Kevin Smith Asks for ‘Red State’ Money, Mr. Disgusting Loses It

Published

I like Kevin Smith and all, but seriously, this is just f*cking mind-blowing. While out promoting his forthcoming comedy Cop Out the geek cult director went on record about his long-gestured horror flick Red State and how he hopes to get the fans to finance the film. Excuse me? I must be in the “Twilight Zone” because the last time I checked YOU’RE the big time director and we’re the ones who have given you a career. Now you want a hand out? What are you? Toyota? Anyways, read on for this ridiculousness.
Kevin SmithIn an interview with Cinssu Kevin Smith explains that he’s looking to set up a website where fans can donate to the cause.

We’re kind of creating this website. We’re seeing if it works to set up and collect donations. It becomes a weird tax nightmare, though…It sounded like such an easy thing online…but now there’s lots of checks and balances to make sure we can do it, but if that’s the case, I would be into it, and I’ll match it. Whatever you raise on line, like fuck it, you put it up, I’ll put it up.

Wow, so nice of you. Anyone want to donate some money to Bloody Disgusting so we can service you better? I’m seriously out of my mind over this — we buy his comics, his toys, his movies, his freakin’ everything! Whatever.

Pushing beyond my fury, here’s a taste of what kinda film it is:

It’s so fucking vicious and nasty and mean and stark and it’s not funny… It’s this weird fucking dark little seventies horror movie…that nobody wants to make.

Ok, I’m fuming again. So, if nobody wants to make it, then how would me putting in my hard earned cash be a sound investment? I’d rather invest in him cutting that goddamn mullet. Go away.

‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ Adds “Chucky” Actor Teo Briones and More to Lead Cast

The Final Destination franchise is returning to life with Final Destination: Bloodlines. With filming now underway, THR reports that three actors have joined the lead cast, including “Chucky” actor Teo Briones.

Brec Bassinger (“Stargirl”) and Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game) join Teo Briones, who played Junior Wheeler in season two of “Chucky,” as the leads in the sixth installment of the horror franchise.

Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (Freaks) are directing the fresh installment that also includes Richard Harmon (“The 100”, Grave Encounters 2), Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book Of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor) among the cast.

Production is now underway in Vancouver.

What can we expect from the upcoming Final Destination 6? Speaking with Collider, franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick offered up an intriguing (and mysterious) tease last year.

“This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, there’s an amazing setup and then there’s gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.’ There’s an expansion of the universe that – I’m being so careful,” Reddick teased.

Reddick continued, “It kind of unearths a whole deep layer to the story that kind of, yes, makes it really, really interesting.”

Final Destination: Bloodlines is written by Lori Evans Taylor (“Wicked Wicked Games”) and Guy Busick (Scream), with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.

Producers on the new movie for New Line Cinema also include Dianne McGunigle (Cop Car) as well as Final Destination producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor.

This will be the sixth installment in the hit franchise, and the first in over ten years. Each film centers on “Death” hunting down young friends who survive a mass casualty event.

The latest entry is expected in 2025, coinciding with the original film’s 25th anniversary.
