However, all of a sudden, Red State appears to be back on. Earlier this year, Smith had investigated fan funding for the film, but nixed the idea seemingly due to tax issues (amongst others). But yesterday, he revealed via the magical world of Twitter that things are pressing ahead. “I talk about lots of stuff I wanna do that either happens years later or never happens at all. Happy to report RED STATE is not the latter,” he posted, before adding, “Looks like we start shooting this July. Took nearly three years, but we’re finally gonna roll on RED.” It’s unclear where the funding has come from, but somebody has clearly stumped up the cash. We’ll keep you posted. See also:
