The Man Who Killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot Directed and written by Robert D. Krzykowski, the film stars Sam Elliot as Calvin Barr, a legendary World War II veteran who many years ago assassinated Adolf Hitler – an incredible secret that he’s frustratingly unable to share with the world. One day, just as he’s coming to terms with rounding out his life, Calvin gets a visit from the FBI and Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They need him to take out Bigfoot.

‘Tales From The Hood II’ Moves Closer To Production

Rusty Cundieff’s 1995 Tales From the Hood is finally getting a sequel 20 years after its release. A few months ago Cundieff teased the sequel with a photo he tweeted during location scouting, which he quickly deleted. Cundieff also hinted that we might see the return of the creepy doll from the first film that was featured in the “KKK Comeuppance” segment which featured haunted dolls animated by the souls of slaves. Good Golly. pic.twitter.com/deGdw0m6QA — Rusty Cundieff (@RustyCundieff) March 9, 2018 Following a question from a fan, he revealed that cast was nearly complete. Another tweet was shared on Cundieff’s news feed of a newspaper. If you look closely, you will see that filming will take place in Louisiana and that the film, which still hasn’t officially been announced, has an estimated budget of $3.2 million. EXCITED!!! I hope to work with the GREAT @RustyCundieff on his latest project. #talesfromthehood #nola #film @projectgumbeaux pic.twitter.com/gBnf45uANR — The Don Diva Trell
