Hit Somebody

Following his directing-only gig on this week's 'Cop Out', Kevin Smith will be returning to writing duties for his next film, 'Hit Somebody', a hockey drama based on the song by Warren Zevon and Mitch Alborn.

In an interview with www.nhl.com, Smith revealed that Seann William Scott will play the lead role of 'Buddy', a hockey 'enforcer' whose wish is to score just one goal in a game.

Smith also says the movie will take place over a period of decades, and unlike his previous movies will be 'big and epic in scale'
