Reinvention isn't just the name of the game at the major studios, as it seems indie filmmakers are taking a page from the reboot book. Brothers Adam and Aaron Nee have decided to riff on Mark Twain in the upcoming "Band Of Robbers," which turns the tales of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer on their head, to some good results.
Kyle Gallner, Adam Nee, Matthew Gray Gubler, Hannibal Buress, Eric Christian Olsen, Stephen Lang, and Melissa Benoist make up the impressive ensemble in the movie which follows Huck, recently sprung from prison, who is recruited by Tom and his ramshackle gang to track down a bounty of treasure, kicking off a goofy adventure. It's a movie that won us over at the L.A. Film Festival, with our critic calling it "an absurdist crime comedy with a wicked streak."
"Band Of Robbers" opens in limited release and VOD on January 15, 2016.
