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

‘Ready or Not’: Radio Silence Filmmakers Tease the “Absolute Banger” of a Sequel That’s Taking Shape
It was first reported a couple weeks ago that Ready or Not 2 is now in development, with Adam Robitel (The Taking of Deborah Logan, Insidious: The Last Key, Escape Room, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions) in talks to direct the sequel to the 2019 box office hit. Additionally, we had learned that Samara Weaving would be returning to star.
Entertainment Weekly caught up with Ready or Not directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin in the wake of those reports, and we’ve now got an update straight from the source.
“It’s getting figured out. That’s what we’ll say: Ready or Not 2 is getting figured out,” Gillett tells EW, confirming last month’s report. “What we can say is that there is a script that is an absolute fucking banger of a sequel. And however it gets made, and in whatever capacity we are helping get it made, we are so excited that it’s happening.”
“I don’t think we knew after making [Ready or Not] that there would be so much story left to tell,” Gillett continues. “We’re so proud of what that first movie is, we’re so proud of what the sequel is. We’re just really excited, and fingers crossed that it gets made.” Bettinelli-Olpin adds, “And with Searchlight and Samara, they’re not gonna let it down.”
The first film introduced a mythology wherein the wealthy Le Domas family has made a deal with the devil, one that requires them to take part in bizarre – and deadly – wedding night traditions. There’s much that can be done with the premise going forward, even if the first movie ended with Weaving’s Grace massacring the family and burning down their estate.
Wikipedia reminds, “The sole survivor of the night, Grace walks out of the burning manor just as the police arrive. Upon asking her what happened, she simply replies: in-laws.”
