Kevin Cruz Is Splitting Up 'Hit Somebody' Into Two Parts

Because hockey movies haven't become the epic treatment they deserve, Kevin Cruz has confirmed via Twitter that his final effort like a author/director, 'Hit Somebody,' will probably be split up into two movies. After recognizing that his script was getting too large to suit into one sitting and discussing whether he should transform it into a small-number of sorts on Cinemax, Cruz has finally chosen the double bill for his follow-as much as 'Red Condition.' In line with the Warren Zevon song of the identical title (that was compiled by Mitch Albom), 'Hit Somebody' may be the story of the Canadian kid named Buddy McCracken who matures with hopes for playing within the NHL despite the fact that the only real factor he's proficient at about the ice gets into fights. Sure sounds nearly the same as 'Slap Shot' told in the point of view from the Hanson siblings to us, however again, that sounds pretty awesome. 'Hit Somebody' will not be striking theaters until a while in 2012 and can star John Goodman, Alan Rickman, Melissa Leo, Stephen Root, and Nicholas Braun within the lead role as Buddy.
