Kevin Smith talks Red State

Kevin Smith is once again talking about his upcoming horror film Red State and has revealed its budget which is VERY cheap and as talented as Smith is kinda scares me. He tells Pajiba;

Red State needs to be cheap. Even the $5 million budget we’re looking for might be too much, in terms of return-on-investment. If I’m gonna get all experimental (or, at least, as experimental as I can get) in a genre in which I’ve never proven myself, with material that’s 180 degrees away from what I normally handle, it behooves me to be economical as fuck.

It’s simply the human, decent thing to do to anyone who’s gonna pony up the funds. The flick is not a home run by any stretch of the imagination; it’s the riskiest thing I’ve ever done (if I even get to do it). Based on that, I think less is more, in this case.

Needless to say I am quite excited to see what Kevin Smith can do with the horror genre but at $5million he is going to have his work cut out for him to do anything that isnt direct to dvd.
