Just one more reason why I have scads of respect for Kevin Smith. The guy can talk for 45 minutes about the best Belgium waffle he ever ate, and it would be interesting. The guy is a master storyteller, major geek, and still one of the coolest guy on the planet. And if that wasnt enough, he is continually challenging himself, and is stretching out to try Horror soon.
ComingSoon.net says:
“Horror flick is all up here (points to brain); I just have to put it down here (pretends to type). I’ve just been using acting as an excuse to not sit down and not write. For me, I don’t know; it’s kind of coming down to me wanting to do this comedy and me wanting to do this horror flick. And I feel like I should do the horror flick because I’ve done seven comedies in 12 years, and I don’t feel like a filmmaker most days; I just feel like a guy who makes those movies set in that universe. So if I really want to test myself or push myself, I’d try and make something completely out of my safety zone, completely out of my genre – that said, I’ve never tested myself, so why would I start now.”
When this guy does something that isn’t a smart move, I will mark it on my calendar.
