In 2007, "Grindhouse" was released, which featured two full-length films: "Planet Terror" and "Death Proof". In between the the films, fake trailers were played: "Machete", "Werewolf Women of the SS", "Don't", Thanksgiving" and "Hobo With a Shotgun". First, "Machete" (starring Danny Trejo) was made into a full-length feature film and now, "Hobo With a Shotgun" is getting the same treatment.
The movie directed by Jason Eisener, he also directed the trailer for "Grindhouse", and stars Rutger Hauer ("Sin City" and "Blind Fury"). The synopsis from the film's Facebook page:
"A train pulls into its final station and a Hobo hops from a freight car. He has dreams of a fresh life in a new city, but finds himself trapped in an urban hell instead. A city where criminals rule the streets, landlords evict single mothers in the middle of the night, and where the city's crime boss, The Drake, reigns supreme with his sadistic, homeless-killing sons, Slick & Ivan. Through the chaos, the Hobo comes across a shop window displaying a second hand lawn mower and a shotgun, and decides it's time to cut the grass, make the city beautiful and start a new way of life. But after witnessing the brutality that encompasses this city, he realizes the only way to make a difference in this place is with a gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber. "Eisener announced on the film's website that the world premiere will be at the Sundance Film Festival, which runs from January 20th to the 30th. While there is no official release date after the Sundance premiere, it's expected to be sometime later this year and I can't wait because "Machete" turned out to be a blast to watch and I expect the same with "Hobo With a Shotgun".
Check out the trailers (the first will be the fake trailer from "Grindhouse" and the second will be the real trailer), but note that both trailers feature some language and graphic/violent images:
