We’ve seen a lot of great artwork associated with HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, but the latest poster may just be the coolest yet. Check it out below to judge for yourself. It was created by Jeff Procter as part of Alamo Drafthouse/Mondo SXSW poster collection. The film will be screening at SXSW next week.
A train pulls into its final station and a Hobo hops from a freight car. He has dreams of a fresh life in a new city, but finds himself trapped in an urban hell instead. A city where criminals rule the streets, landlords evict single mothers in the middle of the night, and where the city’s crime boss, The Drake, reigns supreme with his sadistic, homeless-killing sons, Slick & Ivan. Through the chaos, the Hobo comes across a shop window displaying a second hand lawn mower and a shotgun, and decides it’s time to cut the grass, make the city beautiful and start a new way of life. But after witnessing the brutality that encompasses this city, he realizes the only way to make a difference in this place is with a gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber.
The movie is directed by Jason Eisener off a script penned by John Davies. Rutger Hauer (THE HITCHER) plays the titular bum, who stars alongside Gregory Smith, Molly Dunsworth, Brian Downey, Nick Bateman, and Jeremy Akerman. If you’re not at SXSW, the flick will be available via video-on-demand services on April 1 and will then play select theaters on May 6.
