    ...

    Wayzim - it's inspired by a story (that proved to be fake) that was posted on the UK website Gumtree about someone who was looking for a room mate. The advert said they wouldn't have to pay rent, but that they would have to dress up as a Walrus and act like a Walrus for a certain amount of time each week/day ... Smith and Scott Mosier talked about it and fantasised a horror movie version on their "SModcast" podcast, and from that "Tusk" came about.

    From Wiki:
    The idea for the movie came during the recording of SModcast 259 The Walrus and The Carpenter. In the episode, Smith with his longtime friend and producer Scott Mosier discussed an article featuring a Gumtree ad where a homeowner was offering a living situation free of charge, if the lodger agrees to dress as a walrus. The discussion went on from there, resulting in almost an hour of the episode being spent on reconstructing and telling a hypothetical story based on the ad. Smith then told his Twitter followers to tweet "#WalrusYes" if they wanted to see their hypothetical turned into a film, or "#WalrusNo" if they didn't. A vast majority of Smith's following agreed that the film should be made.[3] The post on Gumtree was in fact a prank post by noted Brighton poet and prankster Chris Parkinson, a fan of Smith who then hoped he would get in touch with him so he could be involved in the film.[4] Kevin Smith eventually hired Parkinson as an associate producer in November.
