First Look at Kevin Smith and Johnny Depp's Daughters in 'Yoga Hosers'



Nepotism is a hell of a thing, especially in Hollywood. When your fathers are Johnny Depp and Kevin Smith it comes with certain perks, and one of those is getting work in their dad's latest movies. Depp and Smith recently teamed up on the oddball horror-comedy Tusk, the first of the director's "True North" horror trilogy, and now we have the first look at their daughters in the follow-up, Yoga Hosers.

Harley Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp are reprising their roles as the Eh-2-Zed (basically the Canadian Quick Stop) store clerks from Tusk, this time attempting to stop an ancient evil rising beneath Canada's crust using their advanced yoga skills. Returning once again will be Johnny Depp as the "legendary" Montreal hunter/investigator Guy LaPointe. Smith tells THR...

"Their onscreen chemistry comes courtesy of a lifelong friendship: Harley and Lily have known each other since first grade," Smith says. "Acting is a job of making choices, and Harley and Lily were making their own character and delivery choices from day one on the flick. At one point, I pulled them both aside to ask, 'You are making excellent choices without me saying anything. What adult is telling you to do these things behind my back?' The girls said they'd simply learned to act from watching movies and TV shows their whole lives. But in their case, acting and goofing around is in their blood. And it was thrilling to watch them both take their first steps in what's bound to be a lifelong passion for performance."

Yoga Hosers also stars Justin Long, Genesis Rodriguez, Jason Mewes, Natasha Lyonne, Adam Brody, Jennifer Schwalbach, Tony Hale, Tyler Posey, and Michael Parks.

Johnny Depp Joins Kevin Smith's 'Yoga Hosers'


Remember when Ben Affleck was a regular face in most of Kevin Smith's early movies? Yeah, those days are long gone (they're still buds), but it looks like Smith has found a new celebrity pal in Johnny Depp. Depp makes a cameo in Smith's horror, Tusk, and now he's officially come aboard his next film, Yoga Hosers.

Described by Smith as a comic book movie, although it's not based on one, the film will also star Smith and Depp's daughters Lily-Rose Depp and Harley Quinn Smith. The rest of the cast is made up of pretty much everybody who is in Tusk:, Michael Parks, Justin Long, Haley Joel Osment, Genesis Rodriguez, Ralph Garman, Jennifer Schwalbach and Harley Morenstein, along with new additions Tony Hale, Natasha Lyonne, Austin Butler, Adam Brody, Tyler Posey and Jason Mewes. Of course Mewes is in this.

The story centers on  "15-year-old yoga nuts Colleen Collette (Lily-Rose) and Colleen McKenzie (Harley Quinn) who have an after-school job at a Manitoba convenience store called Eh-2-Zed. When an ancient evil rises from beneath Canada’s crust and threatens their big invitation to a Grade 12 party, the Colleens join forces with a legendary man-hunter from Montreal named Guy Lapointe (Johnny Depp) to fight for their lives." Depp is playing the same character as in Tusk and Smith is building this as a new franchise, similar to his original View Askew movies that spawned Jay & Silent Bob.

This sounds totally weird, but it will be cool to see Smith working in the action-adventure field, and with Depp riding shotgun this could be his biggest film in awhile.
