Kevin Smith took to Instagram to reveal a behind-the-scenes image from his movie Tusk, which features a look at a very bloody Justin Long. We like when Long is bloody. He was pretty neat when his peepers were removed too.
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions has snatched up Smith's monster flick, which is thus far the biggest Hollywood studio deal at Berlin's European Film Market.
Spwa has bought Tusk for the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Italy, Benelux, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, South Africa, Portugal, Spain and Greece. Additional territories are yet to be announced.

Though Smith has been rushing the film along in an effort to premiere it at next month's Sundance Film Festival, it looks like he's hit a little speed bump along the way. Read on for details.
As reported by our friends over at Bloody Disgusting, Smith opened up about the progress of the film on the latest episode of his SModcast, revealing that the cameras will continue to roll through the year, possibly even into next year.

Exclusive: I’m hearing that Entertainment One has just closed on U.S. distribution rights on Two Night Stand, which is serving as the directorial debut of Mike Nichols’ son Max Nichols. This was the title that sparked a bidding war overseen by UTA at the recently ended Afm, with A24 and Radius-twc among the distribs in the mix after a buyers screening at The Grove. The Black List script by Mark Hammer stars Miles Teller and Analeigh Tipton as young lovers whose one-night stand ends with a huge fight. She goes to leave, but a snowstorm requires her to spend another night in his Brooklyn apartment. Beau Flynn produced with Ruben Fleischer and Demarest’s Sam Englebardt.
