- Southland Tales will hit theaters in just one week (this Wednesday, the 14th) — So has anyone caught it yet? We’ve all heard the rumors that Kevin’s role is still there, but possibly cut down to help with the runtime. In a recent interview, Richard Kelly cited the fact that it’s one of the plots he was saddest to see go. So we’re wondering — How much Kevin do we got? Let us know, or comment to this post. The film itself is very ambitious, and rumor has it, will baffle audiences — Just the kind of flick we LOVE. We can’t wait to see it.
With the release, of course, comes the press. As this isn’t a View Askew production, we won’t be covering every single tiny news item, but just some major stuff — And of course, anything where Kevin’s name comes up. Like this Wired interview for example, where Kelly credits Kevin for his help in getting the prequel comics for the film out there:
Wired: You also penned a bunch of comic books that give backstory on the film…Kelly: Kevin Smith helped publish them. There’s going to be a bound collection — like a graphic novel — available in bookstores soon.
Also, the official film soundtrack was released earlier this week. It’s a sick soundtrack that features unreleased songs from Moby and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. A complete track listing can be found at Amazon or the Milan Records site. We’re stoked to hear that Moby score in the film.See “Southland Tales” next week for a unique experience at the theater AND to support Richard Kelly, a longtime friend and fan of View Askew. And of course…Don’t forget, Kevin’s in it!

I caught the premiere at AFI Fest in LA and can definitely say that Kevin’s role is still in tact. He isn’t a major character – just pops up here and there for most of the film – but essentially plays the part of let-me-explain-the-plot-and-make-everything-make-sense in the end. The film is a masterpiece…kind of. Honestly, I’m truly baffled as to what I saw, but nonetheless mezmerized. It’s an interesting flick – not necessarily good or bad – that just kind of exists (It plays more like a collection of out-of-this-world ideas committed to film rather than an actual film). Either way, I’d recommend everyone go see it and do your best to spot Kevin. He’s just about unrecognizable.
