Cinedigm is Off to the Races With New Comedy HERE COMES RUSTY
July 28 2020 - 10:00AM
They've got the need, the need for greed. When a duplicitous track
owner and less than honorable car salesman make a monumental wager,
they turn their town upside down in pursuit of glory in
HERE COMES RUSTY. The all-star cast is led by
musical icon Col. Bruce Hampton ( Sling Blade ) and legendary
character actor Fred Willard ( Best In Show, Anchorman ), alongside
cult favorite Joey Lauren Adams ( Dazed and Confused ), child star
Paulie Litt (“Hope and Faith”), and guitar prodigy Brandon
Niederauer ( “She’s Gotta Have It”). One of the final projects for
both Willard and Hampton,
HERE COMES RUSTY is sure
to be a winner when it releases this fall.
A track is a terrible thing to waste in HERE COMES
RUSTY . After years of neglect, Dicky St. Jon (Hampton),
the owner of a fledgling dog track, finds himself on the verge of
losing everything he has worked for. In a last-ditch effort to save
his beloved business he makes a winner takes all wager with Mak
Hoffstadt (Willard), the dapperly dishonest owner of a local used
car lot. While St. Jon's crew races to restore the track grounds to
their former glory, the deceitful Hoffstadt looks for a way to
guarantee victory at any cost.
HERE COMES RUSTY was directed by Tyler Russell
( Texas Cotton , Cyst ) and written by Russell, Pierce Wortham, and
William Ross Smith. Produced by William Ross Smith.
“We are excited to share such a fresh and funny film,” said
