10 Recently Announced Movies That Will Probably Never Happen
3. Tusks
On his Fatman Beyond podcast, Kevin Smith recently confirmed he's currently working on a sequel to his 2014 cult body horror film Tusk, which in the vein of Aliens he's simply dubbed "Tusks," with star Justin Long expected to return.
But if Kevin Smith loves one thing, it's hyping up sequels that either take years to get made or never get made at all. Remember Mallrats 2?
And while it's fair to say that Smith did recently get Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and Clerks III made, the sequel to an unhinged horror film that didn't turn a profit at the box office is presumably a much harder sell to investors than a franchise with a proven, in-built fanbase.
It goes without saying that Tusks wouldn't need a massive budget, but considering how much Smith loves to talk-up films that never happen - he's also just teased Red State 2 - it's sensible to take anything he says with a truckload of salt, as much as we love him.
