Kevin Smith’s ‘Hit Somebody’ Update: First Film Scripted, Both Films Titled
Kevin Smithtook to TwitterFriday morning to update his fans on his next and final film,Hit Somebody. Smithrecently announcedthat the hockey film would be released in two parts, alaKill Bill, and as of today the first script is done and he’s moved on to part two. He’ll call part oneHit Somebody: Homeand the second partHit Somebody: Awayreferring to the fact that the first film will see the main character Buddy, played byNicholas Braun, growing up and the second will see him playing pro hockey. Smith’salso aiming forthe first part to be rated PG-13 and the second part R. Yes,anotherPG-13 Kevin Smith movie. There’s more after the jump.
Though Smith is obviously still polishing his script, the credits ofRed Statepromised the filmwould be released in 2012. That’s definitely still a possibility with the speed that Smith shot, edited and releasedRed State.If you want to know Somebody: the cast, the story, the song, etc., we’ve written about it extensivelyat this link.
Speaking ofRed State, though, it just finished avery successful one weekrun at theNew Beverlyin Los Angeles, CA and will beon demand next weekso everyone will finally get to see what all the fuss is about. I went and checked it out again after my initial Sundance viewing and think that while Smith has improved the film in the months since with a bunch of nips and tucks here and there, I still stand bymy initial review. It’s a solid, interesting film.
Also, sorry to be cryptic, but I’ve heard we’ll be hearing some significant news about his TV shows soon too. There’s never a dull moment in the Smuniverse. Yes I just made that word up.
