Kevin Smith will return to the director’s chair later this month or the next to direct his next film, “The 4:30 Movie”. Although there is a real strike going on in Hollywood, Smith has gotten a waiver from SAG to move forward with his next film. The film stands as an independent film with a completed script that allowed Smith to apply for a waiver from SAG– American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), informed him earlier this month with the go-ahead.
The New Jersey-born director has been busy going back and forth from California to Jersey for months. If you follow Smith on social media, you know that he sometimes attends movie screenings at his movie theater SModcastle Cinema located at 82 First Ave Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716. “The 4:30 Movie” will follow a group of teens in the 1980s who pay to get into one movie and spend the day theater-hopping.
The movie will star Austin Zajur, who worked with Smith in Clerks 3 and starred in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. No other cast has been announced, but Smith has stated that they would be some casting calls for background actors in the days and weeks to come. So stay tuned for more news as it comes.
