Kevin Smith's horror film is ready to roll, so says the infamous writer-director-producer. Smith updated his loyal readers on his website, View Askew, and chatted a bit about completing his horror script, Red State, which will be produced by Dimension Films. What's interesting about his letter to his fans is that he notes the lack of dialogue in the film, which is my mind is good news. Read on for the skinny.
Kevin Smith writes on News Askew:
"It is written.
Finished “Red State” today.
Shortest flick (in terms of page count) that I ever wrote. Least amount of dialogue, too (not to say there’s no dialogue; just that there’s about half as much as I normally write).
Unlike any other script I’ve ever authored, to say the least. Very fucked up. If I’d never said anything about it in the press and put it out under a pseudonym, I doubt anyone would ever connect me with it.
Can’t wait to shoot it."
For those of you just tuning in, Smith explained the plot a few months back: "The film is insipred by Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, a controversial church group made largely of members of the Phelps family and run by preacher Fred Phelps. [The Church] is infamous in America for taking a supremely homophobic stance and for picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq, the group see media interviews as a platform for airing their views and the word of their founder, Fred Phelps." Smith states that Red is "very much about that subject matter, that point of view and that position taken to the absolute extreme."
