- “The Wrap” spills the beans on the actors and actresses joining the great Michael Parks in front of the cameras when Kevin starts filming “Red State” this Fall.
Kyle Gallner, Michael Angarano and Steven Root are in talks to co-star in Kevin Smith’s political horror film “Red State,” and Oscar nominated actress Melissa Leo is also circling the project, an individual familiar with the casting process has told TheWrap.
Dermot Mulroney was previously also listed among the cast, but The Wrap and Kevin have refuted that, at least for now. Root previously worked for Kevin in a small role in “Jersey Girl” – Some scoopers noted Kevin speaking with Root at Comic Con recently, as well.

- Please take note: The October 16th House of Blues appearance that was annouced was not legit — Kevin will be working on “Red State” at the time. If anything changes we’ll let you know, but according to his twitter, you should not buy tix for this gig.
- As always, /Film has done a fantastic job at collecting video from Kevin’s San Diego panel this year. Surf it up and view all the parts right here.
- How ’bout some more new video? Big Shiny Robot also caught up with Kev at the Con summarized the invitation-only live SModcast and posted the press interview which followed. All are now available for your streaming pleasure.
- IFC reports that Kevin will moderate a 25th anniversary screening of John Hughes’ classic “The Breakfast Club” on Monday, September 20th, followed by a cast Q&A with the flick’s 4 stars. Sounds like a must-attend event at New York City’s Paris Theater to us. For the main events, tickets range from $25 – $65. There’s also a single screening of the film alone the day before at the Walter Reade Theater. Hit up www.filmlinc.com for pricing and tickets. The official View Askew site also has done a nice job http://viewaskew.com/events/thebreakfastkev/ at consolidating this info for ya.
