Five New Photos from Kevin Smith's Horror Film TUSK
So I just found out that Haley Joel Osment's mom is a teacher at the school my kids go to, and that little tidbit of pointless trivia leads us to the new film that Haley Joel Osment co-stars in, Tusk. The film was directed by Kevin Smith, and boy oh boy does it look interesting. The story stars Michael Parks as a man who is trying to turn another guy played by Justin Long into a freakin' walrus.
We've already seen a disturbing teaser trailer for the movie that you can watch here, and today we have five new photos from the film for you to take a gander at. They feature all of the actors from the movie that were listed above. Poor Justin Long looks like shit. It makes sense as the guy is being put through absolute hell. Johnny Depp also plays a part in the story, but we've seen nothing of him yet.
Here's the full synopsis for the jacked-up looking film that is sure to entertain:
In the twenty years since his influential debut feature, Clerks, Kevin Smith has established himself as a singular voice in the American indie landscape with his wry observations of disaffected youth culture. With his 2011 horror film, Red State, and his new film, Tusk, Smith reinvents himself by bringing his comedic chops to a new, disturbing milieu.
Wallace (Justin Long) co-hosts a popular podcast with his pal Teddy (Haley Joel Osment), focusing on cruel, mocking cringe humour as part of their mission to keep it “real and raunchy.” After his trip to Winnipeg to interview the “Kill Bill Kid” — a teen whose unfortunate samurai-sword video has gone viral — comes up empty, Wallace decides to make the trip worth his while and find a good story north of the forty-ninth parallel. A handwritten flyer he finds in a bar bathroom leads him to a grizzled old swab (Michael Parks) full of tall tales to share from his life of adventure at sea — and this is where Wallace’s voyage to the Great White North descends into straight-up madness.
Smith has always been an expert at easy banter and snappy jokes, but with Tusk he brings his distinctive sensibility to a whole new dimension of terror and the bizarre.
Be warned: even as it deftly delivers on its outlandish and outrageous concept, the film is also aboot how Americans view Canada — so check your patriotic fervour at the door and prepare for a barrage of Canuck jokes and a steaming-hot double-double of strange.
