Conceptually ‘Tusk’ is described as being sort of like ‘Human Centipede’. A psychopath with a weird Walrus fetish sews a man’s legs together, he then sews the man’s arms to his sides from armpits to elbows, and puts the man into a Walrus suit. The concept was first played around on Kevin Smith’s podcast episode 259 titled ‘The Walrus and the Carpenter’. The story inspired him to make it into a full script and now he set the gears in motion to start shooting next month and have it ready for release in January. Michael Parks (Red State) is going to star as the psychopath and Justin Long (Accepted, Dodgeball) will be the Walrus.
Since ‘Tusk’ has a very low budget, they profitability margin is pretty high. Smith will be using this film to help finance ‘Clerks III’
I cannot wait to see this ridiculous film get made.
