AUSTIN, Texas — Hobo With a Shotgun, the outrageously bloody movie spawned by a gritty Grindhouse trailer, is about to blast its way onto iOS devices in the form of a retro-style game with a unique back story.
The trailer and screenshots above, debuting exclusively on Wired.com, offer a first look at the wicked side-scrolling game coming soon to iPad, iPhone and iPad Touch. It packs plenty of shotgun justice administered by the homeless guy played by Rutger Hauer in director Jason Eisener’s movie.
“You are the grisly hobo with a shotgun,” said Tim League, founder of Austin’s genre-film giant the Alamo Drafthouse, a driving force behind the project. “When you run out of ammo, you just have to bludgeon people with the shotgun.”
It’s all done up in 16-bit, NES-style graphics that give the game a vibrant old-school vibe. But the project could point the way toward future fertile collaborations between indie filmmakers and game developers. The Hobo With a Shotgun game resulted from a partnership between Eisener, indie gamemakers Perfect Dork Studios and Powerhouse Animation Studios, and Mondo, the Alamo’s collectible art boutique. |

They look more like 1990 DOS shareware style graphics to me.

Action games are TERRIBLE on the iPhone. They might work okay on the iPad.

iPud? Why would they call it that? I don't get it.

You know, like the idiom for masturbation "pulling your pud."

That looks suspiciously like Fulton from the Mighty Ducks film franchise.
