Hobo With a Shotgun is heading to theatres!

Magnet Releasing recently picked up the U.S. distribution rights to the genre flick. They plan for a 2011 release.

In Shotgun, genre favorite Rutger Hauer (The Hitcher, Blade Runner) stars as a homeless vigilante ready to raise some hell. The film will have its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January as part of its Midnight section.

The new teaser trailer for Gareth Edwards' low-budget wonder Monsters has just premiered at Apple.com, and it's definitely worth a look, so peep it below. Monsters, in case you're unfamiliar, was shot by newbie director Edwards for peanuts; the sci-fi movie utilized a two-man crew and a store-bought digital camera, while boasting realistic yet homemade special effects. Apparently, it cost somewhere in the neighborhood of under $10,000 to make. (And if you're thinking it's just another Paranormal Activity, check out the trailer to find out you're way off.) The flick, which has understandably drawn comparisons to District 9 (in terms of story), premiered to rave reviews at this year's South By Southwest Film Festival and has steadily gathered excited buzz ever since.

Cillian Murphy - of the deservedly popular Inception - will star in British thriller The Retreat alongside Thandie Newton. The project comes from first-time writer/director Carl Tibbetts, who has little notable film experience outside of a few editing credits. Nevertheless, Tibbetts vision must be outstanding as he successfully managed to entice 3 very popular UK actors to lead the film.
