Earlier today we clawed a few more plot details for Kevin Smith’s piously-tinged horror debut RED STATE, and now we have a bit more news regarding the film.
According to his own Twitter account, Smith will not indulge in wide interview circuits to help promote his film this time around. After somewhat of a row with critics earlier this year over COP OUT, Smith may wanna jettison the whole process altogether. Peep it:
“I’m not press-junketing at all, anywhere. In fact, I’m not doing any press outside of maybe a business piece or 2 to help sell the flick if needed, & radio (LOTS of radio).”
Smith continues, noting how he’ll use his Smodcast forum to address the film:
“It’s INSANELY detailed, and by the time we’re done, I’ll have pre-answered all questions about RedState — thus negating the need to speak with me about it,” he wrote. “From nearly 20 yrs experience, I know this much: folks are gonna write WHATEVER they want, whether I sit down with them or not. So I’ll just furnish all the information I’d normally serve up one at a time to a small, jaded audience that doesn’t really give a s–t unless there’s someone famous in the room, to a much larger, APPRECIATIVE audience that would actually enjoy & benefit from hearing the same information.”
Silent Bob concluded with:
“Nobody needs to talk to me anymore anyway, as anyone who’s curious can always know what I’m thinking 24/7 right here on Twitter.”
True enough Kev, but I think you may be forgetting one thing. Most everyone who’s seen the new RED STATE teaser has nothing but good things to say about it. We’re generally excited to see it, which may not have been the case with COP OUT. It may actually behoove you to speak about this one!
Just sayin…
What says you guys? You care if Smith interviews for RED STATE or not?
Kerry Bishe!
