I saw Kevin Smith do a Q&A at the 2010 Just for Laughs Festival, and he was super psyched for this little indie horror film he was making called Red State. Being a Smith fan and a horror film, I was pretty intrigued. Red State showed up on my radar early, and I followed it closely for the past year or so. Pretty easy to do with all the Red State related info that Smith has been churning out the past 12 months.
Oh yeah, as I tweeted last night (I need to update that profile), Smith announced in Montreal that Hit Somebody will actually be a two part film (notice how my tweet predates Cinema Blend’s article by 13 hours?). Not sure what the market is for two-part hockey films (other than Canada) but I’m excited and I’m pretty sure Smith doesn’t give a shit about the market anymore either.
After publicly feuding with the Phelps family (with the Phelps family chanting God Hates America and a pack of high school kids singing Lady Gaga lyrics back at them, Smith’s reaction? “It was fucked.”), a circus at Sundance, then taking the show on the road like an old timey movie with only one print, Smith’s flick finally rolled into Canada. Sort of, it actually screened at Fantasia a few weeks ago, but, other than a few minute video intro, Smith himself was absent from the premiere. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
