- Corona’s excellent Coming Attractions website has posted a bit of a scoop on Ben’s status with the Preacher project, as revealed by Kevin in one of his recent appearances:
Corona Coming Attractions is reporting that, although he’s been rumored to be under consideration for the lead role in the Preacher, Ben Affleck (Armageddon) has turned down the role. A scooper reports seeing Kevin Smith (one of the movie’s producers) at a speaking engagement at Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire. According to the scooper, Affleck declined the role as he was reluctant to do two religiously themed movies in a row. Affleck has been working with Smith on the religiously themed Dogma.
- Okay, we haven’t seen it for ourselves, but this show called “Station Zero” (which is a Beavis and Butthead type video show centered on Hip-Hop music on MTV, like they need MORE hip-hop on that channel, but we digress) played “Thank U” by Alanis (Once in a while, they’re forced to play an alternative or pop video by “The Man”. Funny!). While playing the video, The character Chino, who got knocked out, groggily moans “God?”. His partner Karaz replies “Naw, man…she’s just playing God in a movie. She’s a DOGMA”. And the plugs continue…
- The evil (since we know if we played, it would consume our lives) Hollywood Stock Exchange recently listed Kevin Smith as the “autuer to watch” recently. Glad to see he’s doing well on the cyber circuit, as always.
