• The Dark Horizons website reports that IMDB has George Carlin and Joey Lauren Adams on Jersey Girl. Kevin previously confirmed Carlin and Affleck’s casting, but nothing was official on Joey Adams (and Kevin’s still yet to make that announcement).
• The February 12th Hollywood Reporter ran a nice one-page story on Jay & Bob’s DP (Director of Photography), Jamie Anderson. Kevin and Scott compliment him quite a bit on the DVD commentary, and plan to use him on future flicks (including Jersey Girl). Here’s the text:

Earlier in my career, I was lucky to work with some great cinematographers. Now, when I’m shooting a film, there’s always at least one of them looking over my shoulder, still teaching me. That’s an important part of who I am as a cinematographer. Every day on the set, we are trying something for the first time, and still drawing on some earlier experience. It’s the way you interpret a feeling, a mood or a character that provokes a response. There is something organic about film that is hard to define. It’s a warmth and smoothness of the image. Maybe the right word is alchemy-the way it all works together, the light and dark, the colors and movement, light projected through crystals. There’s a kind of magic that happens. There are infinite possibilities. The movies that mean the most to me are the ones that teach us something about the human condition, and sometimes just the experience of making them can teach you something too.”

Jamie Anderson’s credits include Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, The Gift, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, The Temptations, Small Soldiers, Grosse Pointe Blank, What’s Love Got to Do With It, The Juror and Unlawful Entry.

• This month’s Cinefantastique has a two page article devoted to the animatronic Scooby Doo that appears mostly in the deleted sequences of J&SBSB. We don’t have the article, alas, but you can check it out at your local newsstand if you’re intersted in learning more. It’s supposed to be quite detailed.
• Jason Lee appears in the film “American Cuisine” on the Women’s Entertainment network on February 22nd at 8 P.M. The film is rarely seen, so you might wanna tune in or tape it if you’ve got the channel. Thanks to the Jason Lee Online Fan Club for the scoop.
