Justin Long Teases Possible Tusk Sequel And Kevin Smith Backs Him Up
A new sequel may be in the works for Kevin Smith's strange and unusual film Tusk, according to the film’s star Justin Long (Jeepers Creepers, Barbarian).
The original horror comedy film, released by A24 in 2014, is a comedic and surreal journey populated by seafaring stories, captivity, body modification, and growing dread, all with a strong dose of the humor that Smith is known for in past projects likeClerks (1994) and Dogma (1999). The film launched with mixed reviews and an abysmal box-office performance, but has found many new fans via word-of-mouth and streaming platforms. Tusk was originally planned as the first of three loosely related films in Smith's True North series, along with Yoga Hosers (2016) and another as yet unreleased project, Moose Jaws. Long, however, has now mentioned a direct sequel to the first film during a conversation with Slash Film.
