Another WTF moment for me, but this one’s isn’t as appreciable as the last. Just saw some “leaked” trailer/teaser/thingy for the movie Red State by Kevin Smith and I have to outright say “BOOOOO”. Kevin has tasked himself with proving himself as a worth while film director in Hollywood and to graduate from his seemingly endless niche of being typecast as a film director. His first attempt was with the movie ‘Cop Out’ that took a seemingly competent and capable cast and developed a poorly receievd movie. Here’s a trailer for his directorial follow-up:
I can’t judge a movie based on its trailer, (not in good conscience), but this teaser thingy has done nothing to promote Kevin Smith as a movie director in my eyes. Idunno what’s going on or why but I must say that this teaser just seems outright amateurish. Almost as if the production staff is dying to get some approval from the masses and leak any ol crap that’s sitting in the film reel. Not a good look. At this point I’m hoping Kevin Smith has some more Jay and Silent Bob ideas in the back of his head so I can see something of his that’s enjoyable!
