Now, I did a search on the forums first before posting this, but I didn't pull up any results. So, I figured I'd go ahead and start sharing this.
So, if you haven't heard of this upcoming movie, I'll give you a brief history and explanation. So, let us set the Wayback Machine to 2007.
Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino held a contest that many filmmakers entered into. This contest was meant to promote their double-featured retro-film, Grindhouse (which combined not just their films Planet Terror and Death Proof together, but also was accompanied by many faux "grindhouse" trailers shot by some of the current filmmakers such as Rob Zombie, Eli Roth and Edgar Wright). Though out of all the interesting trailers that came out, including Kill Your Killer, Scourge of the Undead and Bad Kitty just to name a few, it was like what was stated in Highlander: There can be only one. The trailer that won was called Hobo With a Shotgun.
It was exclusively shown with the Canadian release of Grindhouse. And thanks to the Internet, not only did the trailer get many views, it was even parodied. And after many fans of the trailer asked, Jason Eisener said he would consider making the trailer into a feature length film.
Now, after a year and some change, he finally posted some updates letting people know that Hobo with a Shotgun is now in production, even featuring a well-known actor.
I've decided to start this thread in hopes we can talk about the film. If you haven't seen the original trailer or heard anything about it, here are some links for you to check out.
