HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN Poster & Trailer

This 1970’s, retro-looking poster for Sundance entry HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN has made it debut over on IGN. Directed by Jason Eisener, HOBO is based on a fake trailer created for Robert Rodriguez’s Grindhouse competition. IGN says, “Rutger Hauer plays the title role of a hobo out to clean up a dirty town” and as the poster tells it, he’s DELIVERING JUSTICE ONE SHELL AT A TIME.

Synopsis:

“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.”

HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN will have its world premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Magnet will be releasing the film later this year.
