i guess he talked about it during an interview. he said that it would be a comedy horror film, but instead the movie will be a straight out horror film, with lots of blood.
the main thing that i am worried about it, the mood of the film. even kevin smith knows that he can't direct worth a shit. sure he can direct a comedy that makes people laugh, but can he direct a movie where the tension has to be high. i'm hoping that he gets a great DP who will shoot the film very eerily and horrifying.

Until we see something saying Kevin Smith is actually doing a horror film, this is a little irrelevant, isn't it?

Clerks, Mallrats & Chasing Amy were good low budget indie flicks. Dogma was pretty awesome. Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was hilarious. I haven't seen Clerks 2 or Jersey Girl yet, but from what I've seen of his work, Kevin Smith hasn't done me wrong. I think if he ever does decide to do horror, he'll throw in some comedy and keep it lighthearted. I certainly don't picture him directing the next Saw type movie or anything like that, but I could see him doing something along the lines of Shaun of the Dead.

Yeah, i imagine it would be a horror movie with some funny dialogues and far out characters.

Would surely be a movie i would look for at my blockbuster. But i wouldn´t spend money on a cinema ticket.

it pretty much has been confirmed, with smith actually saying that he is doing a straight up horror film. this all happened at clerks 2 showing i think. read about it here.

here is what part of it reads.

I went to the Clerks showing in Red Bank, NJ tonight where Kevin Smith did an hour-long Q&A before the show. One kid asked him about the horror movie rumor and he confirmed it as being true. From what I can remember, he said, "Yes, I am doing a horror movie next. It's entitled 'Jersey Girl 2.' No, I'm kidding, but yes, I am doing a horror movie next." When asked if it would be a comedy horror, "No, its going to be straight horror. I feel after 7 comedies its time to take a left turn and do a straight up different movie, in this case horror. Its gonna have all of the horror you'd expect, blood and guts...and tits. No, no, no, not that, I'm talkin about man tits. What? What's so bad about man tits? I have tits! They're sexy! And hairy...but, yeah, I'm doin a horror movie." And finally, when asked as to when, he said that it "wouldn't be for a year or two. I just got done makin a movie, I'm not rushing into another. Probably two years."

i'll look forward to this ..

all it takes to make a decent horror film is some brains ..

Kevin Smith is a smart guy..

I don't agree with that at all, he's a damn good director imo. I've enjoyed all his movies and I'm looking forward to seeing this if it happens.

I've never really thought that if someone does x type of film that they wouldn't be able to make a y type film. A good director is a good director

Speilberg's made great films about dinosaurs, aliens, WWII, Indiana Jones ect.

i agree .. he likes to put himself down .. thats his shtick ..
but i think he is very confident (to the point of subtle arrogance) that he is a very good filmmaker.

you can easily read between the lines and see that in his comments and interviews.

that last time, smith went away from his usual dick and fart joke movie, he was met with horrible results (jersey girl), i would just rather see a clerks type movie from him. but who knows. he could add something new to the horror genre and freshen it up a little bit. plus things always change. wasn't he susposed to direct fletch won? now he has nothing to do with it. smith said that it will be a couple of years before the horror movie. watch the idea get dropped altogether.

I think they're a little deeper than that but to each his own.

yeah, i guess you are right. they are a little deeper then that. chasing amy was an amazing film and clerks 2 was a great movie about friendship. but the core is all about dick and fart. i wish smith the best of luck in the horror genre. it would be bad ass, if the horror movie involved jay and silent bob. that would be a must see.
