Kevin Smith‘s Red State is a project that has been known for a while, but has never had any luck in moving forward as a movie. Smith is obviously best known for his work in comedy and he has also done some drama in titles like Chasing Amy and Jersey Girl, but Red State promised to be very dark and not at all easy to sell to a mass audience, making it unappealing to financiers.

For a while it looked as if Red State would never be made; Smith moved on to direct Zack and Miri Make A Porno and most recently, Cop Out. At present time, the director was getting ready for his hockey movie with Sean William Scott, Hit Somebody, but it looks like that will have to wait now. In a message posted on his Twitter account, Kevin Smith has confirmed that Red State finally has that green light it’s been seeking for so long.

A brand new red-band trailer for the upcoming film Role Models has been released.

Check it out here below!

The film stars Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott as employees of an enery drink company who get in a little trouble. They’re sentenced to do some community service by helping out in a Big Brothers/Big Sisters-type organization where things aren’t all cute and rewarding as we’re led to believe. Ooh, and Paul Rudd’s kid is totally McLovin!

The movie’s original trailer looked pretty funny, but as is usual, this Red Band peek makes the movie look hilarious.
