Kevin Smith's RED STATE Receives Early Buzz From Director Richard Kelly

 

For those of you anxiously waiting to see Kevin Smith's next movie I have some news for you, the movie has gotten some early buzz and it is good.  Director Richard Kelly has seen Smith's upcoming indie horror film Red State and shared his thoughts on the film during a recent appearance at Smith’s Smodcastle screening of Southland Tales.  Kelly also directed Donnie Darko and The Box.  

He had the following to say about Red State: 

“I have never seen a filmmaker reinvent himself the way you just have. I won’t say anything else because I don’t want to spoil anything. It’s really really exciting. If the movie ends up playing at Sundance, I might actually come up to just see the audience’s response. I can not wait…”

Smith commented on Kelly's reaction by saying

“He had this expression on his face which was almost like ‘Hey man, your dog just started talking to me!’ You know what I’m saying? He was like ‘You didn’t make this! Like really, who made this?’”

Kelly's reaction is very interesting and in line with other reports we have heard about the film.  I am looking forward to seeing this film.  Venkman is headed to Sundance this year and will share his thoughts once he has watched it.  Listen for yourself to the conversation between Kelly and Smith on Smodcast.com.
