Today's Variety offers a cornucopia of eye-popping advertisements meant to catch the attention of American Film Market buyers looking to find a B-lister-starring, low-budget diamond in the rough (David Boreanaz in Ghost Writer! Patrick Swayze's Jump! Treasure Raiders, with David Carradine! ) they can polish up for audiences hungry for any entertainment product featuring a semi-recognizable Hollywood name.

But not even ads for fading actors' desperation projects leap from the trade paper's pages as memorably as the one for Norwegian import Kill Buljo, featuring a poster (click the image for a larger version) that seems to promise a protagonist who will engage in the kind of goat-raping, sword-slashing adventures that will combine the best of Quentin Tarantino and Sacha Baron Cohen's provocative oeuvres. Get out those checkbooks before some other distributor desperate for post-strike product can rush it into as many as five domestic movie theaters before kicking off a lucrative home video run.
