I know I should’ve learned my lesson after Machete (review to come), vis a vis making an awesome, two-minute trailer translate into full-length movie, but… I can’t help it. All the red-band Hobo with a Shotgun trailer does is make me really excited for the movie.  Aside from the heartwarming gore, it looks like they did an amazing job creating an entire B-movie world unto itself.

The story behind this one is that Nova Scotia’s Jason Eisener entered his Hobo with a Shotgun short into a create-your-own-Grindhouse-trailer contest at SXSW and won, earning its inclusion into Grindhouse with the other fake trailers. Eisener started work on the full-length version starring Rutger Hauer a few months ago in Halifax.  Also, and this is neither here nor there, but am I the one who keeps reading the title as “Homo with a Shotgun?”  Maybe that could be the sequel.  “Thittthhh time, it’th perthonal.”   “It’s time to take out the garbage, and do a little redecorating in here.”

Look for the cameo from Robb Wells of the Trailer Park Boys, as everything Canadian is required to contain at least one reference to the Trailer Park Boys. [-via AICN]
