Nothing helps a hangover like a little hair of the dog, so as you shake off the cobwebs of this Halloween weekend here's one last jolt.
Kevin Smith has finished up his Westboro Baptist Church-inspired horror film, Red State, and has announced he'll be submitting for the film for entry into the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
The film, which stars Michael Parks as the Fred Phelps
stand-in, is described as "a horror film in which a group of misfits
encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America."
Smith announced that the film wrapped in October, and it required such little post-production work he had already screened a cut at the cast and crew wrap party.
I won't make any predictions as to the quality of the film, but I do suspect that some people will love it for deflating Westboro's mystique just a bit, some will hate it for contributing to the Phelpses' notoriety, and the Phelpses will probably organize some sort of protest around it. World keeps spinning.
