Paul Gross faces Culture Shock in Trailer for Canadian Western Comedy GUNLESS

As a Canadian myself, I feel a certain degree of obligation to show some love and support for our fellow filmmakers north of the border because the sad truth of the matter is our film industry is getting their ass handed to them from Hollywood, thus making it harder for them to do what they do and as a result, drives away homegrown talents to the US for better opportunities.  So with that said, I would like to direct your attention to the trailer for Gunless, a western comedy staring Paul Gross who I often refer to as the guy from Due South and the lovely Sienna Guillory. Ironically, this film is the reverse fish out the water scenario to Due South in that Paul is playing an American stranger in a Canadian town.  No doubt there will be some poke jabs taken at the expense of our neighbors from the south.

When notorious American gunslinger, The Montana Kid, staggers into the tiny Canadian hamlet of Barclay's Brush, life for the town's 17 inhabitants is about to get exciting. The Kid immediately gets into an unfortunate altercation with Jack, the town's surly blacksmith, which leads to the The Kid 'calling him out' for some good old frontier justice - a showdown. But in a place totally ill prepared to deal with a classic gun fight and without a single working pistol to be found, adhering to the code of the American Wild West may prove difficult.

Not able to let go of the 'code', The Kid remains stuck in Barclay's Brush, getting drawn into a strange world of eccentric rituals and characters; among them Jane, a smart sassy woman who becomes his only hope of finding a way out... or perhaps his only reason for staying...

The theatrical release date is on April 30th.  You'll find the trailer embedded below.
