Director Kevin Smith is returning to the world of horror with his next project, Tusk.
During a recent podcast, Smith announced that he will direct the off-beat horror film. Production is expected to begin on September 15.
Described as an “unsettling” tale without the politics of his last effort in the genre, Red State, Tusk concerns a man who was once lost at sea with a walrus.
When the man returns home, he puts out an ad for a roommate. The only thing this man asks is that his roommate wear a walrus costume (he’s obviously missed his walrus pal) and act only like the animal.
Smith developed the script with his long-time associated Scott Mosier. Smith says he would ideally like to see director Quentin Tarentino in the lead role of the film.
Is it just me or is anyone else thinking of calling Shenanigans on this?
You can see him confirm it and tell the 15 minute story at ComiCon here: http://youtu.be/40kZlsqIEUg – Although whoever wrote the story got one fact wrong: Quentin is NOT up for the lead, that belongs to Michael Parks, but he wants Quentin in on the movie too since he introduced Kevin to Michael. It sounds like a great, quirky, scary movie.
