Kevin Smith is chickening out. He’s backing away like a dog with his tail on fire from directing the Green Hornet, while pigeonholing himself as a guy who only directs movies where people stand around talking. Way to go with the low self-esteem Kevin.
In an interview with Empire Online Kevin explains why he’s unable to stretch himself and will instead only be writing the movie: “But now I would like to write it but I don't know about directing, because a) I'm too lazy to direct an action movie but b) I never got into this business to make a movie like that. I got into this business to make movies like Clerks and that was the first movie I made… like movies where people sit around and talk. I never got into this business to blow shit up or make people run. I sent Harvey [Weinstein] an email saying that I think I jumped into this too soon, and I will happily write it but I can't guarantee that I will end up directing this movie.”
Sounds an awful lot like wussing out to me Kevin. Never a good idea to kick opportunity in the balls… but then backing out of projects has recently become Kevin’s MO. He’s got a bad case of the shakes.
