If It’s Movies

Hey folks, Ryan here…

There’s no question that Kevin Smith loves to work with the same group of actors in all of his movies. But according to Smith, there will be no familiar faces in his upcoming horror film, RED STATE, a horror movie in which a group of misfits encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America.

“‘Red State’ I would like to do with completely unknown people. I think it would be tough to settle into a horror movie if you’re like, ‘Hey! That’s the Snootchie-Bootchies guy,’” Smith deadpanned.

Smith went on to say that RED STATE may not be his project, and might get pushed back so he could start work on ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO.

“I went to go work on ZACK AND MIRI, so I’m still working on the script for RED STATE. We’re not sure. We were going to shoot RED STATE first and then ZACK AND MIRI second, but we might flip-flop ‘em, [do] ZACK AND MIRI first. Script’s done [and] it’s out to actors now. We’ve just submitted our budget so we’re trying figure out if we’ll shoot in the fall or in the winter.”
