Four Awesome New Posters For‘Horrible Bosses’ | /Film

The summer of 2011 is looking pretty solid when it comes to comedies.Bridesmaidsis already something of a hit, we knowThe Hangover Part IIis going to be a monster and with the recent releases of trailers for films like30 Minutes Or Less, Friends With Benefits, Crazy Stupid Love, Bad Teacher, The Change UpandHorrible Bosses, maybe this summer will be remembered less for its loud explosions and leotards and more for its laughs.

Out of all of those films, though, arguably the one with the most pre-release buzz isHorrible Bosses. The trailer wasan almost universal hitand people who’ve seen test screenings of the film say it lives up to the hype. Now, with the release of these eye-catching and clever posters, even more people are going to start getting excited about the film which starsJason Bateman, Jason SudeikisandCharlie Dayas three friends who conspire to kill their“horrible bosses” played byJennifer Aniston, Colin FarrellandKevin Spacey. Directed bySeth Gordon(The King of Kong), it’ll be released July 8. Check out the posters after the jump.

Thanks toEmpire(with a heads up fromThe Playlist) for these beauties.

What’s really drawing me, and I’m sure others, to this movie is not the simple, universal feeling of disliking an authority figure or hating your job.Office Spacedid that. It’s that the film, which was co-written byJonathan GoldsteinandJohn Francis Daley(yes, the star ofBonesandFreaks and Geeks), looks like it goes really dark. Getting revenge or playing a joke on a boss is one thing. HiringJamie Foxxto help you conspire to kill them, and making it funny, is a whole other thing. The one thing that’s not completely selling me onHorrible Bossesis that, for a film with such dark potential, the three stars– Bateman, Day and Sudeikis– are almost too sweet and likable.

Are you anticipating this film in anyway? And do these posters do anything for you?
