Funny man writer/director Kevin Smith has been quite open about the financing issues for Red State, his long-gestured horror film that would return him to his indie roots. Today a new interview was posted on MTV where he goes into detail for the first time about the struggle to find money, and why it has to be low budget. You can watch the video beyond the break. Red State is a horror film in which a group of misfits encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America.

I really hope he gets a funding for this. The premise the movie has just gets me hooked into it, and it's Kevin Smith plus horror...indie style...that's a win/win for me. I like how he still wants to do this film after so much trouble with it.

Kevin Smith sucks. Clerks was good for a low budget indie. That's all he's done that's worth mentioning.

I think smiths best movies were mallrats and zack and miri that movie is epic. And him doing horror is cool. the premise is pretty exciting.

i love kevin smith, i wasn't a huge fan of Zach and Miri Make a Porno or Jersey Girl but other than that i have to say that i have enjoyed all of his movies, a horror movie by smith would be awesome, especially due to the fact that he has a knack for writing out realistic and likable characters, even if they can be dicks at times, and low-budget? i'm not one to judge a movie based on its budget but i think that it will make the movie to be low-budget, if its mean, dirty and gritty then hell yes count me in, fuck it, count me in no matter what haha.

I love me some Kevin Smith. He writes real characters (You know that all those long conversation scenes are the same exact ones you had with your friends at work, at the mall, at the bar, etc...) And I'm glad he wants to get to the nitty-gritty on this. And I also think it's awesome that he wants to expand away from his comedies, try something different, and I hope that he gets his funding because...Damnit if Smith didnt start a whole generation of film-makers after his release of Clerks. Search your heart, you know this to be true

Shit. I thought this was going to be about him saying he finally got financial backing.

Its wierd, you wouldnt think it would be hard for Smith to get a few million to make a movie. I mean the guys got a following built in an everything.

I find it hard as well that he would have a hard time finding the bank for this film. Not only does he have a huge fan base, but underground horror has the fan base as well? Lets just hope we see it in this lifetime! Because I loves me some Kevin Smith!!!
