The first official images of Billy Bob Thornton and Paul Wesley in THE BAYTOWN DISCO, the upcoming “Southern Whip-Ass Extravaganza” action comedy from director Barry Battles have been released, and WAMG has them for you!

Synopsis:

The rousing rebel spirit of a family of Southern thugs takes off at breakneck speed in THE BAYTOWN DISCO — a wickedly playful, high-velocity action-comedy in which three infamously ruthless Alabama brothers find themselves on the wrong side of crooked cops, relentless Feds, mad mobsters, road pirates, tomahawk-wielding bikers, tricky femme fatales and an unforgettable cast of characters as colorful as they are lethal when they finally try to do a single good deed.

THE BAYTOWN DISCO stars Academy Award® winner Billy Bob Thornton (Bad Santa, Monster’s Ball, Sling Blade), Golden Globe winner Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives, The Sentinel), Thomas Brodie Sangster (Love Actually, Bright Star), Clayne Crawford (Swimfan, A Walk to Remember),  Michael Rapaport (Hitch), Daniel Cudmore (X-Men: The Last Stand, New Moon), Travis Fimmel (The Experiment, The Beast) Andre Braugher (Homicide: Life on the Street, Salt), and Paul Wesley (Vampire Diaries).
