I think it’s high time we declared a moratorium on films that are purposefully made to look as shitty and rough as possible. It worked first time around with Rodriguez/Tarantino’s Grindhouse and a few imitators that followed did it well like Hobo with a Shotgun which had the grime without going overboard. As all things [...]
Love it or hate it, it seems the grindhouse inspired aesthetic of sleaze and violence is here to stay. The latest straight to DVD title to take up this tradition of imitation exploitation is the brilliantly named director Barry Battles and his southern set action flick The Baytown Outlaws. The plot concerns the Oodie Brothers; McQueen, [...]
Quentino Tarantino recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of his immense directorial debut, Reservoir Dogs. Tying in nicely with that anniversary is Tarantino XX, a new eight-film Blu-ray collection that hits shelves in the UK today. The box set includes all seven of the films Tarantino has directed to date (not counting the [...]
With Ridley Scott’s Prometheus looming on the horizon HeyUGuys are reprinting their 2010 look back at the entire Alien series. One a day until Prometheus finally enters cinemas around the world and we all find out if it’s been worth the wait. Here’s Em Breen to take you all the way back. The time has [...]
Craig Skinner is our man at Film4′s Frightfest and he brings us news of Jason Eisener’s new film as Hobo with a Shotgun’s Director of Photography, Karim Hussain, has revealed the title of the director’s next film: Blatant Violence High. Hussain was on stage for a Q&A about the horrothology film The Theater Bizarre and [...]
One-man film studio Robert Rodriguez is currently doing the promo rounds for the forth instalment of his Spy Kids series (really Robert, really?) and had this to say to We Got This Covered about work on his long-awaited sequel to the adaptation of the famed Frank Miller graphic novel series, and the follow-up to his [...]
The Dutch-born Rutger Hauer is a firm favourite with genre fans, and is somewhat of a grandfatherly figure to fantasy film these days, having lent his dark and brooding persona to a number of memorable roles, most notably the replicant with a humanistic side, Roy Batty, in Ridley Scott’s seminal sci-fi, Blade Runner. The 67 [...]
Beginning life as a ‘fake’ trailer, made as part of a competition tied to the release of Grindhouse, Hobo with a Shotgun is now a fully fledged feature film and on July the 15th it finally reaches UK cinemas. “Delivering justice, one shell at a time” in the role of the titular Hobo is Rutger [...]
Hobo with a Shotgun is a feature-length adaptation of the highly successful fake trailer made for Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’ Grindhouse, and stars Rutger Hauer, Pasha Ebrahimi, Robb Wells and Molly Dunsworth. The film centres on a homeless vigilante, Hobo (Hauer), who finds himself trapped in urban chaos. He is surrounded by armed robbers, [...]
Bear in mind this is a red band clip therefore you probably don’t want to watch it if you’re squeamish! I got to see the movie at SXSW and it’s completely messed up but in a very good way. The movie uses insane violence but in a very comedic way keeping the audience entertained throughout. [...]
Something a little special for your Friday right here – a red band trailer for Quentin Dupieux’s Rubber – the world’s first tyre based vengeance flick. Latino Review served this trailer up cold for us and if this is your first experience with Robert (the tyre is called Robert) then you’re in for a treat. [...]
The iTunes page for director Quentin (aka Mr. Oizo) Dupieux’s ‘killer tire’ spoof horror, Rubber, has a couple of posters for the film included within it. We covered the rather fantastic-looking minimal B-movie poster last month, but the other to emerge (see below) deserves equal praise too. It truly captures the look of those 80’s [...]
Nike has been really upping their game in the promo/viral field of late. You may recall that the company recently managed to acquire the talents of cinematic big-hitters Alejandro González Iñárritu and Terry Gilliam to deliver incredible-looking, inventive, big-budget adverts. Now Texas-based DIY action auteur Robert Rodriquez has produced a five minute viral where he [...]
It’s a strange time of life when fake trailers get made into feature length films, yet Machete made good on its Grindhouse origins and Jason Eisener is the man to bring Hobo With a Shotgun violently to life Casting Rutger Hauer as the titular Hobo was a good idea, and this new poster is another [...]
Magnet Releasing have acquired the US distribution rights to Hobo With a Shotgun. Directed by Jason Eisener, Hobo With a Shotgun was originally created as a fake trailer for Grindhouse, but was then expanded into a full-length feature film, much like Robert Rodriguez’ Machete. Hobo With a Shotgun stars Rutger Hauer as a homeless man [...]
Robert Rodriguez regular and ex-Folsom prison inmate Danny Trejo (whose lived-in face looks as leathery as his character’s trademark waistcoat) plays the man with the big blades in Tex Mex revenge flick Machete, the director’s return to the big screen following his failed commercial attempt at recreating the Grindhouse experience for a modern audience, and [...]
Sony Pictures Entertainment and Hyde Park International have released a brand new, previously unseen, UK trailer for Machete. Machete, an expansion of a fake trailer released with Grindhouse in 2007, is co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis. The film stars Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Don Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez and Steven Seagal. After being betrayed by the organization [...]
There aren’t many films involving Rutger Hauer these days, and that’s a shame. Thank God then that he’s heading back to our screens as the titular hero of Hobo with a Shotgun. Tracing its origins to a Grindhouse fake trailer HWAS is the ultraviolent brainchild of Jason Eisner who entered a competition to have his [...]
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 [...]
