With this year's hockey Winter Classic taking place between the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers at Fenway Park today (go Habs go!), we figured it would be a perfect time to remind folks of Kevin Smith's possible next cinematic venture entitled HIT SOMEBODY, a film which Smith based on Warren Zevon's song of the same name. We recently uncovered a 10-minute video of Smith talking hockey with the writer of said song, Mitch Albom, as they both walk around Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, and even meet some of the actual players (note how Buffalo goaltender Ryan Miller seems to actually know who Smith is!). If you're a big hockey fan, you'll definitely enjoy the video below, and after that, make sure you head on over to ViewAskew.com and check out Kevin's recent visit through the Edmonton Oilers backstage/dressing room, etc... PS: Yes, I'm Canadian and I love hockey...got a problem with that??! ;)

Extra Tidbit: We covered Kevin Smith playing goalie in a hockey tournament just this past summer...

will it be a comedy like Slap Shot?

I couldn't tell whether the song was supposed to be funny or serious. Maybe it was the way the guy was singing it, but this sounds like a cool idea!

Never heard a hockey song???

Mitch clearly hasn't heard of Stompin' Tom Connors or "the good old hockey song"

I'm all for it.

But did it have to be Red Wings?

I love hockey too so I hope this turns out good and brings some attention to the sport. I'm also a Sabres fan so that was fun to see Ryan Miller. It's too bad people treat it like a joke here in the states when they take other sports where everyone is jacked up on steroids so seriously.

That was entertaining. Sounds like Kevin is really pumped for this film. I haven't seen a really emotional Hockey movie before, so it should be great and Kevin does Emotion well so I'm sure it will be fun.
