The Collider just released some new images of two highly anticipated films screening at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The first set of images is for Jason Eisener’s Hobo With A Shotgun. We’ve reported on the film in the past and the trailer for the movie made our top 10 trailers of 2010. You can watch it here.
Hobo With A Shotgun tells the story of a vigilante homeless man who pulls into a new city and finds himself trapped in urban chaos, a city where crime rules and where the city’s crime boss reigns. Seeing an urban landscape filled with armed robbers, corrupt cops, abused prostitutes and even a pedophile Santa, the Hobo goes about bringing justice to the city the best way he knows how – with a 20-gauge shotgun. Mayhem ensues when he tries to make things better for the future generation. Street justice will indeed prevail.
