Nazis behind enemy lines during WWII. Apparently, that's not Tarantino's only connection to comic books and comic book movies.

In a newly released excerpt of the MTV interview, Tarantino admitted to having been "a big comic book fan" in his 20s and said that he could have directed a movie based on a popular DC Comics character.

I was offered the Green Lantern. Not since it's been a script, but just like, "Hey we own the Green Lantern. Would you like it?"

Tarantino said that he has "kind of outgrown" his interest in comic books, »

3 December 2009 3:30 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Yesterday we got the list for the films playing in competition at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and today we get the rest of the films that will be featured and there are quite a few that make 2010 look much stronger based on pedigree alone than I have seen in quite some time. Variety has a big write-up detailing the categories and more on the festival right here, but I am just going to offer up the titles and let you sort it all out.

The titles already in the RopeofSilicon database are linked.

Premieres

All films are from the United States unless otherwise noted Abel (Mexico-u.S.), the directorial debut of actor Diego Luna, written by Luna and Agusto Mendoza, about a peculiar young boy who, as he blurs reality and fantasy, takes over the responsibilities of a family man in his father's absence.

Sundance 2010: Official poster for Buried + 2 stellar designs that didn't make the cut

3 December 2009 3:11 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

Spanish director Rodrigo Cortés takes the one-room thriller to a whole new level with Buried a thriller that takes place entirely in a coffin while star Ryan Reynolds tries desperately to McGuyver his way out with a cell phone and a lighter.

It was just reported that Buried is getting it's premier at this year's Sundance film festival so we thought we'd share three posters for the film. One of this posters is official (the one you see to the right) and the other two are designs that were rejected, perhaps for obvious reasons. Personally I think they are amazing and are obviously aiming to give the thriller a 60s Hitchcock vibe.

Synopsis:

Paul is a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it's »

'The Runaways,' Ryan Reynolds In 'Buried,' Highlight The Final Sundance Annoucements

3 December 2009 3:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Yesterday, the "in competition" titles at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival were announced. As anyone who's ever attended knows, however, that's only half the party. Plenty of films screen there that aren't in competition, and there are some big ones popping up this year. We know this because the finalized list was released just this afternoon.

The big one for many of you readers is undoubtedly "The Runaways." You Twlighters know all about this one, a biopic focusing on the '70s rock band that launched the careers of Lita Ford (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart). It's the world premiere, so I expect this year's festival to see an influx of Twilighter fans who can't get enough of their KStew. Not to mention "New Moon" newcomer Dakota Fanning, who plays Cherie Currie.

There's also the Ryan Reynolds-starring thriller, "Buried," which is part of the fest's always-excellent series of midnight screenings. »
