Shout! Studios is giving the action comedy Showdown at the Grand, starring Terrence Howard (Iron Man) and Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables), a theatrical and VOD release on November 10th – and to help you decide whether or not this is a movie you’d want to check out, today we have a clip to share from Showdown at the Grand. You can check it out in the embed above, and it shows Howard’s character watching a movie in which Lundgren takes down some vampires while letting the viewer know that he despises the bloodsuckers.
If you want to pre-order the digital version of the movie on Amazon, you can do so at THIS LINK. It will be available to watch as of November 10th. A Blu-ray and DVD release will follow on December 12th, and copies can be pre-ordered HERE.
Written and directed by Orson Oblowitz, whose previous credits include the crime drama The Queen of Hollywood Blvd, the horror film Trespassers, and the thriller The Five Rules of Success, Showdown at the Grand has the following synopsis: A proud movie theater owner must defend his family business from corporate developers alongside a legendary action star as art imitates life in a showdown for the ages.
Howard and Lundgren are joined in the cast by Amanda Righetti (Friday the 13th 2009), John Savage (The Deer Hunter), Piper Curda (The Wretched), Mike Ferguson (Amityville Uprising), Clemmie Dugdale (About Time), Jose Rosete (Monsters of Man), and Jon Sklaroff (Three Kings).
Coming our way from Christian de Gallegos Films and Benaroya Pictures, Showdown at the Grand (which was originally announced under the title Showdown at the Odessa) was produced by Christian de Gallegos, Michael Benaroya, and Mira Pak Howard, with Matthew Helderman, James Holt, Valeria Lopez, Gregory McLachlan, Hani Selim, Joseph Lanius, Jordan Rudman, and Luke Taylor serving as executive producers.
Shout!’s Jordan Fields provided the following statement: “There is so much to love about this movie, from its endearing cinephile hero and dynamic storytelling to the sheer delight it takes in both adoring and playing off 80s action tropes. The cast is impeccable and Orson’s passion for popcorn flicks infuses every frame. This will be a very good time at the movies.”
