Kevin Smith’s Tusk Will Premiere at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival


Writer/director Kevin Smith’s new horror film, Tusk will enjoy its world premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. Smith and Tusk join a long list of established and emerging directors that fill this year’s TIFF slate, which showcases new documentary films by Nick Broomfield, Ethan Hawke, The Yes Men, Joshua Oppenheimer, Frederick Wiseman, Jonathan Nossiter, and first-timers Marah Strauch and Tamara Erde and opens with David Dobkin’s The Judge.

From the singular mind of writer/director and podcaster Kevin Smith, and conceived from one of Smith’s own “Smodcast’s,” Tusk is a story unlike anything that has ever been committed to screen before. A tale that is equal parts hilarious and horrifying, Tusk will stay with you long after the credits roll.

The film is written and directed by Kevin Smith and stars Justin Long, Haley Joel Osment, Genesis Rodriguez, and Michael Parks.

A24 will release TUSK in theaters on September 19th, 2014
