  • Rutger Hauer Cast As Van Helsing In Dario Argento's 'Dracula 3D'

    What a great turn of events if Hobo With a Shotgun proved to be a career resuscitation for Rutger Hauer. Though he has worked steadily for the last few years, his last really high-profile roles were in 2005, in Sin City and Batman Begins. But Hobo With a Shotgun gave him some new life at…

  • 'Hobo With A Shotgun' – Even Crazier Than You Imagined [Sundance Review]

    The whole tongue-in-cheek, gory, B-movie grindhouse thing is so played out these days. How many ways can you film the explosion of the human head or the mutilation of a body part, really?

  • Magent Buys Distribution Rights To 'Hobo With A Shotgun'

  • Movie Trailer: Hobo With A Shotgun

    Add another title to the ever-growing list of meta-films, this one being possibly the most ridiculous of all. It's odd enough that the fake trailer for Machete was made into a movie, but that project had Robert Rodriguez (and a budget) backing it, not to mention it was originally envisioned as a feature-length film prior…

  • Rutger Hauer To Star In Feature-Length Version Of Hobo With A Shotgun

    "I'm gonna sleep in your bloody carcasses tonight!" In 2007 there was a contest at SXSW that invited filmmakers to create their own fake grindhouse-style movie trailers to go along with the promotion for the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez film Grindhouse.
