Worth Watching - Jan 26: Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer Trailer

by Alex Billington
January 26, 2008

I've got to say, this looks awesomely badass. Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer is the name and it debuted at Slamdance, the even more-indie version of Sundance. Unfortunately I didn't have time to catch a screening of it yet, but I've heard from numerous people that I trust that it kicks some serious ass. All you need to know before watching this trailer is the title - Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer. I have a good feeling this is going to be a huge cult hit, but I can't say just yet. Either way, you need to watch this trailer, don't even ask any more questions.

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer was also the first purchase from Slamdance this year. Anchor Bay Entertainment has picked up the film for a mid-six figures deal. They're also promising a theatrical commitment, meaning you'll actually get to see this bad boy in theaters. If you want to read more, check out the official website for the movie - brookstreetpictures.com.

First, this looks awesome. Second, word on the street is that Anchor Bay has picked this up and will pull a Hatchet by releasing it theatrically to a handful of theaters across the U.S. Very nice.

I work at the hotel that produced this film and saw a lot of the filming in action and we hosted all the actors and crew for a few months. A really great, fun loving bunch. I've been following this movie for a while waiting to see it couldn't believe i founda write-up on here!
