Watch: 'Baytown Disco' Trailer Is Southern Muscle Extravaganza

18 April 2012 2:55 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »

The Baytown Disco — described as a "southern whip-ass extravaganza" — stars Billy Bob Thornton, a team of ass-kicking floozies (hey, they said it, not me), and Eva Longoria. Three outlaws tear up the town, but eventually find themselves the target after getting involved with Longoria's damsel in distress. She's trying to get her son back, but in order to do so, the modern-day bandits have to go through her ex-husband, played by Thornton. He in turn delivers hordes of henchmen (and women!) to do his dirty work, but the good ol' boys are hard to beat. It's a dusty, violent game of cat and mouse until someone is captured. The upcoming comedy also stars Clayne Crawford, Michael Rapaport, Daniel Cudmore, Travis Fimmel, Andre Braugher and Paul Wesley...

Count the Cliches In First Trailer For Billy Bob Thornton’s ‘The Baytown Disco’

18 April 2012 10:34 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

We’re still getting these movies? I sort of thought Smokin’ Aces would be the final trace of that pseudo-Tarantino ’90s crime-action riff, perfectly (relative use of the word) exemplified with The Boondock Saints. But there’s one more: Bary Battles‘ The Baytown Disco, a Southern-set actioner about three hillbilly brothers (Clayne Crawford, Daniel Cudmore, and Travis Fimmel) tasked by a woman (Eva Longoria) to rescue her godson from his criminal father (Billy Bob Thornton).

It’s not that I’d object to Disco if it was well-composed — well, actually, why would I object to anything that is? — it’s just that a new trailer, from Deadline, puts it right in the same company as those aforementioned films. And I hate those aforementioned films. Be it the grainy cinematography, clunky dialogue, bizarrely staged action scenes (I’ll concede that trailer editing could have an effect on this), or the sense »

The Baytown Disco Trailer

18 April 2012 2:38 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The first trailer for Barry Battles's The Baytown Disco has debuted. A release date hasn't been set yet, but you can take a look at the first footage from this comedy starring Billy Bob Thornton and Eva Longoria.

The Baytown Disco Trailer

The rousing rebel spirit of a family of Southern thugs takes off at breakneck speed in The Baytown Disco - a wickedly playful, high-velocity action-comedy in which three infamously ruthless Alabama brothers find themselves on the wrong side of crooked cops, relentless Feds, mad mobsters, road pirates, tomahawk-wielding bikers, tricky femme fatales and an unforgettable cast of characters as colorful as they are lethal when they finally try to do a single good deed.

Academy Award winner Billy Bob Thornton and Golden Globe winner Eva Longoria headline this wildly explosive, yet ultimately moving, tale of honor breaking out among thieves with madcap results. It all starts when »

New Trailer: The Baytown Disco

18 April 2012 2:02 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

I own up to not knowing enough about this upcoming comedy The Baytown Disco. The movie is a Southern-set affair featuring the likes of: Billy Bob Thornton, Eva Longoria, Clayne Crawford, Michael Rapaport, Daniel Cudmore, Travis Fimmel, Andre Braugher and Paul Wesley. Directed by by Barry Battles (what a name), the film is described as a ‘whip-ass Southern Extravaganza, and revolves around ‘a trio of ruthless outlaw brothers who fall into helping a damsel in distress.’

I’ve posted the full synopsis below, but what is interesting is this brand new trailer, posted by Deadline, which is our first look at the flick. It’s probably not too safe for work. There is currently no release date set for the UK.

Here’s the trailer, followed by that full synopsis:

First Trailer for The Baytown Disco Starring Billy Bob Thornton and Eva Longoria

17 April 2012 10:31 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

The first trailer has jumped online for Billy Bob Thornton-starrer, The Baytown Disco.  A self-professed "Southern-fried whip-ass extravaganza," The Baytown Disco features a trio of ruthless outlaw brothers who fall into helping a damsel in distress (Eva Longoria).  She hires them to help return her godson (Thomas Brodie Sangster), who has been kidnapped by her nefarious ex-husband, Rob (Thornton).  While I wasn't exactly sold on the synopsis and images alone, the new trailer hits all the right banjo strings (and the femme fatales certainly do not hurt).  Directed by Barry Battles, The Baytown Disco also stars Clayne Crawford, Michael Rapaport, Daniel Cudmore, Travis Fimmel, Andre Braugher and Paul Wesley. Hit the jump for the trailer and official synopsis, and to watch the original short that inspired the feature-length film. Check out the trailer and the synopsis that follows (as well as some of the lovely femme fatales: Serinda Swan, »

Restraint: why an Australian thriller suffered a single-screen, one-week release

11 April 2012 12:12 AM, PDT | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »

Restraint was backed by the government.s screen agency, directed by one of the country.s top Tvc directors, and starred rising talent. Brendan Swift finds out why a $5 million taut-thriller gathered dust for years before a one-week cinema run in 2009. Restraint will be shown on TV this weekend on Channel Nine at 9.30pm on Saturday, April 14. (This article originally appeared in If #121, June 2009.)

It was an auspicious day. On April 2, Restraint had its premiere at inner-Sydney.s Chauvel Cinema . a small dual-screen complex better known for showing small Australian and art-house films. Among the cast and crew were respected director of photography Simon Duggan (I, Robot, Knowing), co-producer Anna Fawcett, and top TV commercials director David Denneen. But Denneen would give no speech that night. It had been almost four years since cameras stopped rolling and the film.s long-delayed release was less a celebration than a Pyrrhic victory. »

Peter Breck

10 February 2012 3:30 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Actor Peter Breck (right, in Shock Corridor), best known for his role as the short-tempered Nick Barkley in the 1960s television series The Big Valley, died Monday, Feb. 6, in Vancouver. Breck, who had been suffering from dementia, was 82. Though mostly a TV actor (Black Saddle, Maverick, The Fall Guy), Breck also appeared in about 20 movies. The most notable among those was probably Samuel Fuller's thriller Shock Corridor (1963), in which he plays a journalist who commits himself to a mental institution in order to solve a murder. Additionally, Breck was featured in Joe Camp's blockbuster Benji (1974), about a stray dog who rescues two kidnapped children. Breck's other features were minor fare. Those included Herbert L. Strock's The Crawling Hand (1963), about the hand of a dead astronaut that spends its time strangling the living, plus Highway 61 (1991), Decoy (1995), Lulu (1996), and Jiminy Glick in Lalawood (2004). Breck is the third The Big Valley »

New Posters for Will Ferrell’s ‘Casa de mi Padre’ & The Southern Whip-Ass Extravanganza ‘Baytown Disco’

1 January 2012 2:21 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Will Ferrell takes on new terrain (namely the Spanish language) in his latest comedy “From the Gringos Who Brought You Anchorman,” Casa de mi Padre, a parody of the Mexican soap opera genre. Ferrell stars alongside Y Tu Mama Tambien‘s Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, with Funny or Die’s Matt Piedmont and Andrew Steele serving as director and writer respectively. While the first poster, which accompanied its teaser, was dull and uninspired, the two latest additions to Casa de mi Padre‘s marketing campaign give a better idea of the film’s inspirations and comedic aims. I particularly like Ferrell’s furious countenance as he dual-fists a gun and lady thigh.

Synopsis:

Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father’s ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial strains, Armando’s younger brother Raul (Diego Luna »
