All tag results for 'cop out'

Kevin Smith is itching for a celebrity feud.

The director behind the Jay and Silent Bob films, Cop Out, and Red State has some words for Bruce Willis.

In an effort to promote his new memoir, Tough Sh*t, on Twitter last week, Smith asked his 2 million+ followers a trivia question:

You might not know this, but Kevin Smith worked alongside Bruce Willis in that awful movie, Cop Out.

We kid, we kid. We can't comment on the movie since we've never seen it. (Then again, no one else did either! Right Ricky G?!)

Anyway, so this movie has been out and in the bargain bin for awhile, but while being interviewed for a podcast at Sundance yesterday, Kevin Smith was asked what it was like to work with Bruce on the movie.

Kevin didn't hold back. He explained:

"It was difficult. I’ve never been involved in a situation like that where one component is not in the box at all. It was f*****g soul crushing. I mean, a lot of people are gonna be like, ‘Oh, you’re just trying to blame the movie on him. I had no f*****g help from this dude whatsoever."

Ouch! Maybe he thought since he was the biggest name in the flick he had the right to act all divash.

He was wrong to do so, but maybe that's what happened.

Bruce, care to comment?

P.S. - You know who Kevin said was a total professional though? Tracy Morgan! How about that!

Looks like the sting is still there from his last movie.

After critics bashed Kevin Smith's action-comedy Cop Out, the director seems to have taken a serious aversion to the press, and he's refusing to do interviews to talk about his upcoming horror movie Red State.

Here's what he had to say about his decision on his Twitter page:

"I'm not press-junketing at all, anywhere. In fact, I'm not doing any press outside of maybe a business piece or 2 to help sell the flick if needed, & radio (LOTS of radio)."

In lieu of interviews, Smith will provide the world will all the deets on his upcoming movie via podcast.

More from Kevin about the podcast:

"It's INSANELY detailed, and by the time we're done, I'll have pre-answered all questions about RedState — thus negating the need to speak with me about it.

From nearly 20 yrs experience, I know this much: folks are gonna write WHATEVER they want, whether I sit down with them or not. So I'll just furnish all the information I'd normally serve up one at a time to a small, jaded audience that doesn't really give a s–t unless there's someone famous in the room, to a much larger, APPRECIATIVE audience that would actually enjoy & benefit from hearing the same information."

Inneresting concept, Kevin. Guess we'll see how it plays out.
