  • Howdy folks, we’re back from WizardWorld East, had a blast, saw a lot of great people, and of course caught Kevin’s signing appearance and Q&A seesion (pics coming soon). The con was full of outstanding guests, it’s a shame it ended so early.

Anyway, here’s some of the major points from Kevin’s Q&A that we wanted to get online for you here ASAP:

  • Kevin’s draft of Jersey Girl wound up being around PG or PG-13 material, according to Kevin (and those who have read it). The film, if it stays as it is (and it likely will), will be the “PG” Kevin’s always mentioned he’d had in him.
  • Jersey Girl will likely end up filming in TORONTO over Philly (much to the crowd’s dismay), due to a $2 million cheaper budget if they take it up North. Filming starts this August.
  • Kevin gave some minor details on Clerks: Sell Out, the animated CLerks film. The film will defintiely be R-rated but not as obscene as Jay & Bob Strike Back. The project is still in the planning stage but moving along.
  • Fletch Won will follow the book very closely, but Kevin will NOT make the film unless Jason Lee is cast in the lead.
  • Kevin (for certain) & Jay Mewes (unlikely) will not appear in Jersey Girl.
  • Kevin will be catching an advance screening of Episode II tomorrow afternoon. Chances are he’ll comment on the flick sometime early this week.

There may be a few more tidbits we aren’t remembering at the moment, but a lot of the older stories about Superman, the Scream 3 set, and others were told to audience memebers who asked as well. Kevin talked for close to 2 and a half hours, then had to catch a plane back home. That’s about it for now, we’ll have more details from the show for you later, just wanted to get the big news online for ya!
