Hobo With A Shotgun

For those who remember when Grindhouse came out, Robert Rodriguez held a contest to see who could create the best Grindhouse trailer and Jason Eisner's Hobo With A Shotgun was the winner:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1LlazPgxKrA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1LlazPgxKrA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Well, now it's being made into a full-length feature with Rutger Hauer as the hobo!

anyway, just a taste of brand new footage on the official site.

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7k8H20SBRFA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7k8H20SBRFA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

Interesting. They went from a 70s grindhouse feel to more of a mid-80s low budget action movie feel. It now reminds me of a Cannon Films release.

So instead of looking like Death Wish, it now looks like Death Wish 3?

Indeed. Not sure which I prefer, but I am intrigued.

I'm amazed it looks so good and by that I mean what's on the visual palette used. Dunno about the content but...I'm game for it.

Re: Hobo With A Shotgun

Maybe. I loved the trailer, but would love to see the original guy in the film. The director seems to have talent, but I was less crazy about Treevenge, so we'll see.

Apparently David Brunt (the original hobo) is going to be a cop in this one. I would have liked to see him as the hobo, but Rutger Hauer is an awesome choice as well.

Damn...I didn't even notice Hauer was the hobo. Badass.

Re: Hobo With A Shotgun

I'm worried this film is going to kick off a wave of class violence across America.

Re: Hobo With A Shotgun

Does Rutger Hauer ever decide to phone in a performance? He looks like he's worth the price of admission, even if the movie is just so-so.

every performance by him is phoned in...the great part is that he's always at the top of his game so the phoned in ones? They're still fucking badass.

Lance Henriksen would've been badasser, but Hauer will do. At least they kept the child-molesting Santa Claus.
