Cinedigm is Off to the Races With New Comedy HERE COMES RUSTYLOS ANGELES, July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- They've got the need, the need for greed. When a duplicitous track owner and less than honorable car salesman make a monumental wager, they turn their town upside down in pursuit of glory in HERE COMES RUSTY. The all-star cast is led by musical icon Col. Bruce Hampton ( Sling Blade ) and legendary character actor Fred Willard ( Best In Show, Anchorman ), alongside cult favorite Joey Lauren Adams ( Dazed and Confused ), child star Paulie Litt (“Hope and Faith”), and guitar prodigy Brandon Niederauer ( “She’s Gotta Have It”). One of the final projects for both Willard and Hampton, HERE COMES RUSTY is sure to be a winner when it releases this fall. A track is a terrible thing to waste in HERE COMES RUSTY . After years of neglect, Dicky St. Jon (Hampton), the owner of a fledgling dog track, finds himself on the verge of losing everything he has worked for. In a last-ditch effort to save his beloved business he makes a winner takes all wager with Mak Hoffstadt (Willard), the dapperly dishonest owner of a local used car lot. While St. Jon's crew races to restore the track grounds to their former glory, the deceitful Hofstadt looks for a way to guarantee victory at any cost. HERE COMES RUSTY was directed by Tyler Russell ( Texas Cotton , Cyst ) and written by Russell, Pierce Wortham, and William Ross Smith. Produced by William Ross Smith. “We are excited to share such a fresh and funny film,” said Yolanda Macias, EVP Acquisitions, Digital Sales & Studio Relations at Cinedigm.
