Kevin Smith's 'JAWS' Movie (But With A Moose Instead Of A Shark) Has Finally Received Funding

ComicBook.com- Clerks and The Flash director Kevin Smith has promising updates for long-planned hockey comedy Hit Somebody and horror Moose Jaws.

Smith was asked about the long-gestating Hit Somebody and Moose Jaws — in the works since 2009 and 2014, respectively — during the Q&A portion of a live Fatman on Batman recording at the Scum & Villainy Cantina in Hollywood, California, where he frequently appears alongside co-host Marc Bernardin.

“Moose Jaws, we have money for it. Isn’t that crazy? That just happened in the last two weeks and stuff,” Smith said. “More when I know, and I’ll know very soon.”

If you’re not as big a Kevin Smith fan as I am, you may have not known that he’s been trying to make a ‘JAWS’ flick for like, four years now. Well actually, it’s a bit different than ‘JAWS’. It’s called “Moose Jaws’, and it’s just ‘JAWS’, but with a moose instead of a shark. ‘Moose Jaws’ is the third and final installment to The True North Trilogy he’s been working on since ‘Tusk’ hit theaters in 2014, ‘Yoga Hosers’ serving as the middle chapter.

‘Tusk’ is a horror film about a man named Howard Howe who abducts a podcast host, cuts his legs off, sews his arms to his body, and then sews him into a walrus suit made with the flesh of other dead human beings. It’s weird as fuck, probably the weirdest movie I’ve ever seen, and I don’t know if I could objectively call it “good” but I could say I loved it so much I saw it three times in theaters. I made Trent watch it this weekend and I don’t think he’ll ever watch a movie I tell him to ever again.

If you like super fucked up movies you’ll probably like it.

‘Yoga Hosers’, on the other hand, I’m not the biiiiggest fan of, but it wasn’t made for me. The flick stars Harley Quinn Smith (Kevin’s daughter) and Lily-Rose Depp (Johnny’s daughter) reprising their convenience store clerk roles from ‘Tusk’ to fight Bratzis (little Bratwurst Nazis) and it’s very purposely targeted at teenage girls, so if you’re one of those, check it out.

Now back to ‘Moose Jaws’, if things remain as they were, Harley Morenstein from Epic Meal will star, Harley Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp will reprise their roles once again, and best of all…these guys are back.

Smith and Mewes did a reading of a scene from the film a little over two years ago and if it’s any indication of how ‘Moose Jaws’ will be at feature-length, we’re in for a real treat.

‘Jay & Silent Bob Reboot’ starts shooting this Summer, and it looks like ‘Moose Jaws’ is now on deck. Can’t. Freaking. Wait.
