A group of kids encounters a crazed preacher (based on Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church) who gives a whole new meaning to the term “extreme fundamentalism.”

Just in from Kev’s twitter. He says: ” If I didn’t write it, it’s not official. And I never wrote that.”

“Red State” begins filming on September 22nd.

ESTIMATED BUDGET: $27,000

Though officially Clerks only pulled in $3 million or so at the box office, its legacy is undeniable. In order to make the film in the first place, Kevin Smith sold most of his comic book collection, maxed out his credit cards, dipped into college funds, and spent the insurance money he’d been awarded when he lost his car in a flood. Long story short, if it had flopped, he would have been in a whole lot of trouble. The film eventually found an audience, spawned sequels, an animated series, and most importantly, launched the nearly fifteen-year career of Kevin Smith. Empire magazine even named it “one of the 500 greatest movies of all time” in 2008.

Who he?

The indie writer/director of Chasing Amy, Clerks, Dogma et al. He’s also well-known for his mammoth (and very entertaining) question and answer evenings, and most recently became notorious for getting thrown off an airplane.

Typical Tweets:

He can usually be found plugging either his latest movies or his podcast, aka the ‘Smodcast’:

Like Lana from RISKY BUSINESS, SModcast comes to your town!

His twitter feed is most (in)famous, however, for some alarmingly graphic posts about sexual escapades with his wife.

On a roll this week: we’ve f-cked twice a day every day since Sunday. With little fanfare I’m trying to make it a solid four weeks straight.

And that’s one of the milder ones.

Likelihood he’ll Tweet you back:

Almost 100%, he tweets approximately a bajillion times a day and will answer any conceivable question you might ask.

We’re in the home stretch of the biggest superhero launch of the year as Dynamite continues to proudly present Kevin Smith’s Green Hornet! The dark forces that took the life of the original Green Hornet now set their sights on young Britt Reid Jr as he takes up his father’s war on crime. With the help of the Kato family Britt begins to grow into his role as hero. But a larger, more sinister game is afoot, one that could cost our new Green Hornet not only his life, but the lives of everyone in Century City.From the unproduced screenplay by fan-favorite Kevin Smith, featuring the careful had of Phil Hester and artist Jonathan Lau! And check out that strong of all-star covers!

The Stash will have signed copies for ya, or of course, you can always pick up a reader copy at your local shop/retailer, then do like we do — Get a spare signed copy for safe keeping.

While the book represents Kevin’s vision for the Hornet on the big screen, you can now also see how Columbia Pictures decided to go with their version — The first two official promo images were released yesterday, quickly followed by the film’s official trailer today. We love Rogen, but we’re also stoked to see how Christoph Waltz takes on the role of the baddie.

Synopsis:

A night-shift paramedic gets a lot more than he bargained for during a routine rescue in “Bitten,” a gruesome thriller. Jack is a good-hearted, hard-working EMT, so when he finds a young woman named Danika on death’s door who refuses to go to the hospital, Jack decides to take her home and nurse her back to health. As her condition improves, Jack begins to fall in love with the mystery girl. But something is not quite right–and it’s not just his fear of commitment. As secrets begin to unfold, Jack learns that Danika is a vampire who has more skeletons in her closet than he could have ever imagined. And if he isn’t careful, he could be the next.

The delicious spine-chiller and Syfy premiere stars Jason Mewes (“Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” “Clerks II”) and Erica Cox (“American Pie Presents Beta House”). A horrifying love story that doesn’t promise a happy ending, the “Bitten” DVD features never-before-seen, too-hot-for-television footage.
