Kevin Smith to direct "straight up" horror film

From AICN, news askew, and a few other sites....

Quote:

Kevin Smith is seriously doing a horror movie as his next project.

I went to the Clerks showing in Red Bank, NJ tonight where Kevin Smith did an hour-long Q&A before the show. One kid asked him about the horror movie rumor and he confirmed it as being true. From what I can remember, he said, "Yes, I am doing a horror movie next. It's entitled 'Jersey Girl 2.' No, I'm kidding, but yes, I am doing a horror movie next." When asked if it would be a comedy horror, "No, its going to be straight-up horror. I feel after 7 comedies, it's time to take a left turn and do a straight-up different movie, in this case horror. Its gonna have all of the horror you'd expect, plenty of blood and guts...and tits. No, no, no, not that, I'm talkin about man tits. What? What's so bad about man tits? I have tits! They're sexy! And hairy...but, yeah, I'm doin' a horror movie next." And finally, when asked as to when, he said that it "wouldn't be for a year or two. I just got done makin a movie, I'm not rushing into another. Probably two years."

Keep in mind that that is mostly all paraphrased quotes from Kevin Smith. I was standing five feet from him as he confirmed the rumors. Another thing, though, is that he made it clear that they were going to be doing it entirely in LA, so besides this being a step away from his comedy roots, he is also stepping away from NJ. While this is will probably be a disappointment to many of his NJ fans, such as me (I live 10 miles from the Quick Stop), the movie will have nothing to do with the Askewniverse. He's keeping that for the comedies.

Lets just hope it'll be better than Clerks 2.

I don't know what to think about him doing a horror movie.A horror comedy would be funny IMO though.I guess its best its not part of the ViewAskew universe cuz it wouldn't fit there IMO.I'll most likely go see it so just hope it's cool.......

I thought there was. I didn't find it the least bit funny, but who am I to argue with the only opinion that matters. My apologies.

Thank god I did'nt upload what I was really thinking after looking at Peanut's latest baiting post at me

*Brodie* · 08-10-2006, 11:40 AM

That movie was great, but a reason why peanut didn't find a lot of stuff funny is because, I guess the racial slurs used in the movie, they don't exist in Canada. So its basically just weird names in Canada.

Anyway. Back on track.

A Kevin Smith horror movie? I dunno...I dig the guy and all, and bought the Roadhouse DVD for him...But I was kinda hoping for Ranger Danger.

I was hoping for Green Hornet. He has every chance nowq to make that and he decides it's time to act like a genre-bender again, and he'll probably cast Ben Affleck as the serial murderer

Grow up. I'm not trying to bait you. Why do you think anyone with a different opinion is trying to bait you? You're not worth the arguement.

The scene you posted is the only scene I liked in the entire movie. I never laughed at it though.

I never do, I just wanted you to ellaborate on why you thought Clerks II was'nt funny, you did, but you also took a sarcastic shot at me in the process

Clearly I am, otherwise you would'nt still be talking to me and have just allowed this thread to run it's natural course, stick me on Ignore if you have a problem with me, or take it to PM, and spare us all an open peice of sparring
