Kevin Smith Teases Brand New Mystery Movie With Script Page Image

screenrant.com:

Director Kevin Smith recently teased a mysterious brand new movie with an image of the first page of the screenplay. Smith broke into Hollywood with the small independent black and white film Clerks. Shot locally in New Jersey, Clerks cost very little to make but wound up being a critical and box office success, kick-starting his film-making career. However, the writer-director found the path was not as smooth as he hoped, as each film he made brought its own challenges.

Smith followed Clerks with Mallrats, a cult classic today but a box office failure in 1995. Luckily, his next film, Chasing Amy, resonated with audiences and critics and firmly cemented Smith as a Hollywood director. His subsequent work fluctuated between varying levels of success, but Smith had cultivated a legion of die-hard fans along the way. Although reception has been mixed with the director's brief turn to the thriller genre with the film Red State and Smith flirting with the idea of retirement, his new movie tease has shown that he still has a few ideas left in him.
