Kevin Smith Won’t Interview for RED STATE

By  | 

There’s not much you can’t learn about filmmaker Kevin Smith by following him on twitter (@ThatKevinSmith). Smith has now announced that he will not be doing any press — short of a few promotional bits, if needed — for his new film RED STATE.

Rather than repeatedly spewing the same answers to the same monotonous questions tossed at him from one interviewer to the next, Kevin Smith gives just about every answer to every question about RED STATE in an online podcast, which can be found at smodcast.com

In Kevin Smith’s words…

“It’s INSANELY detailed, and by the time we’re done, I’ll have pre-answered all questions about RedState — thus negating the need to speak with me about it…”

He continues…

“From nearly 20 yrs experience, I know this much: folks are gonna write WHATEVER they want, whether I sit down with them or not. So I’ll just furnish all the information I’d normally serve up one at a time to a small, jaded audience that doesn’t really give a s–t unless there’s someone famous in the room, to a much larger, APPRECIATIVE audience that would actually enjoy & benefit from hearing the same information.”

Written and directed by Kevin Smith, RED STATE is a horror film in which a group of misfits encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America. The movie stars Melissa Leo, Kevin Pollak and John Goodman. RED STATE is currently slated for a March 2011 release date.
