Kevin Smith has announced his next movie just in time for the holidays, and it's not about Santa....
It looks like those perpetually pining for the upcoming Clerks 3 will have to pine at least a little longer, because director and writer Kevin Smith has announced his next project; it is the Anti-Claus.
As announced by XYZ Films, the director will reteam with his Tusk cast that includes Justin Long, Michael Parks, Hayley Joel Osment, and Genesis Rodriguez to realize this holiday slasher.
Anti-Claus will revel in the actions of a centuries-old demonic monster known only as Krampus, the Anti-Claus. This monster eats naughty children during the most festive season of the year.
“When I was a kid, if they wanted to make a Christmas horror movie, they'd stick an axe in Santa's hands,” Smith said in a press release. “In Anti-Claus, we leave Santa alone and creep with the Krampus through twisted tales of holly-jolly murder, desire, desperation and despair. Just in time for the holiday season.” Smith goes on to speak of how this will be a perfectly honest Christmastime movie…in Germany, Austria, Bavaria, and other Alpine countries that tell of what Krampus will do to the naughty children.
Anti-Claus begins principal photography in September.

I've always found Kevin Smith's movies to be childish, boring and often times pointless. His style of filming reminds me a high-school film student who has access to really nice equipment.
