I'm excited that Kevin Smith's Fred Phelps-parody, Red State, is finally shooting. Apparently, Smith is excited too and he's letting his Twitter followers know all about it (he even shared the first image from the film there).
Smith has written that he's "halfway done" and the film should be ready for the wrap party. So how happy is Smith? Via Slash Film:
Via @thewoodyatt "Happy withNot that he'd tell us if he thought it sucked but I'm intrigued.RED STATE so far?" SO fucking happy. There's not a weak link in this
bunch... #FilmmakingTheWayItShouldBe
The Phelps-based character is being played
by veteran character actor Michael Parks, a
favorite of Quentin Tarantino fanboys for his recurring
role as lawman Earl McGraw in Grindhouse, Kill Bill
and the From Dusk Till Dawn vampire movies. Bonus, Parks kind of
looks like the hate spewing preacher. John Goodman is in the cast too.
Red State's premise
is a bunch of kid encounter the "crazed preacher," who "gives a whole
new
meaning to the term 'extreme fundamentalism.'" Sounds like fun.
