Kevin Smith's The 4:30 Movie is one step closer to completion, with the filmmaker saying that there is a finished cut of the film, which shot in August and September at Smith's Smodcastle Cinemas in New Jersey. The movie will star Austin Zajur in the lead role, and centers on a group of teens in the 1980s, who pay to get into one movie, and spend the day theater-hopping.
The movie is both a return to form for Smith -- filmed at work, mostly in one location, and taking place over the course of a day, like Clerks -- and a departure. After all, he has never made a period piece before, and moving his theater back to the '80s likely took some impressive design work. "Hopefully we get to show it to in the next week or two, because I've got it cut together," Smith said on the latest Fatman Beyond."For those of you who don't follow that closely, I just finished making a movie called The 4:30 Movie. I got a SAG waiver, so we were shooting....It's all pretty much cut together.""Even though the writers are striking, my script was written, so we were getting ready to go into production," Smith told fans in August.
There is no official release date for The 4:30 Movie yet. Smith's last two movies were released by Lionsgate and distributed by Paramount, but it is not clear whether he could utilize that same arrangement given that he had a SAG waiver, and Paramount is a struck studio.
