“Red State” Script Finished!

According to News Askew, Kevin Smith has finished the script for his upcoming Horror/Thriller “Red State” and it’s the shortest script he’s ever written.

Smith details:

It is written. Finished “Red State” today. Shortest flick (in terms of page count) that I ever wrote. Least amount of dialogue, too (not to say there’s no dialogue; just that there’s about half as much as I normally write). Unlike any other script I’ve ever authored, to say the least. Very fucked up. If I’d never said anything about it in the press and put it out under a pseudonym, I doubt anyone would ever connect me with it. Can’t wait to shoot it.

Also, Smith’s original plot detailing:

“The film is insipred by Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, a controversial church group made largely of members of the Phelps family and run by preacher Fred Phelps. [The Church] is infamous in America for taking a supremely homophobic stance and for picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq, the group see media interviews as a platform for airing their views and the word of their founder, Fred Phelps.” ["Red" is] very much about that subject matter, that point of view and that position taken to the absolute extreme.”

If any of you have ever seen the Phelps family videos before, you’d want to kill them too.

Though I can’t imagine this being a horror/thriller due to its subject matter, i’ll still go ahead and give Smith the benefit of the doubt on this one. Just don’t fuck it up and throw a “Mooby Burger” into the background.
