• More info on Chasing Amy’s UK release. First of all, it looks like the UK vid may (exclusively) come with a free copy of the Clerks/Amy scripts at the UK’s HMV stores – but nothing public has been said about this yet. The UK book is by Faber and Faber. It has the 2 scripts c/w a few photos and B/W Bluntman and Chronic comic artwork in the middle, but it has a different cover than the US version – basically the still of Joey used on the Criterion disc (in black and white).

The Video trade magazine “Timecode” gives Amy 8 out of 10 for saleability as it were. They say as Clerks has been such a good and constant seller (over 150,000 copies sold) they expect Amy to do the same as fans of Kev know what to expect and there will be a lot of added interest due to the new found popularity of Ben Affleck (thus Amy will sell well off the back of Good Will Hunting which was released for retail here last week). They report that there will be a lot of advertising in the national media for Amy so that should help.

Finally, Also the German channel Teleclub (available in the UK on Satillite) are showing Amy throughout February. We hear that listening to Ben and Joey say “What did you do last night? “I got laid” in German is quite an amusing experience in itself. It’s running all month, so you German Askewers may wanna be on the lookout.
