During the Q&A portion of tonight’s Montreal stop of the Red Provinces Tour, Kevin Smith‘s Canadian series of screenings of his flick Red State, he dropped a juicy tidbit of information:
Hit Somebody, his next and final film, will be a two-parter. The filmmaker revealed that while writing his screenplay, which is based on the Mitch Albom-penned Warren Zevon song about Buddy, a Canadian kid who dreams of becoming a hockey player even though he’s “not that good with a puck,” he realized that it was getting way too big to fit into one movie. He thought of turning it into a HBO series, but finally settled on doing a two-part film, à la Kill Bill.
From what he said, it seems like the split will happen when Buddy finally makes it into the NHL a professional ice hockey league; the first part will mostly be about his youth in Canada.

Often times Smith talks about fact searching and this is the case. The player in question doesn’t make it to the NHL that’s why Smith said ” in the league” . For all hockey fans out therr that remember when the NHL wasn’t the only league.
@Louis: So which league would it be, like, the defunct World Hockey Association?
That is correct. I hope I didn’t come out as an ass or anything I just wanted to make sure Smith won’t bitch at the Montreal news when he gets to Toronto :)
No worries, man!
