- Kevin once again takes to the web audio realm this week, guest starring on CinemaBlend’s “Weekly Blend”. Kevin generously chats and then sits in (via Skype voice chat) for a full hour with the gang, discussing the new movie, whats coming up, and lots more.
Of particular interest, Kevin does mention that the long in planning “Ranger Danger” may no longer be made, with the new Sci-Fi comedy sort of a replacement. This makes sense to us, as we’ve heard Kevin say many times in the past he’ll take a completed script and borrow ideas from it for other projects. We’re guessing this new idea is a totally different film, but that he may have borrowed some of those “Ranger Danger” sequences or nuances to help shape this one.
With “Red State” very close to finding all the funding needed, we’re still hopeful to see THAT as the total 180 degree follow-up to “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” — Then, it’d be way cool to see Seth Rogen and other big names return to star in this unnamed sci-fi comedy. Of course, News Askew will be there, every step of the way, as the project develops.

“Ranger Danger” = “Untitled Space Comedy”…
- Alright, so the headline’s got a bit of geekspeak programming lingo in there, but what we’re saying is, /Film has cornered Kevin to clear up the questions regarding the future project that he’s been chatting up about a comedy set in space. Most sites (us included) speculated that this MUST be the long in development “Ranger Danger” project (Randal’s screen-worn shit in “Clerks 2” seemed to hint the film was closer to reality). Now, thanks to this /Film article, we now know that these are TWO totally different projects. So, we’ve now got “Red State”, “Ranger Danger”, AND the untitled space comedy (possibly starring Seth Rogen) all in the planning stages. Sounds like we’ll at least have jobs here for the next few years! More news and clarification as hints continue to be dropped.
Rogen To Return As “Ranger Danger”?
- The LA Times recently scored a cool quote from Kevin regarding casting Seth Rogen as his lead hero in what’s currently known as “View Askew 10”, though the more we think about it, may turn into the long-in-planning “Ranger Danger and the Danger Rangers”. Keep in mind, things change over the years, and Kevin may have retooled that film to a new theme/title or even come up with a totally different sci-fi superhero. We’ll see. However, current hints and quotes we’ve seen from Kevin are in line with “Ranger Danger” coming next after “Red State”. Here’s what JoBlo posted up today:
“First, I’m going to do a 180 turn and do a horror movie called ‘Red State,’ ” Smith said in an interview Sept. 7 at the Toronto International Film Festival. “It’s going to be a total horror-political-psychological movie without a funny line in it. Then I’m going to do the science-fiction superhero movie. It’s going to be an original superhero that I’ve created. It’s stewing right now. I want to do it, though, and, God willing, it will star Seth Rogen.”See the full story over at the LA Times website. Kudos to Joblo as well for picking up on this scoop.
