Hobo With A Shotgun

Much like the upcoming ‘Machete’, ‘Hobo with a Shotgun’ was originally a fake trailer which played in between Robert Rodriguez/Tarantino’s ‘Grindhouse’ double bill. The original trailer itself was the winning entry for a Grindhouse trailer competition that Rodriguez was running at SXSW, with the winner getting a spot in the film.

And just like ‘Machete’,’ Hobo with a Shotgun’ is now being remade in to a full length feature. The above picture is the first still to be released from the shoot, showing classic movie psycho Rutger Hauer in the title role of the Hobo, with what looks like a dead chick in a shopping trolley. The production’s official blog www.hobowithashotgun.com has been posting up behind the scenes footage from the shoot in Halifax and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; featuring some scenes from the set and some of Hauer’s gnarly weapons. But to get a good feel for what is coming for you, check out the original ‘Hobo’ trailer below. Death comes quickly for crooked cops, dime store hoods and peado Santa’s!!!
