With all his acting work of late, it's easy to forget that Kevin Smith actually writes and directs movies too. He announced at one of his Q&As that he was working on a horror movie. Smith told Canmag that he's planning to do it pretty much straight, not even like a horror comedy.
Kevin Smith Feeling Horrorable
"I mean , there'd be like a touch of levity but not like, Shaun of the Dead to me is a brilliant horror comedy and I wouldn't want to do that," he said. "I couldn't do it number one and two, I wouldn't want to try that."
He's not even sure he has the nerve to do an all out horror movie. There is a comedy as a fall back option. "It’s kind of coming down to me wanting to do this comedy and me wanting to do this horror flick. And I feel like I should do the horror flick because I’ve done seven comedies in 12 years, and I don’t feel like a filmmaker most days. I just feel like a guy who makes those movies set in that universe. So if I really want to test myself or push myself, I’d try and make something completely out of my safety zone, completely outside my genre. That said, I’ve never tested myself, so why would I start now."
Either way, it's a long way off. "Horror flick is all up here. I just have to put it down here. I’ve just been using acting as an excuse to not sit down and actually write."
