HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN has wrapped, plus a fun lil bit they shot!
Hey folks, Harry here with one of those projects that AICN really got behind long before HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN was picked by Robert Rodriguez as part of his GRINDHOUSE FAKE TRAILER Sxsw Contest... what feels like AGES ago.
Jason Eisener shot an amazing trailer, and there were other wonderful and amazing trailers in that contest, but it was Jason's that captured the imaginations of folks all over. We Austin geeks instantly embraced Jason and I was proud to share the stage with Rodriguez when he announced Jason's film as the winner. Hell, the trailer even got included on the DVD release. It was that good.
Well now - you know about Rutger Hauer playing the title character, but today - while checking out my FACEBOOK feed, I noticed that Jason had posted a new blog over at his HoboWithAShotgun.Com! So I gleefully clicked to read about the latest adventure on set, just to learn that he's been wrapped on his shoot for 2 weeks!!! Which means, HOLY SHIT! A HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN feature film has actually been shot!!! Not only that, they've been having fun and put together this really cool, "BEHIND THE SCENES" featurette regarding Budget Cuts... any and everyone that has ever shot an Indie will know the pain:
Jason has also done a host of different spots for our other trailer and FANTASTIC FEST bumpers contests. But I just felt that we should all just give Jason a High Five for completing the feature version of the trailer which debuted on YouTube & AICN! Now head over to the website and read the blogs and find out what films helped to inspire the feature we're all clamoring for!

Just shot this photo a while ago, balancing the camera on a knee, while using one arm to hold this heavy as fuck, full length loaded shotgun while trying to take this photo. Why? Well, I was such a fan of the trailer, that when I invited Jason to attend OCTO-BUTT-NUMB-A-THON in 2008 he and a friend who works at the Alamo decided to go in on a present... A real shotgun, a box of shells and a customized stock that says what you see above on one side & "Take this you internet cocksucker!!! From The Hobos & Thomas"
I keep hoping to kill an intruder with it so the film gets publicity, but our ferocious guard dog has kept the house safe... but hopefully one day... after all, this is Texas!

How do we get to see it? Is it getting distribution or will it just do a little festival tour, or maybe DTV?<p> I'd be interested to check it out.
-
How in any universe is this good news? Hobo With A Shotgun??? fer crying out loud....
-
shell money? Hope these fake trailers to movies are better thn the original crap fest flicks. The only fake trailer that should be filmed is Fatties!
-
m_prevette, not many things rhyme with dojo - I gotta support the Hobo.
-
Harry's so ginger he turned the whole photo orange.<p> Bizarre.

real good, Harry <p>I've said it before, I'll say it again. Fuck Texas, Texas sucks.
-
wonder if I could get free shipping
-
So what's next, 4-6 years of post production hell, finding distributor, clashes over final cut, and VERY limited releases?
-
Which DVD has the trailer on? Cause I swear it's not on the Planet Terror DVD, unless I missed it?
-
It will be on the still unreleased Grindhouse boxed set.<P> FAIL HARRY.
-
. . but I hope you never have to confront an intruder in your home. However, it's good to know you're prepared should it ever happen, God forbid. Stay safe and get that shotgun out to the range and familiarize yourself with it if you haven't done so already!

This post was a bit more incoherent than most for me. I suppose I was supposed to click on it already knowing what the hell he was talking about. I can't say I saw anything in it that intrigued me enough to bother to figure it out, though.
-
is gonna kick your asses. You guys just don't know it yet.
-
and this is "a lil fun" man the more money bay makes the more you hate
-
yo, i gotta sweet deal on some used air jordans from 1994. Check out this website. free shipping.
-
If the spammers think AICN's readers care about fashion, they're barking up the wrong tree. Maybe if they were spamming cut-rate Cheetos, sweat pants, and t-shirts with pictures of Chewbacca.
-
of chewbacca wearing sweat pants and eating cheetos.
-
Where he is homeless,holding a bag of cheetos and a shotgun wearing a pair of sweatpants and Air Jordans. Make that shirt and I swear on my life I would buy ten. I'd never wear anything else.

And I'm giving away air!! Free shipping act now and receive free air from Jordan.Buy today and I will include a pair of sweatpants with cheetos in the pockets!! Free Air from Jordan

when it first came out as a game like a decade ago
-
It's got Rutger Hauer and a pretty decent budget for an indie. And did any of you see TREEVENGE? This will be a lot of fun, guaranteed.
-
Nathan Fillion as Ant Man! Eva Longoria as Wasp. . .
-
Sorry to be off-topic, but Jesus, the trailer's been up at Yahoo Movies for two days now. What the hell is wrong with you people? I'd like a talkback thread on that trailer. Am I the only one?
-
I MASH BAD TATER TOTS!! DEAL WID ID!
-
i love how some people are so stupid that they missed it, it was right there and was a top talkback for like a day. If you still insist it wasn't posted then kindly kill yourself because you are a fucking idiot
-
I watched that shitty trailer, and thought...Why hasent AICN posted this yet?
-
... Yeah, remember that one? Maybe they can get Cobra Starship, the fat guy from Fall Out Boy, the tattooed black guy from Gym Class Heroes and that Swedish chick in the white hotpants to do the theme song. Yeah.
-
...Fat Ginger Dude in a Wheelchair with Machine Gun Attachments Who Kills People! Be afraid... very afraid.
-
but this nonsense that it debuted on AICN first? What? Many of us making films for the Grindhouse trailer contest saw this (and the others) before AICN started posting their favorites. Unless I was smoking drugs.
-
really, one of the worst songs ever added to a movie
-
...to claim he spent a semester doing a pro bono mentorship as a visiting film professor at the college where this supposed student film was created and he helped shepherd it through the development process giving "those kids" loads of much-needed advice and encouragement?
-
...is so 2000 and late, but yeah RedBull, that song really sucked and the Swedish chick in hotpants wasn't even that attractive.
-
Some sort of chinese sister site?
-
Dude, Jason Eisener is from Nova Scotia Canada. A far cry from Austin Texas.

The trailer is freakin awesome! Can't wait to see the feature!
by david_boreanez_cunt_hairz
Giggity giggity!!!
-
will be the obvious dtv cash-in
-
Awesome, can't wait to check it out, as a resident of Dartmouth/halifax i'm pretty pumped to check it out
-
What a clusterfuck that movie is going to be.
-
Anybody else quickly glance at the front page and see "HOBBIT WITH A SHOTGUN"?
-
Then drink yourself to death trying to wipe away the image of the life leaving his eyes as he dies in front of you and you realize you were nowhere near prepared to take another man's life. All that machismic chest-beating won't mean shit to you while you're in a PTSD sem-catatonic state.
-
Please use it...on yourself! Take us out of our misery...
-
all fucking fat and hunched over in his wheelchair! Jesus wept. Great idea, keep it loaded and displayed in some myopic place of honor. It's way more likely an intruder will use it on your slumbering man-mountain ass. Yoko could just hide behind your dead bulk like a cowboy taking cover behind a dead steer. That's right, that's Texas, where everyone is retarded and in denial that Texas, even Austin, is a nice place to live.
-
to keep the sun off of hell
-
to make retards feel better about themselves
-
Is this cool news? Nope...this is bollocks...
-
I know the talkbacks are usually filled with vitriol, but cmon! <br><br> The Hobo trailer was great as was Treevenge. Looking forward to seeing the film when it eventually gets a release. <br><br> How anyone could compare this to snakes on a plane is beyond me. That film was clearly meant to be a straight action picture not the ironic B movie it was sold as. It was just a piece of shit that people laughed at. Then the marketing department tried to capitalise on that by making out it was deliberate.
-
Guess that gastric band isn't working out, eh Harry? Here's a hint: YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY EAT LESS.
-
Harry knocked that one out of the park eh?
-
This whole post was a waste of time. Why even link that stupid clip? You suck Harry.
-
Hooker with a Chainsaw. Mexican with a switchblade. Scottish with a flamthrower. Maori with an Uzi. Basically it's a paint by numbers horror movie.
-
You know Harry's a liberal, right? He's kidding about the shotgun.<p>But I'll play along. :)If I had a choice, I'd rather watch the life leave an intruder's eyes than the eyes of my loved ones. You don't break into houses in Texas, dude. I can't tell you how many people I know have guns. And these are not cliche rednecks.<p>Seriously, what would you do? Give the intruder your money so you could live with yourself? Give him your wife for 15 minutes? Your daughter? REASON with him? Good luck with that. :)
-
Most people, yes, even criminals, will run when you have a gun pointed at them. Better yet, hold them under gunpoint until the police arrive. You don't have to automatically shoot and kill everyone, and I guarantee you if you do you'll regret it. I don't judge people wanting to defend themselves; I judge people waiting for someone to invade like its Christmas for them: "Hooray! I finally get to kill someone with my precious, precious gun!"
-
that is will be anything other than a complete turd? Hobo with a Shotgun was a parody trailer - anyone thinking that joke is gonna stretch out to feature length is fucking kidding themselves.
-
Hobbit With A Shotgun- now THERE'S a film I'd pay to see! Sam goes on a rampage through the Shire...

my only hesitation about killing an intruder with that shotgun
by HEADGEEK
is... man.... it would totally ruin my projection screen
-
Who thought to name his maimed doll "VIETNAM ANDY." I say again: FUCK YOU, DOUCHEBAG. I prefer "KENT-STATE FAT-ASS."
-
"Gun Control: The notion that a woman dead in the alley, raped and then strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining how the bullet hole got in a would-be rapist's chest."
-
Except I didn't call for gun control. I said automatically killing someone trespassing in your house, even if legal, is morally, at least, disproportionate, and will likely cost you more psychologically in the long run than the immediate blood-lust thrill of murdering another human being. <p>True story: I live in Colorado, home of the famous "make my day" law that allows you to legally murder anyone on your property without your permission. Not long ago, a drunken man mistook a neighbor's house for his own, and had lost his keys. He stumbled in through a window, and was gunned down by the homeowner without a thought. Now, I'm sure the officers all slapped him on the back and told him he did nothing wrong, but if you think he doesn't think about that night he killed some poor moron who stumbled into the wrong house, you believe what you see in movies a little too much. <p>In the real world, it matters when you kill someone, and "over my cold dead body" nonsense like you and Harry have iterated here does no one any favors. Again, enjoy your gun, keep it well. But take the goddamn thing seriously, and think damn hard before you ever use it.
-
I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS MOVIE IS HAPPENING.
-
A normal healthy man has no regrets killing in self defense. Don't be so weak, and don't promote weakness as a virtue.
-
It's all too easy to promote this absurdity with strawmen situations. Yes, if someone is threatening you or your family in your own home, and there is an immediate threat of your or their harm, by all means shoot. But if some punk is jacking your TV and you end all he's ever gonna have (like the Eastwood quote there, cowboys?) shooting him dead is gonna be on your conscience not mine. <p> May you all shoot your senile parents that wandered into your homes after dark. <p> Namaste, couch warriors.
-
>May you all shoot your senile parents that wandered into your homes after dark. <p> It would be their fault, not mine, in a moral sense.
-
But seriously though, why the FUCK are you handling a loaded shotgun inside? It's morons like you that make people hate guns.
-
Jimmay, I live in Texas. I am a retired soldier, and so is my wife. We both have carried weapons for a living. We understand their use and, more importantly, we understand that restraint is a virtue. As a retired soldier with a concealed handgun carry permit, I have never had to draw my weapon. My wife has had to draw down on an attacker once (she makes the foolish mistakes, regularly and repeatedly, of being physically attractive and leaving the house while in possession of a vagina). Upon looking down the barrel of her weapon, said assailant decided that she was NOT, in fact, "A piece of ass to die for" and retreated. See? No drunkenness, no "Wild West" attitude... Just the understanding that a show of force is sometimes required. So, stop whining about some dead drunk and put on some big-girl panties, okay?
-
I literally could not care less about your opinion, conscience or histrionics over the 'tragedy' of one drunk getting offed. Be a slave to your feelings all you want; not my problem. It's just that, as a veteran of 5 separate armed conflicts (whose conscience is sufficiently clear that he sleeps like a baby every night)... I refuse to be lectured to by some pus-nuts, no load dipshit child. Now get the fuck off of my lawn, boy.

With all the political bs that talkbacks devolve into...
by PurityOfEssence
Why hasn't a gun legislation argument started.
-
Why hasn't a gun legislation argument started?
-
Not sure. I think I was responding more to Jimmay's smarmy attitude than his actual politics. I mean, I could TRY to get people riled up on the gun thing... But I'd rather finish my Guinness and cuddle with the wife (who is physically attractive and, did I mention, in tpossession of a vagina). Sorry for the inconvenience...
-
Guinness and arthritis will do that to ya...
-
I'm glad the fact you've served in the military makes you morally exempt from scrutiny. And I'll lecture to whoever I want, thank you. That's the beauty of the internet. <p> For the third time, I've never advocated gun control here, just restraint and lack of brazen bravado in dealing with life and death issues. But something tells me I'll just receive another barrage of "pussy" insults. Why is it tough men like you get so angry when you perceive you, or your beliefs, are being questioned? Glad the service taught you so much discipline. <p> For what its worth, thanks for your service to our country and being a soldier, but being an asshole? I'm afraid that's its own reward isn't it?
-
Hardly. Nor are you; your argument contained a number of gratuitous assertions, which (as anybody who has taken a course in rhetoric knows) can be just as gratuitously dismissed. As for my mention of my time in the service: I was simply establishing I might be qualified to makeg an informed assertion on the subject of the use of force. I insulted you ONLY after you failed to bring a substantive argument to the table and fell back on the whole "all gun people are trigger-pumping morons" stereotype. Well, that plus the fact that you just come off as a total douche. Good night!
-
THAT was interesting.
-
You immediately posted a comment on gun control, something I never said word one about. You made the first assumption towards me, not I towards you. Yeah, I've made logical fallacies here, so have you. If you look carefully, virtually any argument is full of them, the clever ones just know how to get away with them. <p>In summation, I mocked Harry's cavalier assertion he'd like to shoot someone, complete with picture, was attacked by you as being pro-gun control. I called out cavalier attitudes towards life and death, and you rebutted with accusations of smarminess, bringing up your service record to suggest it made you an authority on the deadly use of force in civilian situations, and brought up an example of when your wife pulled a gun in self-defense, but, get this, DIDN'T SHOOT THE GUY! Just as I was suggesting a rational person would do unless they absolutely needed to kill someone to defend themselves. How am I the villain here again?
-
Sorry for that plot cul-de-sac; I personally can't WAIT to see this film. Have always liked Rutger Hauer's work.
-
Just saying that your 'absolutist' and judgmental viewpoint was counter-productive from the outset. I brought up the old saw about gun control to illustrate the other extreme of the argment ("Never" replied to with "Always," if you like). And yes, the fact that the Mrs.didn't have to shoot the guy to make her point was intended to illustrate that there IS such a thing as a middle ground.
-
I totally agree with you that Harry's "can't wait to shoot somebody"attitude is beyond fucked up. So we DEFINITELY agree there.
-
on Harry's part. In my case, projected extrinsic frustration and a keyboard are a pathetic mix. <p>See? I really am a pussy, admitting I'm wrong in an internet debate.
-
I don't think so.

But what the hell is up with the punching sound fx in that youtube clip? Is the guy made out of steel or something?
