James Shotwell Excuse me while I scream like the fanboy anyone reading this surely is…FINALLLLLLYYYYY! Kevin Smith, or for those on Twitter @thatkevinsmith, has released the trailer for his upcoming film and we’re predicting heads will explode upon viewing it. Looking like absolutely nothing he has ever done before, but obviously dripping with his writer’s touch, here is the first and only trailer for Red State.
Ever since Clerks (cowinner of the Filmmakers Trophy at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival), Kevin Smith has been known for his sharp, subversive, comedic writing. He shifts from comedy to horror with Red State and aptly demonstrates that good writing transcends genre. Red State begins by following three horny high-school boys who come across an online ad from an older woman looking for a gang bang. Boys being boys, they hit the road to satisfy their libidinal urges. But what begins as a fantasy takes a dark turn as they come face-to-face with a terrifying “holy” force with a fatal agenda. Instead of relying on archetypes and predictable formulas, Smith meticulously fashions all-too-real characters, utilizing exceptional performances (notably by Michael Parks) and an intelligent script. His realistic style gives the film an intimate feeling, heightening the terror to biblical proportions. Red State is a shocking new kind of horror film that aggressively confronts higher powers and extreme doctrines with a vengeance.

To be fair, he did release the Teaser for the flick about 2 weeks before sundance.
You make a good point, but that was only a teaser. There was also a festival trailer if we want to get super technical, but this is the only one the majority of the world will see.
Good fact check though, hope you’re excited for the film!
