Rutger Hauer Gives Good Monologue in the HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN Trailer!

Feeling like Spring 2007 today folks?  That is because Robert Rodriguez's Machete is dropping into wide release, and it was of course one of the 'faux grindhouse trailers' made to accompany Deathproof and Planet Terror in the (tragically) unsuccessful Grindhouse opus that debuted in early April 3 years ago.  Those of you, particularly the Canadians, should remember that there was a contest for indie filmmakers to create their own fake trailers and easily the best of these was Jason Eisener's Hobo with A Shotgun, which Alliance handily played with Grindhouse during its Canadian run.  Much like Rodriguez did with Machete, Eisener took the concept and made a feature film.  Replacing David Brunt with Rutger Hauer some Dario Argento inspired cinematography from Karim Hussain, the trailer just popped up online courtesy of AICN and it is a doozy.  Behold the wonders of a broken-down and grizzly Hauer giving pithy yet ironic life lessons before handing the underworld its ass.

I am almost wishing that GRINDHOUSE II was released with Machete and Hobo on the new double bill, with fake trailers for perhaps a third edition!  While this is not going to ever happen, check out the new Hobo With A Shotgun trailer, or go catch Machete, where supposedly this will be attached to most (if not all) of the prints, not just the Canadian ones this time!
