Moose Jaws (D: Kevin Smith) -- it's exactly what you think

This would be part 3 of his Canada trilogy, with Tusk, Yoga Hosers, and the finale Moose Jaws
http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/07/29...eats-a-little/
"in regards to Moose Jaws, Smith said, “That’s just Jaws with a moose. And it’s awesome. There’s a scene where the moose’s eat, I’m halfway through the script, there’s a scene where a moose is eating like a nine year old kid right out of the lake and stuff.”

He also mentioned during the Q&A at Fantastic Fest that Jay & Silent Bob may appear as well

Tusk is getting stellar notices. This guy is a real talent.

Re: Moose Jaws (D: Kevin Smith) 2016, its exactly what you think



The journey to ‪#‎MooseJaws‬ begins today! I'm in Canada to scout locations for the final film in the ‪#‎TrueNorthTrilogy‬ - and the first one we'll shoot in actual ‪#‎canada‬ IRL (@tuskthemovie & @yogahosers were shot in ‪#‎northcarolina‬ & ‪#‎california‬)! This is probably the stupidest of all three of my ‪#‎MidlifeCrisisMovies‬ and also my favorite script I've ever written. Why? a) It's very simply ‪#‎Jaws‬ but with a moose instead of a shark, and b) #MooseJaws features the cinematic return of @jayandsilentbob! It's a mashup of my movies as the ol' ‪#‎Askewniverse‬ meets the ‪#‎SMuniverse‬ (the ‪#‎SModcast‬ universe) - in Saskatchewan of all places (birthplace of ‪#‎WadeWilson‬)! Jaws was the first movie to capture my imagination and make me a movie geek. But nobody will ever ask me to make a Jaws (with good reason)... However, nobody can stop me from making a #MooseJaws. Before you leave this world, find a way to make all your dopey dreams come true, Kids (so long as it doesn't physically hurt anybody) - otherwise, what are you doing with all that limited time you've been given? Dream big and dream stupid (the stupid ones are the most fun to dream and, ironically, the easiest to make real). Oh, Canada - after 22 years of trying, I finally get to make one of my movies deep inside of you! With a bloodthirsty ‪#‎Bullwinkle‬ no less! We start in July with ‪#‎Mallrats‬ sequel to follow in the fall (I thought we'd be doing ‪#‎mallrats2‬ now but moose money manifested first)! ‪#‎KevinSmith‬ ‪#‎KevinSmithMovies‬ ‪#‎tusk‬ ‪#‎YogaHosers‬ ‪#‎jayandsilentbob‬ ‪#‎jaymewes‬ ‪#‎CampAntlers‬ ‪#‎reginasaskatchewan‬

What happened to Mallrats 2? I thought he had a mall that had a time slot for them to film. Or was the whole thing just one big goof?

I've been wondering the same thing. Last I remember seeing he said they were supposed to shoot this past January. Someone on IMDb said it is now targeting for October.

"my favorite script I've ever written"...which Kevin Smith has NEVER said about any film he's about to shoot.

I wouldn't be shocked if MALLRATS 2 and CLERKS III never, ever happened. Kevin just can't get big studio support anymore - he's made too many bombs. The movies aren't getting made yet because he can't get financing.

I actually think this sounds like it could be fun.

Neither of those films would require a big budget and he could easily kickstart either if he wanted OR needed.

And I assume know the bolded as fact correct?

I'm almost positive that Smith could get backing for Clerks III or Mallrats 2 if he wanted. His last few films have been more experimental and I think the main reason he's used Kickstarter is because they're more out there films that are probably harder sells.

He hasn't.

I took what I read here as he used it because I thought I remembered reading he used it before for these films. My mistake for not double checking.

I got confused because of the proposed Kickstarter for Clerks III that he shot down.

Re: Moose Jaws (D: Kevin Smith) 2016, its exactly what you think

The Weinstein Company owns the rights to CLERKS III, but refused to fund it for the $6 million that Smith asked for. However, he's said he made enough from TUSK (or at least got enough financiers interested) to fund CLERKS III...but that money seems to have gone elsewhere (YOGA HOSERS and MOOSE JAWS, perhaps), since CLERKS III hasn't happened yet? And, as he said himself, he's still working on getting financing for MALLRATS 2.

I often wonder if Smith has burnt some bridges with studio heads in ways we don't know about.

Did Yoga Hosers even get a release?

It's been or almost has been a year since all of the stars were posing their pics with the "two" indicating Mallrats 2 was going to be next.

At this point he, if it really is all about financing, should crowdfund a good chunk of the film. I don't care about any Kevin Smith project that is not Mallrats 2 or Clerks 3 at this point. Everything after Clerks 2 has been garbage.

What a strange, strange turn his career choices have taken ... I guess he's having fun and paying the bills, so that's what matters.

That said, I thought Red State deserved more credit than it got. Tusk was better than I expected (not sure that I would say it was good, but the Johnny Depp stuff was great).

Not excited for MooseJaws. Not that excited for more Clerks or Mallrats either. He has lost the magic he held early in his career -- it is something that happens with age. Your life changes, your views and values change, and your creative outputs change. You can see a similar pattern with Spielberg's body of work. The big difference is Smith tried to hang onto "the old world" and hasn't found his path to growth as Spielberg did.

I heard a rumor that William Shatner was going to be in this--if so, I'm in. (Also Jay and Silent Bob is rumored to be in it too--if so, I'm double in.)

Update: this thing might still happen.

http://www.slashfilm.com/moose-jaws-update/

During a Q&A on the Fatman on Batman podcast, Smith said, “Moose Jaws, we have money for it. Isn’t that crazy? That just happened in the last two weeks and stuff…More when I know, and I’ll know very soon.”
