Kevin Smith Gives a Sam & Twitch Update at DC’s “An Evening With”
Sunday night writer/director/actor/podcaster/pot enthusiast Kevin Smith hosted “An Evening With” at the Lincoln Theater in Washington, DC. Smith covered a range of topics including his family, career, and more in a 2 hour chat where he was his usual entertaining and open self.
When it came to the question and answer point, one audience member asked Smith about upcoming projects (Smith had already talked about the ups and downs about Mallrats 2 and Clerks 3).
Smith did cover some interesting tidbits concerning his work on a possible Sam & Twitch television series. Sam & Twitch is based on the comic character who debuted in Todd McFarlane and Image Comics’ Spawn and eventually spun out into their own series.
The series would be like Kolchak: The Night Stalker with the two characters solving mysterious crime involving monsters and demons. Smith has written the pilot and and outline for the proposed eight episodes. The series would air on BBC following the next season of Doctor Who, but that all depends on the current Dirk Gently series. Smith explained with the end of the second season of that series the actors would renegotiate their contracts and based on that result, it would then determine if there was enough of a budget for Sam & Twitch.

The weekend is almost here. Some of the GP crew have a long weekend, which is good, because at least one of us has to write a review for a certain Canadian Mutant who has a movie coming out soon… Snikt.
