“Stay away from my friends, my theater, and my neighborhood.” Shout has debuted the official trailer for an indie action comedy titled Showdown at the Grand, from filmmaker Orson Oblowitz. This trailer has been out for a few weeks, but we’re just catching up with it – looks like some harmless fun. It’s an 80s action movie homage with a big battle at a vintage cinema. A proud movie theater owner honors action star turned recluse “Claude Luc Hallyday” with a retrospective of his illustrious career but when real estate developers show up to ruin the party, the two new friends must fight off corporate greed in the name of art. Showdown stars Terrence Howard, John Savage, Amanda Righetti, Piper Curda, and Swedish badass Dolph Lundgren as Claude Luc Hallyday. Looks like an entertaining tribute to movies they don’t make anymore, and the way theaters used to be. Though it’s also fairly cheesy & cliche, but perhaps that’s part of the charm.
Here’s the official trailer (+ two posters) for Orson Oblowitz’s Showdown at the Grand, from YouTube:
Proud movie theater owner George Fuller (Terrence Howard) is gearing up for a retrospective featuring fictional action star Claude Luc Hallyday (Dolph Lundgren). But when his beloved cinema, the “Warner Grand”, suddenly comes under attack by hatchet-wielding ninjas sent by a ruthless corporate developer, the two men take the action off the screen and into the theater. Showdown at the Grand is both written and directed by indie cinematographer / filmmaker Orson Oblowitz, director of the indie films The Queen of Hollywood Blvd, Trespassers, and The Five Rules of Success previously. Produced by Christian de Gallegos and Mira Pak Howard. Shout Studios will debut Oblowitz’s Showdown at the Grand in select US theaters + on VOD starting on November 10th, 2023 coming soon this fall. Look good? Anyone want to watch this?
