Red State

9/8/09 – SCI FI Wire reported that Kevin Smith is still waiting to secure funding for his first horror movie, Red State.  "I had a conversation with Jon Gordon, the producer on it, a dude who was our guy for years and years at Miramax," Smith said. "The other day Jon was over, and he's like, 'What have you been telling people about Red State?' And I was like, 'That we don't have any money, that we can't find the money.' He's like, 'Why are you telling people that? That's not true.' I said, 'I don't see any Red State money. If I don't see it, if I've never heard of it, then how do I think that it exists?'"  Smith has been vague about the plot of his genre script, only that its horror would come from political fundamentalism taken to the extreme. Should Smith settle the miscommunication with Gordon, Red State could be his next film.
