Kevin Smith Reveals He's Developing a New TV Project with Marc Bernardin and Confirms TUSK 2

Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin (Star Trek: Picard, Castle Rock, Treadstone) have teamed up to develop a new TV project that they are very excited about. They teased the project on a recent episode of Fatman Beyond podcast, and according to Bernardin it could “win Kevin an Emmy."

Smith said: "Me and Marc are having these conversations… speaking of shit that we can't tell you about, me and Marc are working on another thing. Remember, Marc was like 'I got an idea'. He told me the idea and I was 'the fuck out of here'. We've been working on that and it's moving along."

We don’t have any story details to share, which is a shame, but the idea started out as a movie concept that evolved into a TV series idea. Bernardin says: "It was the thing that was supposed to win Kevin an Oscar but now it seems like it will win Kevin an Emmy. It might win all of the Emmys.”

Smith also confirmed that he is indeed working on a sequel to his horror film Tusk, with plans to release it in 2024.

Smith also shared: "Ever since the heart attack I've been living on borrowed time. 2024 will mark the 10-year anniversary of Tusk...We could just leave it there and move on, but you know, I've got more story left I'd like to tell, there's a reason we left him in the zoo at the end. I always knew as we were making the movie I was just like, 'I'll totally do this again.' I thought we'd have the late great Michael Parks with us longer, but sadly he's not, but I know we got Justin (Long)."

Teasing what the film's plot will be about, Smith added, "Early on I was always like, Well, eventually, they'll take them out of that walrus skin and try to rehabilitate them. And just like Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight Returns, he'll only ever see himself one way. Then he becomes the Howard Howe, Justin Long becomes the crazy guy who's trying to turn people into something else, Chimera things, half-human and half-whatever. Last time it was walrus, this time...you'll see."

Kevin Smith has been keeping himself consistently busy with film and TV projects and it’ll be interesting to see what this next TV project will turn out to be.
