After winning a competition in 2007 Jason Eisner’s fake trailer for Hobo With a Shotgun was attached to prints of Grindhouse. Another fake trailer that played as part of the Grindhouse double bill was Machete.
Both Machete and Hobo With a Shotgun are now ‘real’ feature films and today marks the US release of Machete (although it’s not released in the UK until late November). Fittingly the new trailer for Hobo With a Shotgun is playing in some theaters before Machete but not wanting to deprive fans Eisner has also released it online.
There have been quite a few videos released during the production of Hobo With a Shotgun, which stars Rutger Hauer as the titular Hobo, and you can check out our coverage here.
Eisner says the following of the trailer on his site:
This teaser was first created as a sizzle reel for producers and distributors. It was designed to give everyone an idea of what Hobo would look, sound and feel like. It got such a great reaction from everyone that we decided there was no way we should hide this from you guys.
Check out the trailer embedded below. Definitely NSFW.
The title of the video says AICN exclusive but I grabbed this from Jason Eisner’s Youtube Channel.
