- It’s thrilling to see tidbits from Kevin this week, who confirms that “Red State” is now underway with a couple day’s work in front of the cameras already in the books. This project’s got us real excited, as it’s a complete genre change, the first non-comedic project as a writer-director, and a script that we know very, very little about.
Take a look at Mr. Smith’s “Red”-related tweets from the week so far:
Rolled our first few feet of film on RED STATE, featuring Michael Angarano & Anna Gunn – great actors, even in wide, MOS establishing shots.
Tomorrow is our first full day on RED STATE. Some high school stuff with our boys: the aforementioned Angarano, Kyle Gallner & Nick Braun.
Via @VideoETA “Can you confirm casting/offers to Pollack and/or Melissa Leo?” I cannot confirm offers; I can confirm they’re both cast.
RED STATE fully underway. Observations: Michael, Kyle & Nick crushed the first scene. Excellent crew. Red cameras rock. Catering top-notch.
RED STATE, Day 1 felt like coming home. Big thanks to a great cast & crew. And HUGE thanks to the Tweeps who came down to do background.
Sounds like a fantastic start, always good to hear. How about a blast from the past? The news that Kevin was going to make a horror flick first broke on August 6, 2006 — Yes, that’s how long it took this week to become a reality! From the full detail story a few days later, which even contains the video of Kevin’s first public reveal of the plans to make the flick…
…You can now check out the famous Rock-Paper-Scissors sequence on YouTube, where Kevin first announced his intentions to do a horror flick.
Kevin’s also recently posted this blurb on the flick: “…it’ll be pretty different from anything else I’ve done thus far – that much I can tell you. There may be a few chuckles in it along the way, but it won’t be comedy-horror. It’ll be chills and gore.”
No release date has been set just yet, but as production continues, we’ll have all your news here.
