Sound The Rapture: Kevin Smith Is Planning To Make Red State 2.
"The good folks at Lionsgate who financed this f****** motion picture ['Clerks III'], they put out 'Red State' on DVD like years ago. And the deal lapsed, and the people that own 'Red State,' the two financiers, weren't from the world of film. One was from the world of fashion, one was a Canadian financier not even in the world of film. So, when Lionsgate reached out about renewing, they got no response back from the copyright holders. I could tell them as much as I wanted till I was blue in the face. Like, 'No, renew it!' But I didn't own it. They did. So it just fell into a spam folder and f****** fell out of circulation.
"Because we did this movie ['Clerks III'], we were talking to go home video. [Lionsgate's] like, 'Hey man, how come you guys wouldn't re-up "Red State" with us?' And I was like, 'They still didn't get back to you?' [Lionsgate] goes no, we been trying for f****** years. So we put it all back together and s***."
