#92. Gentlemen Broncos

Director/Writer: Jared Hess
Co-Writer: Jerusha Hess
Producers: John J. Kelly and Mike White
Distributor: Fox Searchlight.

The Gist: A teenager attends a fantasy writers’ convention where he discovers his idea has been stolen by an established novelist.

Fact: The Flight of the Conchords’ Jemaine Clement was a genius in the film that no one saw: Eagle vs Shark. This will be his second coming out party in hopefully better material than Nacho Libre.

Why is it on the list?: Vote for Ronald. Check out the trailer here

Release Date/Status?After making crazy profits with Napoleon Dynamite, you can be sure that Fox Searchlight will give this the proper grassroots campaign.
