Okay, so we’re all waiting for what exactly Kevin Smith has planned for his first entry into the horror genre. Moviehole couldn’t wait, so they tracked down Smith in Australia this past week to get some info from him.
On why exactly he’s doing doing this, Smith responded,
On what folks can expect from Smith’s first horror outing, Smith says he’ll play it straight. “No jokes and stuff, not like SCARY MOVIE 4. There are peop;e that do that really well, like Edgar Wright with
HALLOWEEN and THE SHINING), and iterates that his film won’t be just another knock off or remake. “I’ll pretty much vouche for anything that I came of age watching. You know, the ’70s-’80s slasher genre. The current crop of horror movies not nearly as much. There seems to be a lot of remakes and whatnot. A lot of ‘Let’s do TEXAS CHAINSAW. Again. And let’s do THE HILLS HAVE EYES again.’ I’m sure there’s probably ripe material out there. A lot of things are more horrible than a dude in a mask trying to stab you. So I’m kinda going for that. The one thing I’m happy about is the idea that I have, I haven’t seen it done before.”
