Trailer For Walton Goggins' Mockumentary Film JOHN BRONCO About The Greatest Pitchman of All Time
"Steak and potatoes may feed my body, but a Bronco feeds my soul."
Hulu released the first trailer for a funny mockumentary short film titled John Bronco. The 30-minute short film will tell the story of John Bronco, the greatest pitchman who ever lived.
Walton Goggins plays John Bronco and it will tell the astonishing story of the rise, fall, and ultimate redemption of the legendary pitchman for the Ford Bronco. Here’s the synopsis:
Some have said that if you were famous before the internet, you might as well never have existed. Such is the case for John Bronco, the greatest pitchman who ever lived. In 1966, Ford tapped him to race their new prototype SUV at the Baja 500 in Mexico. Not only did he win, but he gave a rousing speech that rallied a nation. Legend has it that Ford named the new car “Bronco” after John, made him the face of their campaign and skyrocketed him to stardom. His commercials were on every channel and his jingle went triple platinum. John launched his own cologne, breakfast cereal, video game, action figure, you name it. He was the very embodiment of the American dream, that is, until it all came crashing down.
Goggins is joined by Tim Meadows, Tim Baltz, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bo Derek, and Dennis Quaid. The project comes from Jake Szymanski, the same filmmaker who previously made HBO's sports spoof comedies Tour de Pharmacy and 7 Days in Hell.
John Bronco will premiere on October 15th.
