- The next of many Psycomic columns was posted on Friday, right on schedule. Highlights of this week include possible actors and actresses that are up for consideration in the new film: Judd Nelson, Shannon Elizabeth, Kate Hudson and Amy Smart (as they’re looking for a new lead actress for the flick). Here’s a tidbit:
Tuesday morning, Sheaks tells us that we’re going to meet-and-greet with Kate Hudson (she of Almost Famous fame) in New York City when we head home the following week. I say that’s cool, but I’m really interested in meeting with Amy Smart too (she of Road Trip and Outside Providence fame). There’s a pretty big part for a girl in the flick, and usually, we’d just cast one of the actresses we’ve worked with before (we work with a lot of the same people in our flicks). But this time, we want to go with one we’ve never worked with before, based on the nature of the story.
In the latest Enterainment Weekly, the column also gets a nice plug:
Monkey Bones
Kevin Smith’s Web tirades are almost as famous as Courtney Love’s–but the Dogma director is 10 times funnier. For proof, check out Smith’s weekly column, “Developing the Monkey,” in the webzine Psycomic (psycomic.com/columns/2000/ksmith). Instead of posting hate letters from Disney stockholders (as he did on the Dogma wesite), Smith is writing a warts-and-all diary about the development process of his next film, the final installment of his “Jersey Trilogy.” He describes it as “a flat-out, no-socially-redeeming-value, made-or-broken-by-the-opening-weekend comedy.”
