Kevin Smith’s next TV project looks like a real Faustian bargain. The famed writer/director of Clerks and Dogma will take on another project dealing with demons and the afterlife in the form of a comedic drama CW pilot called ‘Reaper.’
The show centers on a 21-year old slacker named Sam Oliver who learns his parents sold his soul to the devil at birth and he must now pay back the debt by becoming Lord Lucifer’s bounty hunter. His specific mission: track down souls escaped from hell and bring them back to the fiery pit. And I thought those collection agencies calling my house were ferocious.
Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, both former ‘Law and Order: SVU’ scribes, are writing the project. According to ProductionWeekly, Smith will begin shooting the pilot on March 12 in Vancouver over a two week period.
No word yet on when ‘Reaper’ will premier on CW. However, it is monumentally exciting to see Smith working on a horror-esque project, as this may mean he is getting some practice in before shooting the “Kevin Smith Untitled Horror Project” as listed on IMDB.com for 2008.

Sounds interesting, if a little "dead like me"-ish.
I wonder what the untitled horror project is?
Clerks of the Dead?
Return of the Living Clerks?
The Clerks of Dr Moreau? :lol: :lol:

That's just shameful Karen :o
It'll be Zombie Girl starring J-Lo, who gets decapitated in the first five minutes.
I know I'd pay to see that :lol:

I agree with no Ben Affleck, but some Jason Lee cameos would be nice! And you can't have a Kevin Smith project without Jason Mewes.

Sounds a little like a cancelled show called Brimstone

It's on The CW, I wonder if they're thinking of pairing it up with Supernatural next season? Seems like a natural partnership, although I'm not sure where that would leave Smallville.
Sounds like it might be worthwhile checking out, but the big one for me next year has to be HBO's adaptation of Preacher :thumbsup:
