Rutger Hauer Is A HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN!

Yes, kids, I've been sitting on this for a while now but with the director and star both talking about it publicly in recent days I suppose the muzzle is off.

Jason Eisener begins production on the feature version of Hobo With A Shotgun on Monday and playing the part of the titular Hobo will be Rutger Hauer.

For those unfamiliar, Hobo began life as a fake trailer created for a Grindhouse competition. It would go on to win the event which got it included in the theatrical prints of the Canadian release of Grindhouse here in Canada while also hitting festivals in the US. Eisener would then go on to direct Sundance-hit short film Treevenge before coming back to his Hobo.  Expect this to be complete in early 2011.

Check out the original Hobo short plus Treevenge below for a taste of what we're getting in to ...

Yea, but can Hauer do a convincing slurred Nova Scotia accent? I'm hoping the actor (who is wildly inconsistent) gives good cheese or manages to get at what Eisener & Cotterill are going for.

"I'm going to sleep in your bloody carcasses to-night!"
