I thought it best to cut the name short, but Kevin Smiths next movie will feature Bruce Willis.
I remember after seeing A threevening with Kevin Smith he did say Bruce wanted to do a movie with him after working with him on Die Hard 4.

Directed by Smith, starring Bruce Willis, Seann William Scott, Jason Lee, and Tracy Morgan.
Essentially its a Adult buddy cop comedy.

WARNING, THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE R-18, DO NOT READ IF YOUR A MINOR.

I suffer from chronic apathy, I was going to go see a doctor about it, but I don't really care.

The name has been changed to cop out.

Restricted preview, not for you kiddies.

Funny as hell.

Thanks DarthSion, you made my morning.

It looks watchable. I'm always wary when an indie director goes mainstream. Sometimes it's a success (Peter Jackson) and sometimes it's utterly botched (Gavin Hood). This flick looks nothing like a Kevin Smith flick. Smith can make a million dollars of film look like it cost $10,000 to make (ie. Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) but I kind of liked that about his stuff.

I like all involved here, especially Rashida Jones, so I hope it turns out.

Your welcome, Yeah I haven't laughed that hard at a preview in a long time, the stuff with monkeys, hitting the kid, the drawing on the glass window, and the knock knock joke had me in rolling on the floor.

I still can't get over Bruce Willis of all people doing a Kevin Smith movie, don't get me wrong I love KS, seen all his movies, but it just seems like a WTF Willis is doing a movie directed by the guy who gave us "donkey show".

Although its more Willis in a comedy, I mean the 2 whole yards movies he was a bit funny, but not really funny.

I tend to agree but Kevin Smith has had quite a few "mainstream" films. Or at least what I would consider mainstream.

Clerks
Dogma
Mallrats
Chasing Amy


I think of this as another Dogma style movie, lots of big names but in Kevin Smith style.

Dogma is the only one I'd consider mainstream, in that I saw ads for it, but I was speaking about how the movie looks. He's pretty much made cheap looking movies. The Chasing Amy scene in the stand at the hockey arena jumps out at me, it looks like a Saturday Night Live sketch. His last one, Zach and Miri, was the first one that looked like it had a real cinematographer working on it. But this new one looks like a serious Hollywood movie. I was shocked. I wasn't getting at the distribution of his stuff as much as the vibe they gave off.


I saw Mallrats in the theater, loved it, and still do. That "uncomfortable place" joke still makes me laugh :laugh: It's a great movie, and made mini-stars about of Lee and Suplee, and Claire Forlani was about as beautiful as any woman I ever saw in a movie.

Okay, I'll admit, I laughed out loud at that and I'm far too cynical to ever laugh at trailers. I'll mark this one down as "To See."

Kevin Smith is a director I like, though he tends to write some of the most unnatural dialogue ever heard in movies. Even the dumbest characters have the improbably vast vocabularies, and it bugs me, but not to the point of not liking the movies. Dogma is one of my favourite movies ever.

Well, you'll be happy, he's just directing this, not writing it.

I should watch Dogma again, it's been a few years...

Yes, I did notice that the characters weren't speaking in paragraphs, though I just presumed they'd kept the longer dialogues out of the trailer.

I think Willis is doing this as a favor to Smith. I love Smith's movies, but his "commercial" movies (Jersey Girl, Zack & Miri) make less than his "indie" flicks :laugh: (a joke, nobody bother fact checking please) So, I think this is a slow lob over the plate so that Smith can hit a homerun and build up some credit in Hollywood. Then maybe he can do more "Kevin Smith" stuff again.

He did a great job with the Reaper premiere two years ago, so I think he can handle this flick too.
