View Askew NewsBites™
- E! Online’s website has a short realvideo clip not featuring Kevin or the trailer clip, but mentioning it along with the Movie Poop Shoot website. They say, “Director Kevin Smith is waging an Internet war, but you’ll be surprised to find out who he’s battling.” You can view the clip online HERE.
- There have been some new changes and a new design at fan site www.silentbob.co.uk. Surf over and check it out if you so desire.
- There’s a new Yahoo club that’s been created dedicated to View Askew director turned Hollywood writer Brian Lynch, located HERE. Stop by if you’d like to know what he’s up to as well as chat with fellow fans.
- This afternoon, a caller to the Don & Mike show (syndicated nationally) asked Don if he had seen the internet trailer to J&SBSB. Don said no, but that he really enjoyed all of Kevins’ films, and DOGMA in particular. The caller then got the plug in for Don and all the listeners to go to viewaskew.com and watch the trailer. The guys both agreed that Kevs’ films were, “Funny as hell!”.
- Finally today, here’s a cool new cartoon of Jay & Silent Bob found over at celebritoons.com. Enjoy the weekend.
Kevin’s Non-Involvement In Star Wars: The Phantom Edit
- Just a quick word about that news that’s appearing on TheForce.Net today (and has resulted in no less than 50 e-mails at least in the inbox today) regarding the Star Wars Episode 1.1: The Phantom Edit (story originally appeared on Editorsnet by author Erin Lauten. Apparently, a mysterious video cassette containing a re-edited version of George Lucas’ “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace” has started circulating around Hollywood. Why is this relevant here, do you ask? Well, folks are theorizing that the tape itself may have been a project of Kevin Smith’s.
We contacted Kevin about this immediately, who assures us that while he’s had nothing to do with the project, he HAS seen a copy and can confirm that is does exist. Interesting. So, who’s got a copy they wanna pass along? Drop us a line! There ya have it, folks.
