Kevin Smith directing “KilRoy Was Here”

Director Kevin Smith has announced his latest project to be the horror anthology film “KilRoy Was Here”! The film, which is written by Smith and Andy McElfresh, is based on the World War II graffiti character of KilRoy - who was used as a sort of calling card for soldiers from several countries. In an official statement, Smith further discussed the project, saying the following: “This is a monster movie in the sense of a classic morality tale. No one wants to see you spill the blood of innocents, but when someone crosses the line and goes bad, you get to make them pay in horrible ways, and the audience cheers. We wanted to make an anthology film in the vein of ‘Creepshow’. ‘KillRoy’ is like the Golem, the Boogeyman and the Grim Reaper combined.” Later, while on a Facebook live stream, Smith revealed that “KilRoy”’s premise steams from a now-aborted “Krampus” film Smith had been working on for years. Smith said the following: “We were gonna make this ‘Krampus’ movie and then somebody went and made a ‘Krampus’ movie. Ours was an anthology that played more like ‘Creepshow’. Or, to appeal to the modern day kids, ‘Creepshow 2’. Or, let’s say, ‘Black Mirror’. So yeah, it’s kinda like that. It’s an anthology. So our ‘Krampus’ movie – which was called ‘Comes the Krampus’ and then later on, ‘Anti-Claus’ – it got shelved. So we decided to re-engineer that dopey script. We turned it into a different movie. We just changed the Krampus character – it’s almost the same script. Took the Christmas elements out of it. Instead, we’re calling it ‘KilRoy Was Here’.” What do you think of Kevin Smith directing “KilRoy Was Here”? Let me know in the comments!
