Will Kevin Smith's Next Be 'Red State'?

Last October The Weinstein Company passed on Kevin Smith's horror project, Red State, with everything going silent thereafter. Since then, Smith has directed ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO, which just had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Smith was on hand who made a surprising statement. "First, I'm going to do a 180 turn and do a horror movie called Red State," Smith told Sci-Fi Wire. "It's going to be a total horror-political-psychological movie without a funny line in it." After RED STATE, Smith is working on a superhero movie, which he hopes Seth Rogan will star in.

There haven't been many funny lines in any of his movies except Clerks.

Hasn't he been trying to make this for a while? Wasn't it supposed to come out BEFORE "Zack and Mindy?" ...and his best movie was Chasing Amy, Clerks is a close second.

I hope it has the sharp dialogue we've come to expect from Smith. You know, because "it looks like a stage is being erected" is such a common thing to say. Fucking putz.

SWEET! I can't wait for Red State. Zack and Miri also looks awesome.

It will be interesting to see what Smith does with a horror flick. The only thing I worry about is his somewhat pedestrian visual style. He is getting better on that front, but horror is one genre that lends itself to a strong sense of mise en scène. I hope he hires a really good director of photography and really sits down before hand to plan out the look of the film.

i hope it comes together for him...i don't really understand why he'd do it...i can't imagine that our beloved genre would seem rewarding to a filmmaker..with that in mind i assume he's passionate about it...also typical non-horror directors that dabble in the genre tend to do something interesting..

This seems like a stretch for Kevin Smith, but I'm a fan of his. I wish him all the luck with this. Looking forward to it.
