The Weinstein Co.

Showtime Networks and The Weinstein Company just announced a 7-year exclusive deal that will see some pretty interesting shows and movies being made. None more interesting, we think, than Scream 4.

The Weinstein Company continued to make sure that very few horror films slip through their grasp this weekend with the acquisition of three movies from French sales house The Wild Bunch, according to a story in Daily Variety.

Now this is just weird. Maybe The Weinsteins can’t see Kevin Smith as anything more than a comedy machine, but something has made them pass on his upcoming horror film, Red State, according to the Silent Bob Speaks blog.

Though many people who aren’t as embedded in this genre as much as we are may not understand it, there are many different levels of "horror". One of the truest and yet most dividing kind of horror is the kind that can and does take place in everyday life, though for the sake of fiction and "entertainment", as it were, its usually taken to an extreme.

It may not be the horror movie he keeps saying he’s going to do next, but according to Production Weekly Kevin Smith is inching closer to our genre with his next gig.

Doesn’t it seem like The Weinstein Co. has acquired the rights to way too many films in the last few weeks? Seems like every other day we’re announcing another of their acquisitions, from Black Sheep to All the Boys Love Mandy Lane.

Yet more from Kevin Smith on his proposed horror film showed up over on Aussie site Moviehole today, as Smith was just in the Land Down Under to promote Clerks 2. One of Moviehole’s reporters was in attendance for Smith’s appearance, where he was, of course, barraged with inquires about the horror film he plans to make next.

I know everyone’s either really excited, cautiously optimistic, or downright impassive about the idea of Kevin Smith making a horror movie (read the first story here). Does he really have what it takes to scare us, or will it be another dialogue-heavy snooze fest?

A reader just dropped us a line with the heads up that something very strange might be going down in Kevin Smith’s View Askew universe soon.
