The Baytown Disco Trailer Starring Billy Bob Thornton

Here’s the first promo trailer for an indie movie called The Baytown Disco, a comedic action flick about three Alabama brothers who end up on the run after trying to do a good deed. Brick, McQueen and Lincoln Oodie are known for operating on the wrong side of the law, but after a damsel in distress (Eva Longoria) requests their services, they decide to help rescue her son from her crooked ex-husband (Billy Bob Thornton). Unfortunately for them, the whole thing quickly goes to hell.
Before you get too critical of the trailer itself, keep in mind that this is just a sales trailer trying to land distribution. If you ask me, the concept seems pretty outlandish and fun, and it even has a hint of The Coen Brothers’ humour in there. First-time director Barry Battles co-wrote the script with Griffin Hood and it landed on the 2009 Black List. While that doesn’t always mean anything, I think it’s worth noting that Michael Rapaport and Zoe Bell are also listed among the cast. What do you think, will this be a “Southern whip-ass extravaganza”? Check out the trailer after the jump and sound off in the comments below.
