Smith is conservative

Well the chaps over at Rotten Tomatoes UK had the chance to speak to Smith, and not only is the horror project on its way, but it has a title too, RED STATE. And yes, thats a deliberate political reference on K-Smis part, as the film is inspired by the extreme Christian fundamentalism rearing its head in todays America.
Smith says the movie isnt a straight-up horror movie. He says in the interview: "It's weird because for a few months I've been saying 'horror movie' and technically it is, but it's also not a very traditional horror movie in the sense that people have been asking me, 'Is it a slasher movie? Is it like the Japanese horror flicks?' It'd be much easier to just show it to them when I'm done and be like, 'This is what I meant.'"
Makes sense, doesnt it? Wed all be an ignorant bunch of movie fans to expect a regular horror movie from Smith. In the interview he mentions using one of them intense evangelical preachers as his villain. Good call, because those dudes are truly more terrifying than some punk in a William Shatner mask.

Extra Tidbit: | In case you haven't seen the recent full length trailer, Kevin Smith has a small role in the upcoming LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD. That's DIE HARD 4.0 for the uninitiated. |
