Rudy Pankow & Carrie-Anne Moss in Comedy ‘Accidental Texan’ Trailer

“This acting, this was always your dream?” Roadside Attractions has revealed an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Accidental Texan, made by storyboard artist / filmmaker Mark Lambert Bristol. Obviously enough, this originally premiered at the 2023 Dallas Film Festival last year, with a stop at the Heartland Film Festival in Indiana as well. The film is adapted from a novel called “Chocolate Lizards“, which was the original title for this before they changed it to Accidental Texan. Fresh-faced actor Erwin finds himself stranded in Texas after a film shoot gone wrong, where he’s taken under the wing of a nearly bankrupt oil driller. They set off on a wild Texas adventure to outwit a corrupt oil company to hit pay dirt before Merle’s dreams are foreclosed, partnering with a kind waitress along the way. The ensemble cast features Rudy Pankow as Erwin, Carrie-Anne Moss as Faye, Thomas Haden Church as Merle, and Bruce Dern as Scheermeyer, with AnnaClare Hicks, David DeLao, Selase Botchway, Jake Ryan, Mark Nutter, Brad Leland, and Julio Cesar Cedillo. This looks more kooky and wacky than it does smart and funny. // Continue Reading ›
