Michael Shannon is Bigfoot in This Quirky Trailer For The Comedy POTTERSVILLE
If you want to see Michael Shannon do some fun lighthearted Christmas comedy, we've got a trailer for his new film Pottersville that you have to see. This is definitely a different kind of role for Shannon, who mostly plays serious and dramatic characters. The guy is a great actor and it's kinda cool and interesting to see him make a movie like this where he plays a guy who dresses up in a gorilla costume and is mistaken for the legendary Bigfoot.
It may not look like the greatest movie in the world, but it does have an impressive supporting cast that includes Judy Greer, Tom Lennon, Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, and Ian McShane. With a cast like that, I'm excited! Here's the synopsis:
Its a long cold winter in Pottersville, and struggling store owner Maynard (Shannon) is hit by hard times. During a late-night drunken wander through town, Maynard is mistaken for the legendary Bigfoot, setting off an international media spectacle and attracting a lot of much needed business for the town. When TVs Monster Hunter, Brock Masterson, (Lennon) turns up and joins the Sheriff (Perlman) in his hunt for the beast, Maynard must maintain the illusion to protect the rebirth of his beloved town.
Pottersville will be released on November 10th. Watch the trailer and let us know what you think about Shannon taking on a role like this!
