We’re not a thousand percent sure whether we’re terrified or deeply in love with the trailer for Kevin Smith’s “Tusk” (feels like both, to be real), but we’re certainly intrigued.
Smith wrote and directed the film, in which an often-screaming Justin
Long plays a podcaster who is captured by an eccentric (Michael Parks)
who is hellbent on turning him into a human walrus. As we’ve already
seen on Smith’s instagram, that includes yanking out his teeth and sewing his arms to his body to make flippers.
Smith introduced the trailer last night during his annual San Diego Comic-Con
chat in Hall H. As the story goes, Smith was inspired to write “Tusk”
after finding an ad about a man who offered free room and board, so long
as that boarder dressed up as a walrus on the regs.
“Six months after I got the inspiration on that podcast I was sitting
on a set shouting ‘Action’ and Justin Long was dressed up as a walrus,”
Smith said. “I proudly share with you a trailer for what I feel is like
the best movie I ever made.”
We’re especially into the part where Parks and Long literally scream back and forth at each other.
What do you think? Does “Tusk” top “Clerks” and Smith’s other
offerings? We’ll have to see. One thing is for sure: Weird walrus
nightmares ahead.
