Kevin Smith has been talking about that elusive horror film again, and from his on words it sounds like he really wants to make it his next film. He says that he needs to stretch himself after doing comedies for so long.

"I've just been using acting as an excuse to not sit down and not write....I feel like I should do the horror flick because I've done seven comedies in 12 years, and I don't feel like a filmmaker most days; I just feel like a guy who makes those movies set in that universe. So if I really want to test myself or push myself, I'd try and make something completely out of my safety zone, completely out of my genre - that said, I've never tested myself, so why would I start now."

The quote comes from Coming Soon through HorrorMovies.ca.

Whatever you do in life you do tend to get stuck in your safety zone and it's when you're stretched out of that where you can do your most enjoyable and often most rewarding work. So here's hoping this is the same for Smith.
