Kevin Smith wrote the script around the same time he was writing Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) and presented them both to the Weinstein brothers. They immediately gave the green light to Zack and Miri Make a Porno, but declined on Red State fearing its story was too bleak to attract an audience. Had they green lit, Red State would've been shot back to back with Zack and Miri. See more »

this isn't a good thing like woo hoo like it's a rocking 'ride'.
this is irritating, nauseating and intrusive at times, actually.
there is a religious diatribe by the evil protagonist, sermonising to his sycophantic brain- washed flock. this diatribe runs and runs and runs in the second act - I mean I was sitting the in the auditorium thinking wtf. cut cut CUT. This diatribe must be 10 minutes long. Up to this point I was running with the premise and some of the tension. the politics were light weight to be frank but I really did not pay to listen to some nut and every aspect if his thinking about the "evilness of gays.. and anal... etc.. etc". A page of script would have sufficed tyvm Kev.
it has it's OK moments but it has it's extreme weirdness too - weirdness that does not work particularly well. try something surprising and unusual - yes. but sometimes you look at an edit with a fabulously quirky idea and even though you own it, if it sucks, f**king kill the thing ffs.
