Clearing The Air On Clerks TCS & The Next Flick…

March 22nd @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Alright folks, there’s been a lot of discussion about this stuff floating around the net so we thought we’d do a bit of a reality check and set the record straight about a few things. If you read our last update, you would have noticed that Kevin mentioned that Clerks: The Cartoon Series will no longer be airing on ABC. He also mentioned that both Clerks 2 and Mallrats 2 were out, and that his final “Askewniverse” flick will be the next project. Both Dark Horizons and AICN ran stories on this stuff, as well, which all stemmed from folks who heard comments at the Los Angeles Comic Con.

First of all, from what we know, this IS all true. However, read nothing more into these items than that. ABC did NOT pull the Clerks cartoon series from its May 31st start date. Kevin, Scott, and Dave have obviously opted to NOT have the shows aired and in effect, from what we’d imagine, bought back the show in some way. Whether this is for the proposed feature film project, another network, or what, remains to be seen, but we don’t think this stuff will just go away. Anyone who’s seen an episode will agree that it’s too good to just go away.

Now, on to the films. You’ve all heard Kevin state that his next flick will be the last to feature Jay & Silent Bob. Many of you became upset when Clerks 2 and Mallrats 2 were both proclaimed dead projects. Trust us, though. The flick that Kevin’s got in the works is the BEST way to see these two off, along with all the other characters as well. Kevin’s stated that this film will “bookend” the other films very well, so we assume we’re in for a real treat. We anticipate that practically every character will return in some form or another (what will happen if Gil and Dante hicks hang out together? Banky and Brodie? Should be fun). We also think that some things may happen before Clerks, after Amy, and more. We expect to see a prequel and sequel to all of Kev’s stuff rolled into one nice package. All of this is PURE SPECULATION on our part, as it remains to be seen what Kevin will include in this one, but we think it’ll be the best one yet.

So what’s next after that? Kevin himself has said that just because Jay & Bob and the other gang go away won’t change anything. The flicks will still be just as funny, original, and groundbreaking, just with some new characters and new situations. It’s time to take the next step. And we sure can’t wait to see what’s coming up. But we can tell ya one thing…We’ll be right here to cover it all.

Commentary

  • Howdy folks…Gathered up some good stuff for ya today, so it’s good that ya stopped in. We’ve got a little editorial about all that’s been going on with the upcoming View Askew projects. We’ve got a couple new video clips for ya. We’ve got some good newsbites. Great stuff.

By the way…Since the readership of this site seems to be growing, a favor…There’s a quirky fun show on up in Canada called “Twitch City” — I just started watching the second season and it’s really good, but now I’m longing for the 6 episodes that comprised the first season. Anyone got them on tape by any chance? Also, Chris was hoping some of you die hard fans may have taped all the episodes of “Freaks And Geeks”, now that it was just cancelled so abruptly. Shame. And finally, anyone heard of an indie vamp flick called “Cold Hearts”? Been reading a ton about it all over the place but it doesn’t seem to be anywhere. Is there a VHS available? Drop us a line. Thanks. Now, let’s get back to things:

  • Get those TV sets warmed up tomorrow! On Thursday, March 23, at 10:00 pm EST, ABC will feature segments from Dogma as well as some interview segments with Kevin on “You Can’t Say That”, narriated by John Stossel.
  • Wizard once again mentions VA in their latest issue in a number of areas. In one article, the issues compares comic book characters to who they would like to play them in real life. For the character of the Joker, they picked Jason Lee and have a picture of Brodie with a small paragraph of background info. In another area, the View Askew homepage is featured along with a summary and a picture of the front page. Finally, there’s a two-page article about the Clerks Cartoon with an interview with Kevin, info about the show, a picture from the show (the one with jay spraypainting ‘Clerks burn in hell’), a picture of Alec Baldwin (who does the voice of Leonardo Leonardo), and a picture of Jay and Silent Bob from Dogma.
  • Affleck and Damon have been shopping around their idea for a reality television series to execs, which features a real life journal of the production of an independent film, a fairly cool idea, we think. Entertainment Weekly has a report:
Good Will Hunting the tv series?

Not exactly, but sources say Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have beenshopping around a reality show that takes viewers behind the scenes ofan indie movie. The Oscar-wiining duo (and their Miramax-basedproduction company)plan to recruit an indie auteir via the Internet whowould then allow cameras to capture his vision coming to life. “Theywere pretty passionate about the idea,” said one Big Four exec. “Ithink they wanted to do it based on their experience {making} Good WillHunting. They want to give somebody else that kind of shot.” Affleckand Damon had no trouble getting the nets to hear their pitch but,finding a buyer is a different story; one exec says miramax is askingtoo steep a price for a 13 episode order(though Affleck and Damon didpromise to appear in some episodes). But even if the show doesnt getpicked up, the actors have still created a stir: “I rarely get flummoxedby people,” says one exec,”and I definitely was flummoxed by them.”

Unfortunately, Criterion does not have a definite release date for ‘Chasing Amy’ at the moment. We hope to have it in stores by summertime.
