Gentlemen Broncos

Jared Hess' third major (written & directed) film Gentlemen Broncos, follows on from the cult success of Napolean Dynamite (Jon Heder) and to a lesser extent Nacho Libre (Jack Black). Gentlemen Broncos stars some well known talent such as Jermaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords), Michael Angarano (The Forbidden Kingdom), Jennifer Coolidge (American Pie) & Sam Rockwell (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford).

Acclaimed author Dr. Ronald Chevalier (Clement) is in need of a new story, which leads to him stealing home schooled teenager Benjamin Purvis' (Angarano) draft novel "Bronco". Following the publishing of Benjamin's story, awkward confrontations between Chevalier & Benjamin ensue as Benjamin tries to reclaim his story. Fox have also created a website for Clement's fictional character; Dr. Ronald Chevalier, this establishes a back story into his character & displays additional videos highlighting the many sides of Chevalier as a lead up to the release of the movie.



The trailer suggests Hess' trademark style, focusing on character-based awkwardness & an off-centre indie soundtrack, featuring Shout Out Louds- The Comeback.

Gentlemen Broncos opens October 30, 2009 (Will it be a major cinema release in Australia? Unlikely)
