I did some deep diving into google on this. Machine Gun Preacher has nothing to do with Hobo With a Shotgun. MGP is directed by Marc Foster (directed Monster's Ball, Stranger than Fiction, Quantum of Solace), and is starring Gerard Butler(starring in 300, Law Abiding Citizen) as Sam Childers and Michelle Monaghan(starring in Eagle Eye) as his wife.

Delving into the background of Sam Childers shows that he was an ex-gang member for the notorious biker gang Hell's Angels. He ends up going to east Africa to help child victims from the atrocities and corruption of the Ugandan and Sudanese governments and the horrors of forced conscription and sexual enslavement by the Lord's Resistance Army whom is at war with the governments.

Sam Childers has his own website where you can read some shockingly real first-person accounts suffered by children who have been saved by his foundation. You can also donate or purchase merchandise where profits are donated to his foundation.

And there is a documentary film and biopic novel of the same name called Another Man's War.

I'm unable to watch the trailer, so could somebody describe to me and give an opinion? Thanks.

Also, as a note to zombie/survival horror fans, Marc Forster is also directing World War Z. I love zombie movies, I loved World War Z and other books by Max Brooks, and I'm really impressed by this guy so I've got high hopes.
