Kevin Smith’s new movie confirmed to be horror movie Killroy Was Here
They said that the term ‘Kilroy Was Here’ ‘originated in American culture as graffiti during World War II as a bald-headed man with a big nose peeking over a wall with the fingers of each hand clutching the wall. Smith said the new film will be the first installment of a horror anthology.’
“This is a monster movie in the sense of a classic morality tale,” Smith said. “No one wants to see you spill the blood of innocents, but when someone crosses the line and goes bad, you get to make them pay in horrible ways, and the audience cheers. We wanted to make an anthology film in the vein of ‘Creepshow.’ Killroy is like the Golem, the Boogeyman and the Grim Reaper combined.”
Smith also has a screenplay already completed for Clerks 3, the second sequel to hits break-out 1990s indie made for just $27,000. Recent releases include Red State, Tusk and Yoga Hosers, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2016. He also has a Jay and Silent Bob reboot on the cards for 2018.
No idea on when Kevin Smith’s new movie will hit theaters, but he is notoriously quick on kicking his movies into gear, often editing as he goes along, so we’d expect to see this one roll out in 2018 at the absolute latest. Shooting will continue in Sarasota, Florida for the next few weeks.
