More Mosier Pics From The Set…

April 11th @ 10:46 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Wow, you’re slipping, none of you reminded us about the missing Mosier pics these past 2 Mondays! We’ve only got a few weeks’ worth of shots left, but are hoping to get some more to continue the Monday tradition soon. Again, most of Scott’s photos are taken in-between shots and don’t necessarily represent an actual scene in the film, but capture some truly cool moments and sides of the cast and crew that you wouldn’t normally see. There’s always exceptions, though, as many of you noted in our last edition, as that photo of the 3 girls dancing outside the van is indeed from the film itself. Very perceptive of you. Thanks again to Kevin & Scott for providing these exclusive photos for you!

New J&SBSB Report From AICN…

  • Here’s a taste of a scene that will hopefully make it into the final cut, as it’s a great gag. Here’s a little hint about it from Mysterio’s report (you may be able to glean more if you think really hard about it). Ratface was chatting a bit about this scene during a set visit last week, and it sounded hilarious:
Speaking of lunch, just after the break, Dante himself, Brian O’Halloran returns to shoot a small scene on stage, which has him looking like he’s seriously about ready to give someone a piece of his mind. No joke.

It’s basically a one shot deal that should be simple, but is one of those things that ends up taking like a dozen or so takes before completely satisfying Kev and the DP.

Brian looks extremely nervous and uncomfortable performing this particular scene, which has him restrained and tied down to a table, and even though he’s great in each one of his takes, its his co-stars in the shot that keep him doing take after take.

Brian toughed it out like a true sport and came out of the thing unharmed and unscathed, giving hilarious results each and every time. Though only one will make it in the film (if in the final cut at all), hopefully the alternates of this will make way onto the DVD because they had me and everyone else, laughing hysterically out loud.

  • The Hollywood Stock Exchange game site has added a stock for the proposed next project after Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, the animated Clerks: Sell Out. The stock starts at $13 a share. Here’s their write-up:
Clerks: Sell Out is a feature film continuation of the short-lived animated series from director Kevin Smith. ABC cancelled the show after only a couple of episodes had aired. The animated series was itself based on Smith’s 1994 low-budget calling card Clerks. The original story surrounded one day in the life of convenience store clerk Dante and his buddy Randy who runs the video store next door. In the animated feature, Dante and Randy get together and make a black and white movie about their days working behind the counter. Jay and Silent Bob will make their appearances as well. Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson will reprise their roles and lend their voices to the film. The Miramax comedy, written, produced and directed by Kevin Smith, is scheduled to hit theaters in 2002.
  • Malcolm Ingram’s “Tail Lights Fade” is currently playing on Canada’s Movie Central and will continue to air for the next few months, most likely. Ingram is currently filming and preparing the DVD documentary footage for Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.
  • Part two of Lee World’s exclusive interview with Jason Lee is now online.

  • Affleck spent some time at a Montreal press conference to discuss his role as Jack Ryan in “The Sum Of All Fears”, which is due for release in the summer of 2002. There’s a piece about it HERE.
