Tusk garnered headlines over the summer when it was revealed the film concerned a man who was once lost at sea with a walrus. When the man returns home, he puts out an ad for a roommate. The only thing this man asks is that his roommate wear a walrus costume (he’s obviously missed his walrus pal) and act only like the animal. Somewhere along the way, the film takes a darker turn.
Smith, of course, worked with Parks in Red State and Long appeared in Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
In this interview, Smith revealed Robert Kurtzman is designing and providing the walrus suit needed for the project.
“As weird as it is in my head when I talk about it, they finally sent me the costume designs by Robert Kurtzman, and I was like, Holy sh-t, its a monster movie, I had no idea. I thought I was making a kind of sister thriller to Red State. As soon as I saw the designs, I go, Of course this is a monster movie and hes Dr. Frankenstein.
Smith describes the movie as “fucked up.”
Indeed.
