• Thanks to the kind folks who sent us a VHS copy of the Entertainment Tonight piece! Above, we’ve got two stills from the Cannes premiere of “Dogma”. Then there’s some actual stills from the movie : The first shows the start of the clip, with Matt & Ben chatting in the airport very close to the film’s beginning…The second highlights Chris as he exits the airport terminal, the final shot with me (Brad), wearing the brown bomber jacket and glasses, as I talk to Chris. The clip cut off right at that point, but our screentime drags out a BIT further as we move across the screen to the right.

Anyway, we at least wanted to show ya this as proof that we were indeed in the film, in case this scene suffers any cutting in the final version!

• Here we have an exclusive look at the new issue of Daredevil (Page 8 to be exact). This appeared on Marvel‘s “To The Minute” preview page.

Finally today, we’d like to thank Alex, alex213 and SmooSmee for the new poll topic.

• As with every passing issue of Wizard, Kevin features even MORE promiently this go-round. Here’s a complete summary of all the Askew-related goodness in the latest ish:

• Pages 10-11: There are 2 questions for Kevin in the letters page. Important Stuff:

  a) The old “is Rick Derris a real person?” question Kevin: “He’s more of an archetype. He’s the every-stud in high school who was rumored to have nailed, like, everybody – maybe even your mom.”

  b) How did Kev hook up with Jim Mahfood? Kevin: “They (Oni) urged me to let him do Clerks, and thankfully I listened. Jim is great.”

  c) What is Kevin reading right now? Kevin: Daredevil, Preacher, InHumans, Superman Adventures, Gotham Adventures and JLA.

  d) Any chance of Kevin writing an X-Men book? Kevin: “you’ll never meet a bigger non-X-fan than me. Never dug ’em, and I probably never will. But I’ll be the first in line for the movie.”

• Page 70: A complete Kevin smith page. A huge article on the Clerks Animated series, and a smaller article detailing Disney/Miramax’s selling of Dogma. The only stuff coming out of this article that most of us didn’t know is that HBO was indeed one of thje companies vying for the series. Also, it says that everything is “based on Jim Mahfood’s designs, but after that it goes through the Disney animation department.”
• Page 115: Kevin is back to being the # 1 writer on the hot sheet. This month they had all the writers depicted as South Park characters, Kevin’s is pretty funny.
• Page 117: Daredvil # 1 is listed as fifth on the hot comics list.
• And Finally, The BIG ONE: Next month in issue #96, Wizard will have an offer to send away for a Dardevil #1/2 written by Kevin. These will be pretty exclusive I would imagine. We hear the issue will be available on either June 23rd, or the 30th.

We’ll keep ya posted on all the latest, especially that DD #1/2 issue. We can’t wait to get a look at that puppy!

• There were two Cannes recaps that mentioned Dogma in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly (Cast of ‘Friends’ on the cover)…

• Looks like MTV‘s got a new movie-related series coming up, getting them even FURTHER away from their old video-playing days (remember that?). At least this show sounds like a fun one to watch, and Kevin‘s featured in the first episode:

Certainly sounds like a pretty cool show – We have no idea how large or small Kev’s role will be, but we’re sure it’ll at least be amusing enough to tune in for.

• Okay, so enough news came down today to allow me to get ONE MORE update ready (aren’t I dedicated?) but I swear, after this, it’s beach time! Let’s go:

• Here’s a couple new Dogma articles two sccopers found on the net…

• We don’t get enough Jason Lee news, it seems, but here’s a neat story a scooper sent our way today:

• The British press is going NUTS over Dogma, and are rating it as one of this year’s top must-see movies. Alanis will appear on tommorows U.K breakfast show where apparently she will be discussing her role in Dogma. There may be a few clips from the film, as well, since it’s the big feature story on the show.
