Kevin Smith's films are a legend in the industry, with his own fan base that rivals that of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, so with the announcement of his untitled horror project, millions of fanboys simply lost it. Some loved the idea, the others condemned it to hell, but what else can you expect from fans (look at Rob Zombie’s Halloween)? Point is, the mouthy director has been quoted as "disliking" the horror genre (on Project Greenlight), so what will he bring to the table that’s different from the genre he doesn’t even appreciate? As a matter of fact, will he even have the galls to do it? Read on for the latest on the project, which is sure to create plenty of controversy once it gets rolling.
From an interview over at Comingsoon.net:
"Smith added that he hasn't started writing his horror movie yet. "Horror flick is all up here (points to brain); I just have to put it down here (pretends to type). I've just been using acting as an excuse to not sit down and not write. For me, I don't know; it's kind of coming down to me wanting to do this comedy and me wanting to do this horror flick. And I feel like I should do the horror flick because I've done seven comedies in 12 years, and I don't feel like a filmmaker most days; I just feel like a guy who makes those movies set in that universe. So if I really want to test myself or push myself, I'd try and make something completely out of my safety zone, completely out of my genre – that said, I've never tested myself, so why would I start now."
