The 4:30 Movie is a coming-of-age comedy that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local multiplex. But when one of the guys also invites the girl of his dreams to see the latest comedy, each...

In 2015, writer, director and podcaster Kevin Smith was lucky enough to play a voice in a Star Wars film, but Smith admitted he wasnt sure which stormtrooper he actually voiced. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Smith talked about doing voice work in J.J. Abrams The Force Awakens.

J.J. was kind enough to let me do a voice for a stormtrooper. And he had a bunch of lines written, so he was like I dont know which one youre gonna be. Just say all 10 of these, the Mallrats director recalled. Flash forward to when the movie was released, Smith said he got a little confused about which part he played.

If you’re a fan of director Kevin Smith, you’ve probably seen movies like Clerks, Mallrats and Dogma, but one of his films has hardly been viewed by anyone at all.

In 2022, Smith released KillRoy Was Here, a low-budget horror anthology, loosely based on the World War II graffiti meme, and made with a crew of Florida film students. But the movie didn’t come to theaters, or streaming services, or even Betamax, it was issued exclusively as 5,555 NFTs on the Legendao platform, meaning the film was unavailable to watch unless you had the special “crypto key.”

Two years later, it still hasn’t been made available anywhere else.

Even Smith fans seemed pretty miffed at this arrangement, which essentially prevented them from ever watching the movie without shelling out big bucks to some crypto company.

But going the Nft route wasn’t always the plan for KillRoy Was Here.

Two years have passed since Kevin Smith‘s horror anthology KillRoy Was Here made its way out into the world as an Nft – and to this day, the only people who have seen the movie are those who have either bought the Nft, been given access to one of the NFTs, or attended a special screening. Which means so few people have seen KillRoy Was Here, it could almost be described as Smith’s “lost movie.” Now, while speaking to Entertainment Weekly and promoting his new film The 4:30 Movie, Smith has revealed exactly how and why the movie became an Nft release.

Directed by Smith from a script he wrote with Andy McElfresh, KillRoy Was Here was made on a minuscule budget as a project with film students at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. The movie is a throwback anthology horror film featuring a...

The following contains spoilers for The 4:30 Movie, which is currently in a limited theatrical run.

Fans of podcaster, writer and director Kevin Smith usually know what to expect from his movies. Snappy dialogue, dirty jokes, pop culture references and what can only be described "Stoner Humor." However, this is not exactly what they'll get from his latest directorial effort The 4:30 Movie, filmed at Smith's childhood movie theater (which he now co-owns). Set in the summer of 1986, Smith's coming-of-age film centers around a group of friends as they grow up together and bond over their shared love of film.

Perhaps best known for Clerks and the characters Jay and Silent Bob, films in Smith's oeuvre all embrace a specific tone and style. His most recent efforts, Clerks III and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot can easily be identified -- lovingly or derisively, depending on one's view of the filmmaker...

The 4:30 Movie, the sixteenth feature film from director Kevin Smith, is now in theatres (you can read a review by JoBlo’s own Alex Maidy at This Link), and to mark the occasion we have decided to look back over Smith’s entire directing career and assemble a list of Kevin Smith Movies Ranked, from #16 to #1. This list doesn’t represent everything Smith has done; you won’t find movies he did uncredited rewrites on (like Overnight Delivery) or wrote for someone else to direct (Jay & Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie), or even the segment he contributed to the anthology horror film Holidays. For this list, we’re only covering the features that had him at the helm. And here we go…

KillRoy Was Here (2022)

While recording an episode of the Edumacation podcast, Smith and co-host Andy McElfresh “accidentally brainstormed a Christmas horror anthology” that would revolve...

It’s been 30 whole years since the release of Clerks, and Kevin Smith’s breakout slacker duo Jay and Silent Bob are still popping up in movies, TV shows and the occasional Degrassi-themed rap video.

At the end of last year, Smith revealed that he’s currently writing yet another Jay and Silent Bob movie, a follow-up to 2019’s Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which starred Smith, Jason Mewes and every working actor in Smith’s phone contacts.

While not much is known about the movie at this point, Smith recently took to Instagram to share a photo of one of the upcoming sequel’s props — an evil book, bound in human flesh, that resembles Silent Bob’s tortured face.

Obviously the prop is a facsimile of the Necronomicon from the Evil Dead series, just with a beard and a backwards baseball cap. Smith joked that it is “The...

Quick Links Tusk Marks A True Departure From Kevin Smith’s Usual Style Tusk Features An All-Time Great Michael Parks Performance There Was Still One Major Questionable Decision That Held the Film Back

Kevin Smith has proven to have staying power in the world of film-making whether his films reach large audiences or not. However, one of his least-discussed films came about during a period of his career most movie-goers would consider a “slump,” but Tusk itself would suggest that it certainly wasn’t a creative slump. Holding just a 46% Critics Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes -- and an even worse 36% audience score -- Tusk is one of Smith's lower-rated outings.

Regardless, Tusk offers a genuinely fascinating look into the work of a primarily comic director entering an entirely new genre, and it should be viewed as a success as far as creativity goes. While there are a few very...

The 4:30 Movie brings Kevin Smith back to his comedy roots with a New Jersey hangout story akin to Clerks and Mallrats. The film is set in the 1980s in a movie theater, allowing Smith to explore ripe joke areas and pop culture references. Like Clerks and Mallrats, The 4:30 Movie will be a hangout comedy set in one day, focusing on characters and relationships.

Kevin Smith has just secured a distribution deal for his next film, The 4:30 Movie, which is taking him back to his comedy roots with a New Jersey-set hangout story similar to Clerks and Mallrats. Set in the summer of 1986, The 4:30 Movie sees three 16-year-old friends – played by Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, and Reed Northrup – sneaking into various movies at their local theater over the course of a laidback Saturday. The conflict of the story involves one of these friends inviting the girl he likes,...

Wrestling's theatrics make it an easy transition to acting for some athletes - others, not so much. From John Cena to The Rock, wrestling superstars are making a mark in Hollywood with memorable performances. Dave Bautista stands out as a serious actor post-wrestling, showcasing versatility in various genres.

It's not uncommon to see professional wrestlers make it as big actors later in their careers, but some stand out more than others. The art of acting is difficult, but with wrestling being so scripted and theatrical, it makes sense that many of its athletes would also succeed as performers. From bone-crushing battles to silver-screen stardom, many wrestlers have left the sport behind to pursue a Hollywood lifestyle.

Of course, it's worth noting that not all wrestling superstars have been good actors. Being able to fake injuries and bodyslams doesn't necessarily translate to acting, compared to being able to cry on demand or build suspense,...

The concept of the Kevin Smith horror movie Tusk came out of an episode of Smith’s SModcast podcast in which he and his co-host Scott Mosier started out joking about the idea of a walrus-themed body horror movie and then, in the midst of the banter, Smith was inspired to actually make the movie. (And I’m very thankful that he did.) Smith’s horror anthology KillRoy Was Here started out in a similar way. It has its roots in an episode of the Edumacation podcast, where Smith and co-host Andy McElfresh “accidentally brainstormed a Christmas horror anthology” that would revolve around the child-eating creature known as Krampus. Smith and McElfresh wrote a script and were moving ahead with the film, which was first called Comes the Krampus! and then re-titled Anti-Claus, but then it got abandoned when Michael Dougherty’s Krampus movie was released. It only sat dormant...

We heard back in August that Terrifier 2 – which was a massive hit when it was released last year, earning $15.1 million at the box office on a budget of $250,000 – will be getting a theatrical re-release in November. Now Cineverse has confirmed that the movie will be reaching screens again on November 1st (a week earlier than previously announced)… and it’s coming back to the big screen with a special treat for Terrifier fans. Not only will there be a teaser for the upcoming sequel Terrifier 3 shown during the presentation, but the first 100 fans at each theatre will receive an exclusive Terrifier 3 poster!

For an indie horror movie that went out into the world unrated, Terrifier 2 was a massive hit last year, earning $15.1 million at the box office on a budget of $250,000. That success led to the first Terrifier getting a 700 screen theatrical re-release (the widest theatrical release Terrifier has ever received) – and now Cineverse and our friends at Bloody Disgusting have announced that Terrifier 2 will be celebrating its one year anniversary by returning to theatres! The nationwide re-release begins on November 8th.

Written and directed by Damien Leone, Terrifier 2 tells the following story: After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County where he must hunt down and destroy a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night. As the body count rises, the siblings fight to stay alive while uncovering the true nature of Art’s evil intent.

Famed independent director Kevin Smith recently opened up regarding his past issues with mental health, trauma, and healing. Hiring his friends to save money on his self-financed first film, Smith's Clerks broke the young New Jersey native into Hollywood. He followed his black-and-white comedy with Mallrats, a box-office bomb that has since become a cult classic. Smith's following film Chasing Amy became both a critical and financial success, leading to later hits, including Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Clerks II. The director has since found a new voice for discussing pop culture on social media, podcasts, and television shows.

Speaking with People, Smith opened up on challenges with his mental health stemming from past trauma and healing unseen wounds. "I'm in a weird, dark place," the Red State director told a friend before checking himself into a specialized treatment center last January. During his stay, Smith learned to face past traumatic experiences,...

Kevin Smith has detailed his latest health scare, revealing that earlier this year, he suffered a “complete break from reality”–and no, he’s not talking about writing a fourth Clerks.

On his mental health, Kevin Smith told People that he had a breakdown in January, even hinting at some seriously dark thoughts that went through his mind. “At that moment, I wouldn’t have been averse to not being around any longer. I called a friend and said, ‘I’m in a weird, dark place. I need to go somewhere and get help.’”

As a result, Kevin Smith checked himself into a treatment center to get professional help for his health. He also reflected on his time attending therapy sessions, although he initially felt a bit guilty since he was in a group that included people suffering from Ptsd. “In the beginning, it was tough to share when somebody...

The post Kevin Smith Partners With Nft Network Legendao To Release ‘Killroy Was Here’ appeared first on uInterview.

Kevin Smith returns to horror with the upcoming anthology film KillRoy Was Here, which originally began as a Krampus film before being re-written. The horror-comedy creature anthology was inspired by the “KilRoy Was Here” graffiti that was prominent during World War II, and at one point we had been expecting it back in 2021. Alas, […]

The post Kevin Smith Horror Movie ‘KillRoy Was Here’ Finally Releasing Soon… as Limited Nft appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Years in the making, Kevin Smith’s next film is finally getting released, but only a select few will get a chance to see it. The comedy-horror anthology “KillRoy Was Here” will be available exclusively via 5,555 NFTs.

The “KillRoy” NFTs will be available sometime in the next three months on the Legendao platform. They’ll include the movie, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, a commentary track, and exclusive art. Viewing access to the film will be unavailable to anyone else without the special “crypto key” the Nft provides.

At this time, this is the only planned distribution method for the film — Smith fans shouldn’t count on being able to catch it in a theater or on streaming.

Exclusive: Filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks) and his producers Jordan Monsanto of SmodCo and David Shapiro of Semkhor have partnered with Secret Network’s Legendao to launch NFTs of their horror anthology, KillRoy Was Here. Smith’s film will be the first in history released in this format, expanding the possibilities of what NFTs can provide in a quickly evolving entertainment business.

The film directed by Smith, from his and Andy McElfresh’s script, is a throwback anthology horror pic featuring a creature that kills evil adults at the behest of victimized kids. The movie itself—along with exclusive content from the film, behind-the-scenes footage, and a commentary track—will be launched as a 5,555-piece generative art Nft collection on Secret Network’s primary Nft minting platform, Legendao, which will collaborate with Semkhor and Curio, the premier Nft platform for entertainment brands, to produce the KillRoy Was Here collection.

This Nft...

Kevin Smith is getting into the Nft game in a unique way. The Clerks filmmaker is set to auction off his long-awaited horror movie Killroy Was Here as an Nft, or non-fungible token. This means that whoever wins the auction will have the rights to exhibit, distribute and stream the movie. So they can potentially turn the digital investment into a money-maker.

According to a new report, Killroy Was Here is set to be sold off to the highest bidder as an Nft. Details of the auction have not been revealed at this time. Jason Mewes, Harley Quinn Smith, Ralph Garmin and Chris Jerrico are among the cast members in the horror anthology. Smith had this to say about it in a statement.

Exclusive: Kevin Smith is looking to push the boundaries on indie distribution again and this time he’s auctioning off his latest horror feature anthology Killroy Was Here as an Nft (non-fungible token). The owner of the Nft will secure the rights to exhibit, distribute and stream the work, making it a means for whoever owns the movie to earn money outside of the blockchain.

“As an indie artist, I’m always looking for a new platform through which to tell a story,” said Smith. “And Crypto has the potential to provide that, while also intersecting with our almost 25 years of experience selling real world collectibles online and at the brick-and-mortar Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. Back in 1994, we took Clerks up to Sundance and sold it. Selling Killroy as an Nft feels very similar: whoever buys it could choose to monetize it traditionally, or simply own a...

For anyone who loves Kevin Smith (and it’s no secret that I’m chief among them), it’s been a bit of a wait for news on Killroy Was Here. Shot a few years ago, the horror anthology took a backseat to Jay and Silent Bob Reboot in the wake of Smith’s heart attack, but now, while doing a virtual version of his annual Comic-Con panel, it has revealed itself. Yes, Smith debuted a Trailer for the film, with hopes that it might be out either later on this year, or early next year. You can see the Trailer below, but first, a bit about what the flick is about! The movie is a horror anthology, loosely based on the Kilroy Was Here graffiti symbol from World War II.

Exclusive: Kevin Smith is reuniting with The Green Hornet in a new animated series.

The Clerks filmmaker has teamed up with kids producer WildBrain to develop a new series based on the classic superhero franchise.

Smith has long been a fan of the Green HorneT; in 2004, he was hired to write a feature film screenplay based on the character for Miramax. That project never materialized on screen – it was subsequently written by and starred Seth Rogen, directed by Michael Gondry and released in 2011.

However, the Mallrats filmmaker did turn his screenplay into a comic book series. He wrote the first four issue story arc of the series, which was published by Dynamite Entertainment in 2010.

Smith and WildBrain are developing the new animated series to target a family audience. The series will be set in contemporary times, following the adventures of a re-imagined Green Hornet and Kato – now the grown son...

Kevin Smith unveiled the trailer for his upcoming horror anthology film Killroy Was Here over the weekend as part of Comic-Con at Home, and I'm warning you now, it's pretty gory.

"Close the mouth that cannot tell... And send the monster back to hell." Every year, Kevin Smith hosts a big panel at Comic-Con on Saturday evening. But this year, with Comic-Con cancelled and taking place entirely online, Smith just live-streamed his panel from home. And he always brings a trailer to debut. Killroy Was Here is a horror comedy anthology film made by Kevin Smith. He filmed in late 2017 & early 2018 and it's finally getting finished and ready for release sometime in 2021. The various horror anthology stories are centered around the phenomenon of the "Kilroy Was Here" graffiti, about some weird bald dude with a big nose sticking over a wall. The ensemble cast includes Azita Ghanizada, Ryan O'Nan, Harley Quinn Smith, Chris Jericho, Justin Kucsulain, and Ralph Garman. This definitely looks like another Kevin Smith having fun with his friends & family kind of film. Not that scary, a bit weird,...

Once upon a time Kevin Smith had a dream to make a Krampus movie—a horror anthology film based around the anti-Santa Claus monster of Germanic folklore. But then Michael Dougherty went and made Krampus in 2015, so Smith had to improvise. Luckily this is the guy who made Clerks for $28,000—being creative with resources is kind of in his wheelhouse. Thus began the genesis of Killroy Was Here, an all-original horror movie that looks to be very much in the vein of one of Smith’s previous cult chillers, Tusk.

A film that Smith made in tandem with students at the Ringling College of Art and Design, Killroy Was Here has been a bit of an enigma for Smith fans over the years. Working from a screenplay by Smith and Andrew McElfresh, Smith and his crew of budding filmmakers began shooting in Sarasota, Florida in 2017. But after Smith suffered a heart attack that same year,...

It's hard to think of a better person to close out Comic-Con@Home's Saturday night festivities.

All in all, it was a great follow up to his Bill & Ted Face the Music panel from earlier in the day.

Iconic wrestler Chris Jericho and director Kevin Smith have appeared on each other's podcasts over the years, but now they're finally working together.

Feature film veterans Robert Molloy, Kristian Krempel, and Joseph Restaino have formed Florida-based Pinstripe Productions.

The company takes its name from Molloy’s affiliation with the New York Yankees baseball team as the grandson of longtime owner George Steinbrenner.

Molloy’s first film, the live-action “The Little Mermaid,” will open theatrically on Aug. 17 in partnership with AMC Theaters. The film stars William Moseley, Poppy Drayton, Gina Gershon, and Shirley MacLaine.

“I am excited to be involved in this new partnership with talented people that continue to make art that will last a lifetime,” Molloy said. “My first experience on ‘The Little Mermaid’ was a very gratifying and humbling one.”

While the filmmaker wouldn't offer any details about what scene is being shot in the photo, the filmmaker did comment on this story when the project was first announced in June. Here's what the director had to say below.

Ringling College of Art and Design just announced a partnership between the school and filmmaker extraordinaire Kevin Smith (Clerks, Red State, Tusk) for Kevin's latest project called Killroy Was Here. And according to Smith, the anthology will be a monster movie with grisly moments.

Press Release: "Sarasota, Fl, June 15, 2017 (Globe Newswire) -- Ringling College of Art and Design today announced that Kevin Smith -- iconic filmmaker, author, actor and director of Clerks, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and recent horror films Red State and Tusk; has returned to Sarasota to shoot the first installment of his latest horror anthology film Killroy Was Here.
