A mild-mannered Michael Shannon accidentally sparks a Bigfoot frenzy in the trailer for the light-hearted small-town comedy "Pottersville."

Directed by first-time feature helmer Seth Henrikson, the Joe Dante-esque film stars Shannon (The Shape of Water, Nocturnal Animals) as a general store owner who has inadvertently turned his economically struggling town into a popular tourist attraction for Bigfoot enthusiasts after a local news report confused the sighting of Shannon's character for that of the legendary mythical creature.

The cast also includes Judy Greer as Shannon's co-worker; Tom Lennon as a well-known Bigfoot hunter and Hellboy's Ron Perlman as the local sheriff with additional appearances by Mad Men's Christina Hendricks and American Gods' Ian McShane.

"Pottersville" is currently slated for a November 10th release.

synopsis:
It’s a long cold winter in Pottersville, and struggling store owner Maynard (Michael Shannon) is hit by hard times. During a late-night drunken wander through town, Maynard is mistaken for the legendary Bigfoot, setting off an international media spectacle and attracting a lot of much needed business for the town. When TV’s ‘Monster Hunter’, Brock Masterson, (Tom Lennon) turns up and joins the Sheriff (Ron Perlman) in his hunt for the beast, Maynard must maintain the illusion to protect the rebirth of his beloved town.
