Kevin Smith's Gonna HIT SOMEBODY - With Seann William Scott!!
Merrick here...
In over a decade of covering entertainment on the Internet, I can say with certainty that I've never linked out to the National Hockey League at all - most certainly not to cite entertainment news. Nonetheless, there's a first time for everything...
Kevin Smith talked to NHL about hockey, and in the course of the conversation revealed details about an upcoming project - the hockey-centric HIT SOMEBODY - offering NHL.com an exclusive insight into the film's casting.
Smith revealed exclusively to NHL.com that Seann William Scott, who worked with Smith on "Cop Out," will play Buddy, the title character in "Hit Somebody." The script, based on a Warren Zevon song with lyrics by acclaimed writer Mitch Albom, is a story of a hockey enforcer who strives to score just one goal in a hockey game.
...says NHL HERE.
In case you're like me, and aren't terribly familiar with the Zevon song, here's a refresher. Since the movie's based on the song, I suppose this could be considered a SPOILER - but here's how it goes all the same.
HIT SOMEBODY
Warren Zevon, Mitch Albom - featuring Paul Shaffer and David Letterman
He was born in Big Beaver by the borderline
He started playing hockey by the time he was nine
His dad took the hose and froze the back yard
And Little Buddy dreamed he was Rocket Richard
He grew up big and he grew up tough
He saw himself scoring for the Wings or Canucks
But he wasn't that good with a puck
Buddy's real talent was beating people up
His heart wasn't in it but the crowd ate it up
Through pee-wee's and juniors, midgets and mites
He must have racked up more than three hundred fights
A scout from the flames came down from Saskatoon
Said, "There's always room on our team for a goon
Son, we've always got room for a goon"
There were Swedes to the left of him
Russians to the right
A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight
Brains over brawn--that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
Hit somebody! was what the crowd roared
When Buddy the goon came over the boards
"Coach," he'd say, "I wanna score goals"
The coach said, "Buddy, remember your role,
The fast guys get paid, they shoot, and they score
Protect them, Buddy, that's what you're here for
Protection is what you're here for
Protection--it's the stars who score
Protection--go and kick somebody's ass
Protection--don't put the biscuit in the basket just
Hit some, Buddy! it rang in his ears
Blood on the ice ran down through the years
The king of the goons with a box for a throne
A thousand stitches and broken bones
He never lost a fight on his icy patrol
But deep inside, Buddy only dreamed of a goal
He just wanted one damn goal
There were Swedes at the the blue line
Finns at the red
A Russian with a stick heading straight for his head
Brains over Brawn--that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
In his final season, on his final night
Buddy and a Finn goon were pegged for a fight
Thirty seconds left, the puck took a roll
And suddenly Buddy had a shot on goal
The goalie committed, Buddy picked his spot
Twenty years of waiting went into that shot
The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped too
And coldcoughed Buddy on his followthrough
The big man crumbled but he fell all right
'Cause the last thing he saw
was the flashing red light
He saw that heavenly light
There were Swedes to the left of him
Russians to the right
A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight
Take care of your teeth--that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
And here's the song itself:

I don't think it needs to be a movie. It's a great little story in the song. But it's told in four minutes. Perfectly. I don't know if I want this stretched out to 90 minutes.

Nice lyrical fuckup. That should be Cold-cocked.
Seriously, does coldcoughed even mean anything (other than what all of my coworkers seem to have this morning. Heyoooooo!). -
'Pushing Tin' was based on an article.

HORRIBLE. There will be far fewer laughs in this 90-minute movie than the 12-minute one SCTV made with John Candy knocking over some kid in a field.

I think this is awesome. And yes, I'm the stereotypical hockey lovin', beer swillin' Canadian.

...1 kev sure does tweet a lot bout hockey... 2 he should make a movie bout bein fat on airplanes... 3 all the main character has to do is go to LA and learn the Knuckle Puck from Keenan... hollywood need to give me Mighty Ducks Four! bring back Joshua Jackson and Keenan (i wonder what happened to all those other actors)
-
it's not a particularly good song. Sure, it's gravy for anybody that loves hockey, but NO ONE ELSE WILL GIVE A SHIT. And hockey just isn't very popular nowadays. Seems like a vanity project that wasn't thought through.

... if its set in canadia, get Trey Parker and Matt Stone to write the canadian dialogue... "what are you talkin aboot? im not your buddy, friend!"... classic

He'll make his money back on the Canadian audience alone...guaranteed.

So Smith doesn't want to direct his own scripts anymore?
by knowthyself
Mmmm.
-
If Ethan Suplee magically lost all his weight and got muscles, I could see HIM as a goon.
Or maybe Chris Klein. His character from Election would translate really well to this kind of story.
Sean William Scott has too much of a whiny on-screen presence.
-
Am I Right? Still...not the worst idea I've ever heard.
-
Just FYI, Merrick and others who may be interested.
-
He may be overrated and makes essentially the same film over and over, but fuck it, they're still better than half the comedy drivel that comes out these days. That and I'll watch anything with hockey in it. I actually paid to see The Tooth Fairy in theatres. I'm that big of a walking Canadian cliche.
-
Maybe now I'm a little closer to seeing Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner at the movies.
-
...if Smith writes it and Scott is allowed to be a thug version of Stiffler. As for "re-imagining" Slapshot... no. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOO.
-
SONG....EVER....
-
you're a desperado
-
Cuz everyone is like "If it can't be better than Slapshot.... why bother?" And it's a valid point. Just hope Kevin Smith knows what he is getting himself into.
-
No chance. I said it before the tournament even started. They made some absolutely moronic decisions in picking players and making Broduer the #1 goalie was dumb as fuck. Who cares if he has a ton of Olympic experience? Ryan Miller had NONE before this year and torched his fucking ass. You play the best goalie CURRENTLY, which is Luongo, not Brodeur. Fuck experience. Fucking morons.
-
EAT IT CANADIANS! YOU LOST IN HOCKEY!
-
He really wants to do this movie... he is writing the script for it after he is completely done with Cop Out and going to go after funding (WB is going to look at it first supposedly) sometime late next month or into April.I think it has a lot of promise, we'll see
-
http://tinyurl.com/26ldvq
-
... but I don't mind being called a bandit of the American southwest though.
-
... expect it to be halved after Cop Out comes out.
-
But all joking aside, I can't believe this movie will get made after the other "hockey" movie bombed so hard.
-
I know! Luongo is obviously so much better than Brodeur! I mean, look at the stats! Brodeur is 34-20-3, with a 2.32 goals against average, and a .915 save percentage! Weak! Luongo, on the other hand, is 31-17-2, with a 2.35 GAA, and a .919 save percentage! The difference is obvious! With such stark statistical differences, OBVIOUSLY the intelligent decision would have been to bench the greatest goaltender of all time!
-
Just surpassed its budget and will turn a profit. So it's not like hockey automatically dooms the movie to failure (lol, fuck you Myers you hack).
-
Stats don't tell the whole story (not to mention his career stats were greatly skewed by playing on a trap oriented team his entire career). Brodeur has been a complete and total failure during the playoffs ever since the lockout ended. Did you not see his epic failure last year? Besides that, when he was injured last year the team's BACKUP GOALIE came in and played better than Brodeur. Brodeur is washed up and coasting on his past accomplishments and being on a great defensive team.

He's already making a new film? But his new one hasn't bombed ye
by mike_d
At least wait until it bombs. jeesh.
-
Washed up and coasting on past accomplishments. Gotcha. His save % since the lockout is .922, .920, .916 and .915. I think most teams would take that.
And I wasn't talking career stats, but since you brought it up, playing on a great defensive team may have helped his GAA, but not his save percentage. Besides, most serious hockey fans realized the whole "Brodeur is a product of his system" argument was bullshit years ago.
Brodeur had one bad game, and even then, except for one goal (possibly two), it wasn't really his fault. You're going to blame him for Crosby deflecting the puck past him? If it wasn't for Brodeur, Canada would have lost to Switzerland. -
He is the chosen one who will bring balance to the Force.
-
He is a product of his system. He'd have still been a great goalie on other teams, don't get me wrong, but he wouldn't even be held in the same breath as Roy/Hasek if he was on any other team than the Devils. He's still a great goalie now too, but he's past his prime and Luongo is now the better of the 2, in my opinion. Unfortunately for Canada, the best goalies in the world are now on MULTIPLE other countries. Miller, Lundvist, and Vokoun (though I'm generally alone in thinking highly of him) are currently better goalies than anything Canada has, if you ask me. Even Russia's goalies are as good as Canada's. The one mega strength Canada was supposed to have in this tournament was defense and that has looked completely laughable at times.

Always found it to be a bit of a sideshow, like rodeo clowns.

Unless it's got a $10 millions budget.What happened to the SCOOPS on this site?Al we get our poor film reviews-NEVER ANY sneak peaks or scoops at all!

not sure about seann william scott tho..hes funny and everything but i was hopin this movie would be a little deeper than just a screwball comedy
-
everytime I hear that song I always pictured Kevin Durand... probably because of Mystery, Alaska

Poor fat self-loathing douche. Quit smoking weed, you're causing a nationwide Combos pretzels shortage!

It's just that sometimes you've just got to HIT SOMEBODY. Say you're, hell I don't know, Wayne Gretzky. You're out there being the fuckin' Great One and Eddie Shack flies out of a temporal rift, onto the ice, and knocks you on your ass. Now you're Gretzky and all and that's cool, but you're 6', 185lbs of pure scoring ability-you can't afford the broken hand or 5 in the sin bin. You're no fighter. But Dave Semenko is. And Dave Semenko says you aren't allowed to touch Wayne. Ever. And Dave Semenko will kick the living shit out of anyone who does, regardless of time-travel abilities. The fights are all about sending very clear messages to your opponents, whether it's "Don't touch our talent" or "We're down 5 points but we still ain't your bitch" or "That check was a little bit much, let's discuss it". They're an important part of the game, and can put a lot of momentum back on your side
-
One problem with the whole "Brodeur is a product of the system" argument:
Brodeur has been the Devils goalie since 1993. Since that time, the team has had 9 different coaches. Brodeur won 3 Stanley Cups with 3 different coaches, over a nine year stretch. Needless to say, their have been many different players on defense during Brodeur's 17 year run. Isn't it amazing that, despite all these changes, the Devils defense has been amazing for 17 straight years? At some point, don't you have to acknowledge that Brodeur is less a product of the system, than the system is a product of Brodeur? Finally, you say that Brodeur wouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Roy/Hasek if not for the "system." I don't recall the rules of the game ever being changed because of Roy and Hasek's dominance, the way that the NHL changed the rules on a goalie's handling of the puck due to Brodeur, aka the "Brodeur Rule."
Also, Brodeur banged his hot sister-in-law. For that alone, he commands the greatest respect. -
...no wonder there is a world food shortage. What do you call Kevin Smith and Harry Knowles on the same airplane? Grounded.
-
I like Kevin Smith so I'm totally on board with this one. Nobody, I mean fucking NOBODY, has made a hockey move in over 30 goddamn years that's actually worth a fucking damn. Even the Slap Shot direct to DVD sequels are fucking embarassing. So give Smith a shot, cause we need one very badly (Christ, there's a new baseball movie every 5 years, new football movie every 2 or so.) Hockey is one of the more cinematic sports, moreso than baseball, so it'll make a good flick. Also, fighting in the NHL is bullshit and totally not "a part of the game" because you'd see them fighting all the time, but notice now nobody has gotten into a fight at the Olympics? Then how is it a "part of the game"? Also, Brodeur made some real wacky way-out-of-his-net moments last night but it's only upping the drama for Team Canada to win gold.
-
Will get your ass suspended. International rules =/= NHL rules
-
No, Roy/Hasek never caused any rule changes (unless you count the foot in the crease fiasco with Hasek, lol), but practically every goalie in history since the 90's has copied pieces of both Roy's butterfly style and Hasek's unorthodox style. Both were pioneers in goaltending technique, much like Brodeur for puck handling, which clearly not even Brodeur himself can do right half the time (lol what a tool last night). As for the system stuff, everyone knows that even with the coaching changes New Jersey stuck to the trap oriented style and limiting shots to the outside throughout much of Brodeur's career (abandoned it slightly when Sutter was coach).
-
Seriously, the instances of fighting go down to, like, maybe 3 fights overall in the entire playoff series across the league right to the Stanley Cup playoffs. If it's such an integral part of the game, why don't they just fight constantly, including playoffs? Besides, hockey fights universally blow. All they do is spin around and punch each other in the ear. It's so lame. I want to watch a hockey game, not a really weak fight.
-
To see Kevin Smith and Sean William Scott beat weach other into piles of coagulated blood with hockey sticks.If that's not what this film is about then I'm not interested.
-
But I don't want Kevin Smith fucking it up.

When you can get lower level seats at a Tampa Bay game for $35 and get a free parking voucher and free food and drinks just to get asses in seats, there is no way people will watch this movie. Sure , it'll do great in Canada, but when 7 NHL teams are on the brink of bankruptcy, what the fuck does that tell you? I admire Kevin Smith for taking a shot at making something other than an ass-backward romance with dick and fart jokes but now is not the time to try and pull this off. While Gary Bettman is obsessed with selling hockey in the States it simply can't happen.
-
she got hit in the head with a hockey puck? ouch......

and nobody saw that.

Smith should make a comedy about a fat guy having the worst day of his life, culminating in being told to exit a plane. He then completely snaps and takes the plane hostage.I'm not joking, I would see that movie!

Oh, wait, that league folded. Same with the XFL. And the WNBA is really tearing it up. And let's not forget just how interesting golf is. Sure, American's don't like sports that suck. Right.

What was that about all the sports that Americans like don't suck? You really think you can defend that POV with fucking NASCAR? I mean, really? Or are you just really fucking retarded. I mean, it's fucking NASCAR.

Oh, wait...Too late.

Ever notice how whenever greatest sports movies of all time are mentioned, Slap Shot is always always always in there? Or are you as stupid as you seem. Y'know, I've seen some apporpriate talkback nicknames in my time, but yours takes the fucking cake. Cause you really are a retard, Geektard.

Fucking
RETARD! -
A concept that makes me want a reboot of something. If this is originality...
-
It should be Werewolves of London. I'd plonk my ticket money down for that, good buddy.
-
You can hate all you want on NASCAR, but it isn't going away. I for one will keep raising hell at the track, drinking cold beer and having a good time. Watch out, the Rednecks are everywhere!
-
Will this be pushing it to the back burner? I really want to see what Smith does with a Horror movie.
-
Since when did it take any athletic ability do make a left hand turn for 4 hours? Nascar appeals to the masses of idiots who realize that they also can drive around. Just because you put a stick in some rednecks hands does not mean he'll be able to skate at 30 miles an hour, stop pinpoint and then fire a puck at 100 miles an hour with a surgeons touch top corner. Beer-pong is more of a sport than Nascar.
-
The unofficial biopic. This could be sweet, I hope he bangs Elisha Cuthbert and then gets into a bitter off ice feud with a douche Calgary Flames defenseman. Hell if Scott cuts his hair short he'll even kind of look like the prick.
-
Fuck this talentless, stoned fat-ass. He's nothing more than a late show punch-line at this point.

It's why they keep him out of the trailers for Cop Out as much as possible. And don't give me Role Models. That movie was Rudd and McLovin' with Stifler stalking around in back cursing with a little kid. He's hardly a lead actor and the public can't accept him as anything other than Stifler. Pair him up as a leading man with Kevin Smith and I predict the movie will make about 6 million domestic if they give a free blowjob with admission. Without the blowjob, this will be lucky to go straight to Starz.
-
What next, Youngblood?
-
I have always thought Slap Shot was overrated.
-
According to IMDB Slap Shot and Youngblood are being remade and slated for 2012.
-
Still prefer to see a Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner film.
-
Andrew Koenig, who played "Boner" on Growing Pains, is apparently missing. Random post, I know. But then it's a random story worthy of random spreading. Koenig, I'm reading, apparently played the Joker in a fan film called Batman: Dead End, and Kevin Smith and Alex Ross agreed it's Batman the way you've always wanted to see him. I had no idea. Anyways...we're all just floating...
-
Go make your own fucking movie. No? Then shut the fuck up. He's not the greatest filmmaker ever, but he was once like us. Only he made it happen. You just bitch. And criticizing Kevin Smith for making the "same movie over and over"? Have you never seen a James Bond film?

Kevin Smith stars as himself in a movie where he gets super fat and stops even the attempt of making a good film.

So is open wheel just because the wrecks are better. Let's be honest here nobody watches NASCAR for racing strategy but for the wrecks. Oh sure they'll say all the right things but reality is big crashes=big interest.

I'm a die hard Kevin Smith fanboy, but I really wish Smith would stop talking about this film, and that the press would stop covering it. Smith himself has said he's got *NO* script written yet and *NO* studio is currently backing it. He's also said Warner Bros. MIGHT be interested in making it if Cop Out is a hit. This entire project is currently nothing but Smith's wishful thinking. It's 2010's Red State.

Start eating right and get a personal trainer--you have no excuse for being such a massive lardass. You have more money and time than you know what to do with, so instead of making another piece of shit movie how's about you set aside two months to lose 20 pounds? It's a start anyway. Maybe cutting out the weed and donuts would help your writing too. Might make a watchable film again someday. Fuck it: just take a year off to workout--you get fit and we don't have to hear about any more painful new Kevin Smith films for a good twelves months. It's win-freakin'-win, fatboy!

He has no funding yet, hasn't finished the script and hasn't even signed Sean W. Scott officially. Just more blabbering from a guy who loves to be in the news. -

Dr Mr Smith....Stiffler is done, didn't anyone tell you?
by slimbutnotreally
Sean William Scott is bad....real bad. He's the last resort when you can't get guys like Will Ferrell, Seth Rogan, or hell, even Ben Stiller. You didn't actually START here, did you? I mean...no one WANTS him in their movie...they're just left with no options.
-
First he says that Hit Somebody will be a movie he thinks will win Awards during an MTV interview. LOL, Kevin Smith Oscar Winner!
Now in this article he is saying this will elevate him and Sean W. Scott to Tom Hanks status. I like SWC, but please, if anyone is going to elevate him it isn't going to be Smith. -
Based on how you described it, it sounds like Kevin Smith was joking.
-
Here is the quote...
“I never once thought about winning awards or anything, but that movie I think can do it,” he said. “If I play my cards right and we get the right people in it, it could be an award-type movie.” -
Smith knows he's an untalented hack who got lucky. Scott however has talent. Who knows where he'll end up.
-
Then that makes Kevin Smith a DELUSIONAL untalented hack who got lucky.
-
He definitely sounds sincere in speaking about it being an award winner. It is at the very end of the interview...

After this, I'd be up for David Lynch's Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner; Ed Harris's Renegade; Spike Lee's Lawyers, Guns and Money; Danny Boyle's Werewolves of London; Tim Burton's I'll Sleep When I'm Dead; Zak Snyder's Ourselves to Know...yeah, I can see this. DO IT, HOLLYWOOD.

... and send his Hugh Jass back to Jersey! Oh, yeah. That won't work. Is he too fuckin' heavy for freight by rail too?
-
I think Mark Strong will make an excellent Sinestro and I'm looking forward to the GL movie very much.
-
plz get him some long pants.
-
but it was surprisingly awesome, even though I don't even like hockey. Now I'm almost look forward to this movie (even though I don't even like Kevin Smith or Seann William Scott). Now if someone will just be kind enough to adapt "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" into a movie.
-
Tracy Morgan is very annoying in the trailers. I think Kevin Smith has a bomb on his hand. Not a good month for Mr. Smith.
-
That's the most egregious use of two exclamation marks I've ever seen!!!
-
Definitely a rental or a matinee, but I'll see it.
I think Hit Somebody could be interesting. Say what you want about Kevin Smith, his ego, and his work: he puts himself out there completely. His level of investment in Hit Somebody is compelling to me. Also, I love the sport of hockey in movies. It bores me to just watch a game but movies it is the best and only. -
warren zevon, the man was an amazing story teller. no need to make this movie
-
You know it, I know it, let's just all admit it; this will fail as badly as Zack & Miri and Jersey Hurl. Smith had one trick, one trick, and it's a pretty good trick, but it's one trick, and he'll never escape it. His only recourse is back to the tried and true. Watch.
-
There's his next "film" title. Btw, how fucking HUMILIATING to be TOO FAT TO FLY!! HILARIOUS!!!

Last I checked, nobody forced you to eat 679,852 deep fried fat chocolate cake hoagies for a "late night snack." The only thing that makes you fat is eating too much. It's not a disease, it's a lifestyle choice.
-
Exactly what I said on the previous Kevin Smith is fat talkback.You don't pick your race and you don't pick to have a disease -- and people treat being fat like it's one of those.You don't pick to be asian and you don't pick to have leukimia. You pick to eat Burger King everyday or the aforementioned deep fried fat chocolate cake hoagies.

Never heard of this song before though.

The turgid sequel to HIT SOMEBODY in which the now fat, ugly, and drug addled Britney "Used To Be Hot" Spears is punched repeatedly in the face by reality.

"Buddy, the title character in 'Hit Somebody.'"
It's quotes like this that make getting up in the morning worth it. -

I've got nothing against Letterman and I don't boycott movies

based on who's involved. If I did, I would never watch any movie out of Hollywood, as I find most people in Hollywood, in front and behind the camera, detestable people. I take it on a case by case basis. From the description given, I can't tell if this movie is something I'd like. It depends on the tone that Smith takes with it. Will this be based in reality or will it be constant slapstick? I'll let you know in a year when we see the first trailer...
-
...the cruel, pathetic, so-called "movie fans" that post on this site? I've never witnessed such a large gathering of bitchy old maids in my life. Someone needs to lead you all into the nearest crematorium - promises of an ACTUAL platform to vocalize your bile on should be a sufficient carrot. Please, save some oxygen for the productive world.

There are a whole lot of diseases that one can get due to personal lifestyle choices. I don't know where the hell you're getting the impression that if you have control over something, that it's not a disease.

Kevin Smith's gonna HIT CONTINENTAL AIR WITH A LAWSUIT
by mrmysteryguest

Check her out at his website http://www.newsaskew.com/ at the premiere of Cop Out - what the hell happened to her? She suddenly looks middle-aged in a completely hideous, manly way! Putting a couple of streaks of purple in you hair doesn't hide botched surgery and a fugly puffy face droop. To go from pretty hot looking to middled aged tranny looking in a couple of short years is damn unlucky to say the least. Damn, no wonder smith's been so miserable for the last year or so - poor bastard!
-
Bought two seats.
-
...and I was surprised how much I liked it. Damn funny. Scott wasn't in the film much. But, Smith seemed to know how much to use each actor in Cop Out. Have faith he can do it again on this next flick.
-
strikes back a very underrated movie. very funny stuff.
-
personally write. i think the same thing about m night. they are talented. they just need to move away from their own scripts.
