- Word on the street has it that Kansas State University is attempting to reschedule Kevin for May the 7th. Stay tuned to News Askew for more info as we receive it.
- If you’ve been reading the fan’s stash summaries, you know this, but in case you haven’t: We hear that the original Clerks cast, including Jeff Anderson, will return to voice the Clerks Animated Series. Jim Mahfood will do the art. Man, this show’s gonna be cool if it comes to fruition!
- We’ve just been made aware of this fabulous new website called UpcomingMovies.Com. Like Corona, it keeps track of what flicks are in store for the coming year. It’s organized beautifully, and full of great info. Anyway, we bring this up because they’ve just added their Dogma page. Do surf on by and give it a look!
- Happy Birthday to Linda Fiorentino, Dogma’s beautiful Bethany — Linda turns 39 today (And boy, if all 39 year old women looked as good as that, this world would be an even better place!).
- Here’s a small blurb on “Coyote Ugly” for the interested (Kev’s working on the script):
“Small” is not a word you usually associate with producer Jerry Bruckheimer. As the man behind such massive films as Armageddon, Enemy of the State, and Con Air, Bruckheimer has made a name for himself with the big movie spectacle. Well, not this time.
Disney is this close to green lighting Bruckheimer’s latest project, Coyote Ugly, a small drama about a country and western bar in New York City. No, it doesn’t blow up. No, nothing crashes into it. Just drinking, cowboy hats, and a sassy all-female bar staff. If you’re thinking Urban Cowboy 2, think again. The script, which was based on an article that first appeared in GQ, is being rewritten by Kevin Smith, the man behind the excellent Chasing Amy and Clerks films.
Don’t worry though, Bruckheimer hasn’t left his big budget roots completely behind. All ready to roll (literally) is Gone in 60 Seconds, a car chase movie starring Nicolas Cage.
- Another Dogma plug immortalized on DVD – The latest release of “Die Hard” in the format lists Alan Rickman’s turn as Metatron in his film credits. Dogma is listed as a 1999 release.
- ICQ Askew will have their first chat under new management this Sunday at 3 PM Pacific, 6 Eastern. Visit their homepage for more details. We hear someone in the chat’s gonna pick up a free Armageddon VHS or DVD, as well.
- Finally today…Many of you may be wondering why Dogma: Rumor Control hasn’t been updated lately. We realize this. There’s been some “behind-the-scenes” work going on with this sucker, and we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves in the coming weeks — So stay tuned…
