Perspective
Tusk is based on a story from Kevin Smith's SModcast podcast. It stars Michael Parks, Justin Long, Haley Joel Osment, Johnny Depp and Genesis Rodriguez.[1] The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, before it was released on September 19, 2014, by A24.[2][3]
Yoga Hosers is a spin-off of Tusk. It stars Johnny Depp, alongside his daughter Lily-Rose Depp and Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith.[4] Production began in August 2014.[5] The film premiered at a midnight screening during the Sundance Film Festival.[6][7] Invincible Pictures acquired distribution rights to the film, and released it on September 2, 2016.[8][9]
The proposed third film in the trilogy, Moose Jaws, has been described by Smith as "just Jaws with a moose."[10] In June 2015, Harley Morenstein confirmed that he would be the lead in the film, following appearances in the other two offerings,[11] and Smith said that his daughter and Lily-Rose Depp would reprise their roles from Yoga Hosers.[12] In January 2016, Smith confirmed that both Jay and Silent Bob would appear in Moose Jaws, thus setting the entire trilogy in the View Askewniverse,[13] but in June 2020, he said that he had written the two characters out of the script.[14] In 2017, Smith said that Johnny Depp would reprise his role as Guy LaPointe.[15] In December 2022, Smith announced that Lionsgate had agreed to finance five new movies to be made by him, including Moose Jaws.[16]
