Before Tusk is released to theaters on September 19th, it's making its world premiere at TIFF on Saturday night and we'll be sure to let Daily Dead know what we thought of the latest movie from Kevin Smith. Until then, we've been provided with the very first clip, where Justin Long begs to be rescued.

TUSK follows Wallace (Long), a journalist on a mission. He finds the story of a lifetime in Mr. Howe (Parks), a worldwide adventurer with amazing tales and a curious penchant for walruses.

Tusk is directed and written by Kevin Smith, based on a conversation he had with friend Scott Mosier in the 259th episode of SModcast, titled The Walrus & The Carpenter. The film stars Justin Long as Wallace the journalist, Michael Parks as the walrus-obsessed Mr. Howe, Haley Joel Osment as Wallace’s best friend, and Genesis Rodriguez as Wallace’s girlfriend. A24 has announced that they will release Tusk to theaters on September 19th.
