Hit Somebody!

Ok! We all know that I’m a big Kevin Smith fan. That’s no secret. And neither is this… K.Smith is making a hockey movie.

Titled Hit Somebody, the movie takes place in Canada in the 70’s and 80’s, following a player that was told he would never make it because he didn’t have the skill.

But, what he does have is heart and fists. Dude is an enforcer, a player that we all can’t help but love from time to time.

Seann William Scott (Planet 51) has been tapped to star in the flick after K.Smith fell in love with him while making Cop Out.

Also rumored to be in the cast is former Green and Black Power Ranger, Johnny Yong Bosch.

K.Smith has admitted that the movie will not take place in the NHL, but in a fake WHA kind of league.

He has also said that he will find a way to get the most famous hockey dad in the world, Walter Gretzky, into the movie at some point.

The movie and story are being written based on the song Hit Somebody by Warren Zevon.

Hit Somebody is currently being written according to K.Smith’s very active Twitter feed, and he says that the plan is to start pre-production as soon as he is finished post-production on Red State.

As a K.Smith fan and a hockey fan I am jacked for this movie to happen. Check back for more posts, rumors and info as I can get it.

Hit Somebody is tentatively scheduled for a 2012 release.
