Kevin Smith Talks Funding For Red State

Not long ago there was word on the street that Kevin Smith may have gotten his funding for his upcoming horror flick, Red State. Well.. it appears that everyone may have jumped the gun on that because yet again it appears that funding is still the problem. But it seems Smith is going to lock down and really try and make this movie.

Only now he is going to try and work with a smaller budget telling MTV, "One of the guys... who was making the flick with me was lobbying for a more expensive version of the movie. We weren't going to find [the larger] budget in a zillion years, so I went off and made 'A Couple of Dicks,' came back and said 'let's re-concentrate our efforts.'"

"Instead of pie-in-the-sky, just down-and-dirty. I made f---ing 'Clerks' for crissakes. I can't be the guy who's like, 'well I can't make a movie for less than $15 million.' I started my career that way and it's still how I feel."

So once again we come back to the money. Once that is locked we should see the movie finally get off the ground. "If money comes together for it, boom," Smith said, snapping his fingers. "We're ready to start moving forward. Script's all done, crew is on board, we just have to find our cast."
