Kevin Smith pitching HIT SOMEBODY to studios

Kevin Smith is one of my favorite writers in film today. Even in his most mentally void films, there is still a level of witty and clever humor. He really hit his stride with ZACK & MIRI MAKE A PORNO, which he is following up with COP OUT (which Smith has not written and is only directing). Unfortunately, COP OUT doesn’t look as good as we may have been hoping, but Smith is now trying to get the ball rolling on HIT SOMEBODY and get a studio attached.

Smith tweeted that he was on his way to pitch HIT SOMEBODY to Warner Bros. and many feel it is likely they will produce it. Smith has talked about how WB approached him about COP OUT and they supposedly like him a lot, so I wouldn’t be shocked if they want to be in the Kevin Smith business.

I genuinely hope HIT SOMEBODY is good, Smith seems completely convinced it will be. In fact, he has mentioned that if he was ever to make an Oscar contender, this would be it. We’ll see if that happens, but until then I’m very excited about its possibilities.
