HIT SOMEBODY - Kevin Smith's Last Movie & It's Hockey-Themed - Blu-ray Forum

Offender_Mullet · 02-22-2010, 07:53 PM

..........Sean William Scott (a.k.a. Stifler). Ugh. I've never found that guy funny. He's another one of those actors who always seem to be playing themselves, but hopefully with Smith's strong writing skills Scott doesn't have his usual d-bag shtick this time around.

"Smith revealed exclusively to NHL.com that Seann William Scott, who worked with Smith on "Cop Out," will play Buddy, the title character in "Hit Somebody." The script, based on a Warren Zevon song with lyrics by acclaimed writer Mitch Albom, is a story of a hockey enforcer who strives to score just one goal in a hockey game."

Hockey movies are hard to do. If anyone can pull it off Kevin Smith, can. He's a serious "puck head" He was in Toronto a few weeks ago for a Wayne Gretzky ball hockey tournament, and was talking about this film on the local sports radio. If his script is good, it will survive the lead actor

Speaking of Hockey Movies....last nights USA v Canada matchup could've been a great underdog film

I like Kevin Smith movies........ it's his sense of humor that comes through in his writing (I must be his brother.... I find it hysterical and witty) but I have a pretty good feeling I won't be getting this one..... Stifler is usually a killing point for me.

You didn't enjoy Role Models? I thought it was funny and well done.

SWS has some good acting talent. I like his Stifler sense of humor, it seemed after American Pie his career fell apart but made a comeback with Role Models. I really think he's a cool dude and from what it sounds, he really wants to break into drama. He even admits he knows he's been typecasted and he really proved himself of respect in Southland Tales. He was the best thing about it, but alas the filmed failed because of it's convoluted script.

Haven't seen either of those, but I'll check 'em out. Oh wow that's cool he's admitted to knowing being typcasted. You don't see actors admitting to that type of thing too often. Now I don't hate him as much. lol

Smith is a HUGE hockey fan, so I'm not expecting a bad script from him. Slap Shot is still one of the best sports (not just hockey) movies ever made so I'm sure he'll pay good homage to that.....and won't make a movie like it's awful awful sequels.

Hedchekr · 02-22-2010, 11:18 PM

This will probaly be good. Smith is a fan of hockey, and Stiffler has made me laugh multiple times (Role Models, and his cameo in Jay and Silent Bob).

He's also got an appreciation for cinema. He says he wants to do a Christoph Waltz type of role in Inglourious Basterds one day and he said this movie is supposed to be like Forrest Gump style.

I wish him the best of luck, but I have no respect for Kevin Smith. He fails to mature as a film maker.

When Peter recently corresponded with Kevin Smith about recent quotes concerning the future of the filmmaker’s career, Mr. Smith said that he was about to announce the lead of his hockey comedy Hit Somebody. Indeed, today he posted the fourteenth episode of his Hollywood Babble-On podcast, during which he announced that Nicholas Braun, who was in Sky High and the 10 Things I Hate About You series, and also appears in Red State, has the lead in the hockey film.

You can check out the podcast here, about thirty minutes into which is where Kevin Smith announces the film’s new actor, and jokes about the fact that Seann William Scott was once set to have the lead:

Quote:

At one point it was Seann William Scott, and Seann William Scott apparently wanted to make a hockey movie real ****in’ bad… So he went to do another one, which meant we were star-less for a while, which was totally OK by me. But then I found so much of my Hit Somebody cast while making Red State, so…

The guy who’s going to play my lead, whose name is Buddy McKraken in the movie, is a fella who’s in our flick [Red State] and his name is Nicholas Braun. He’s this really great actor who I love to death and he is the perfect lead for this hockey movie, for this script, which is based on this Warren Zevon song

.

Smith also says that his Hollywood Babble-On co-host Ralph Garman will appear in Hit Someone (he also has a part in Red State), so that’s another little nugget of news. Kevin Smith says the film will hopefully shoot starting between July and September of 2011.

Awesome news that it found a new actor

Can't wait to see this. I love Smith so I'll be there day one, and Braun has been good in everything I've seen him in so far. Can't wait to see how he does in Red State
