No one has ever heard of Yoga Hosers, so you may be puzzled to see this project being covered here. Director, writer and fanboy extraordinaire Kevin Smith believes it's a comic book movie. So there you go. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story follows "15-year-old yoga nuts Colleen Collette (Lily-Rose Depp) and Colleen McKenzie (Harley Quinn Smith) who have an after-school job at a Manitoba convenience store called Eh-2-Zed. When an ancient evil rises from beneath Canada’s crust and threatens their big invitation to a Grade 12 party, the Colleens join forces with a legendary man-hunter from Montreal named Guy Lapointe (Depp) to fight for their lives with 'all seven Charkas, one Warrior Pose at a time.'"
The film, which starts shooting this week, will star Johnny Depp, Lily-Rose Depp, Harley Quinn Smith, the entire cast of Smith's Tusk and many more. StarScream Entertainment will produce alongside SModcast Pictures, Invicible Pictures and Abolitta Productions. No word on a specific date, but a 2015 release seems likely.
Smith is arguably the most well-known professional fanboy in the history of human existance. He commented on the dearth of female-led action movies, saying "people always ask me 'Are you ever going to make a comic book movie?' This is it - but instead of yet another dude saving the day, our antiheroes are the most feared and formidable creatures man has ever encountered: two fifteen year old girls."
But that's not all! Depp's character Guy Lapointe will make an appearance in Tusk, set to hit theaters on September 19, 2014. Yoga Hosers is the second entry in Smith's "True North Trilogy."
Are you excited for Kevin Smith's latest directorial effort? Will this be the megahit to get Johnny Depp back on track?
