can see him in a very different film, with a very different title.
The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot.

First, I was intrigued by that crazing fing title, the actor tells EW.
I mean, is this for real?
Youre thinking its got to be a schlocky piece of something.
Its totally misrepresented [by the title] in some ways.
I mean, itisabout what the title is.
Its this guy who killed Hitler and then Bigfoot.
But its really this story about this character.
They would have called it shellshocked back in his day, but its really PTSD.
Yet he maintains this personal integrity and is kind of this gentle soul on some level.
The things he speaks of are of value and the things he represents are of value.
Elliott adds that hes very optimistic that that movies going to find its audience.
Its the other side of the coin fromA Star Is Born.
It really is a character study with a lot of pulpy sh thrown in, you know.
But Bob Krzykowski wrote a brilliant script.
The fact that he had John Sayles and Douglas Trumbull, Elliott says.
