Yesterday, Kevin Smith revealed some details to SciFi about the space project he hopes to tackle after his horror film Red State. Smith was quoted as saying that he would be making a “science fiction superhero movie” based on “an original superhero” that he created.

“It’s stewing right now. I want to do it, though, and, God willing, it will star Seth Rogen.”

Some websites connected the dots to a project that Smith has been referring to for a few years as Ranger Danger. I contacted Smith to get clarification and here is what he said:

1. “I don’t think I’ve ever called it a ’sci-fi superhero movie’; I’ve always referred it a ’space comedy’.”
2. Smith also confirmed that the space film and Ranger Danger are two entirely different projects.

So there you have it. The only other detail we know is that at Comic Con he said that the film “will test [his] abilities as a visual filmmaker.”

    Is Rogan going to be playing another slacker dude but this time in space?
  • This will be great, I hope he has the budget for some good CG.

    I hope it's better than Spaceballs!

    another star wars reference heavy spoof ...clerks 3 epsiode one the farce menace. with j.mewes as the troubled anakin lead , Rosario with leia hair . however that looks like a viper so a galactica spoof would be welcome indeed provided it mocks up the old tv show, not the vague new one..

    oh wait... seth rogen to lead? pass..

    I used to think Kevin Smith had some class,,, it seems he just hires the same group of dorks for every film.

    Seth Rogen kills anything he's in.
    I wonder how long Seth's Jedi mind trick over Hollywood will last,,,
    (It only works on the weak minded, so It could last forever in Hollywood)
    I don't think I've ever seen such a no-talent take on the life Rogen has.
    Just disgusting.

    @ kevin smith

    please adapt 'sex and rockets'!!!!! at one point you were all about it, and i'm not sure what happened. it could be f-ing beautiful!

    anyone who doesn't know what the book is should check it out.

    Ranger Danger, I hope will be big budgeted...I could see Smith coming up with large scale sets and costumes on the cheap, then putting the money into action/stunts/special effects...being a massive Smith and Sci-Fi fan this couldn't be more exciting...I'm thinking this most likely will be his version of Spaceballs, hopefully avoiding Star Wars and focusing more on the Buck Rodgers/Flash Gordon type characters

    best comment in the history of the universe.
  • john
    i dont know why anyone gives Kevin Smith money to make a film.
    he cant direct, he cant write. his whole "career" is based on his success with clerks.
  • pat
    he can direct and write,oh lord can he write.

    I used to like Kevin Smith's stuff too especially Chasing Amy and Clerks but the last ten years he has made a joke of himself and has put out some pretty lousy movies.
