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.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
