Great news! The script for the first part of the movie has been completed! Kevin tweeted about it a few days ago and I’m very excited to see how this is going to turn out!

The script for Hit Somebody, Pt 1 is done. Now into second script. First part I’m calling HOME. Second part I’m calling AWAY. Fucking bliss.

Thanks to Jen from Movieline for sending me the link to this wonderful interview they conducted with Kyle during Sundance and how he got a role in another one of Kevin Smith’s projects.

“We shot for a few weeks [on Red State] and he came up and asked me if I could skate,” recalled Gallner, one of Sundance’s 7 Fresh Faces in Film. “He pulled me off to the side and said, ‘I’ve got this other movie and I’d like you to be in it.’”

Kyle is out and about at Sundance for “Red State” and he also attended friend Thomas Dekker’s parties for Kaboom! I’ve added some medium quality images to the gallery from all his sundance appearances and will replace them with high quality when I get the chance, I do apologize for the lack of updates. I’m trying to keep up with this as well as a few other busy sites. Please bare with me!

Kevin Smith’s latest film RED STATE has yet to make its premiere, but his other often spoken of film HIT SOMEBODY is also starting to take shape. Smith has already announced on his Red State of the Union podcast other casting news and he’s now come out saying that Kyle Gallner (RED STATE, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, JENNIFER’S BODY) is also cast in the new film. Gallner is said to be playing a Wayne Gretsky-esque type of character, which with Smith’s often audible love of hockey and Wayne Gretsky, it’s not surprising he’d want a character that possesses Gretsky’s attributes.

Smith is hard at work pimpin RED STATE before it graces the eyes of an eager Sundance crowd. HIT SOMEBODY was penned by Smith and based off a song by Warren Zevon. Smith has already cast fellow RED STATE alum Nicholas Braun in the upcoming film as well.

How’d you get involved with this project? Did you go through the audition process?

Yeah, it was your typical audition process. I got sent the script to read, I really liked the script a lot and a couple days later I had the audition and I ended up booking the role.

What scene did they make you perform? Was it anything with your co-stars?

I can’t remember, but I ended up getting to audition Brittany and they ended up having me and her get together and actually run scenes together. When I auditioned it was just me reading with the casting director, but when they auditioned Brittany, they had us go to this place and me and her ran a couple of scenes for like an hour or two.

So you were the first to be cast?

Yeah.
