The Baytown Outlaws Gets Full Trailer, New Poster The Baytown Outlaws could and should be a ton of fun. On paper, it sounds like a Southern-fried Fargo, a double-barreled Grindhouse thriller set below the Mason-Dixon line. Even that first poster embraced its gritty, sleazy potential, turning a traditional Star Wars pose into a Smokey and the Bandit tribute. filed under: Billy Bob Thornton

Consequently, many speculated Parkland would probably steer clear of household names since there wouldn’t be any clear leads. It turns out that’s not the case. filed under: Billy Bob Thornton
Jayne Mansfield's Car International Trailer Showcases Star-studded Cast While the title Jayne Mansfield's Car might lead you to believe the vivacious blonde bombshell who met a tragic and early end is getting an adoring biopic in the vein of My Week With Marilyn, this Billy Bob Thornton-directed drama has little to do with Mansfield, instead focuses on two families brought together in grief. filed under: Billy Bob Thornton
Billy Bob Thornton Says Bad Santa 2 Is Starting Up This Year Bad Santa isn't a movie that needs a sequel. It's completely self-contained, has satisfying endings for all of the characters, and operates perfectly as a singular dark comedy. Sure, Willy is a great characters and it could be interesting to see him on another "adventure," but why risk creating something so awful that it would leave a bad taste... filed under: Billy Bob Thornton

It's about the question of life: 'What is this? Where do I fit in?'" His producer, Rodnyansky, added, "I found the story amazing. It's a pretty new combination of genres to put into one movie. It's based on his personal experiences in many ways." filed under: Billy Bob Thornton
Billy Bob Thornton, Eva Longoria Grace The Baytown Disco Poster Why are we interested in this? And who is Barry Battles? Well, we’re not 100% sure yet, either. The actor whose primary credit is Boys of Summerville has one short on his directing resume (Mr. Extion), but he has cooked up a premise that has us pining for Raising Arizona-levels of Coen Brothers insanity. filed under: Billy Bob Thornton
James Marsden, Thomas Jane and Billy Bob Thornton To Battle A Bear In Red Machine Next week all of you will be able to go to theaters and watch the likes of Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo, Dallas Roberts and Nonso Anozie survive a plane crash and find themselves going head-to-head with a pack of wolves in the Alaskan wilderness that would love to eat all of them for dinner.

Robert Duvall, John Hurt, Kevin Bacon And More Cast In Jane Mansfield's Car Color me excited. Thornton has sadly been labeled as the go-to guy when you need someone to play a foul-mouthed asshole, but his early career shows that he really is capable of a lot more. This is a pretty awesome cast that Thornton has set up, and I can only hope that Duvall and Hurt play patriarchs of their respective families and get to go head-to-head. The potential here is endless. filed under: Billy Bob Thornton

Billy Bob Thornton Officially In Negotiations For Bad Santa 2 We couldn't agree more about Bad Santa being a Christmas perennial, but that still doesn't mean a sequel is necessary.
