Kevin Smith To Direct 'Couple Of Dicks'

[Silent Brad]

Warner Bros. recently confirmed a date with director Kevin Smith. The View Askew auteur's next film, "Couple of Dicks", starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan ("30 Rock"), will go down January 29th, 2010. Teaming with a big wig studio is a departure from previous Smith films, which have typically been released under indie labels like Miramax and Weinstein Co. But with superstar Willis on board, you just can't skimp on the craft services and honey wagons. No word yet on the plot, but expect this comedy caper to be more of a mainstream product than previous Smith efforts, especially since he is not currently listed as a writer on this project. Robb and Marc Cullen have screenwriting credit; Robb of the TV series "Las Vegas," "Gary the Rat," and "Heist." Hopefully, Kevin Smith will add a generous helping of his "stank" into the mix in the form of gratuitous rude behavior and slanderous one-liners. C'mon, where else are kids these days going to pick up their new slang from, if not Kevin Smith films?

God, this is awesome news. Kevin and Bruce have been looking for something to do together for a while now according to Kev's Evening With DVD. Morgan and Willis seem like they'd work well off eachother. But I'm not so sure how I feel about Kev directing something he didn't write though. I just hope this doesn't put off Kev's next script, Red State.

This is the greatest article ever.

And I love Kevin Smith, so it's even better.

You mean The Dicks are back and they're making a movie instead of wrestling?

[YellowJacketY2J]

I'm excited for this (then again, I'm excited for anything Kevin Smith related). I too hope this doesn't put off Red State, as I've been very curious about that movie.

Hopefully this propels him into the mainstream.

Kevin Smith can direct? Who knew?

[Evilution E5150]

this could be interesting, mainly as he didnt write it so this will be a first

Oh boy, I can imagine what this movie would be called @ Wal Mart.

I've said it once, and I'll say it a million more TRACY MORGAN IS A MAD COMEDIC GENIUS. I don't know if he's more insane than he is genius but he's definitely both and DEFINITELY hilarious.

Also, as Hudson Hark continues to be my favorite Bruce Willis movie I'll be waiting for this with a stern impatience.

I could have went for the ...

But I didn't.

My favorite Tracy Morgan moment was from Late Show with David Letterman the first week it was back after his writers cam back from the WGA strike and Letterman asked Tracy what he was doing with the writers' strike causing 30 Rock to go on hiatus Morgan replied with "taking karate and impregnating females, that's how we do it!" the only thing better was Paul Schaffer repeating his "that's how we do it" line.
