  • Since Milton-Bradley is a local company there, The Union News in Springfield Mass had an article on Kevin directing the ads for the Star Wars board games we’ve been discussing (”Epic Duels” and “The Game of Life: A Jedi’s Path”). The newspaper had a photo of him directing the ads, which we don’t have a scan of, but you can check out the story at their site. Lots of cool info on the games themselves if you’re curious.
  • If you want to read a text version of that Affleck/Damon article we posted the other day, The Toronto Star has it on their website.
  • Project Greenlight is hittin DVD soon, and according to Disney’s site, the set, which includes the complete Stolen Summer movie, the show, and extras, will retail for $69.99:
Based on the 13-part HBO documentary series, PROJECT GREENLIGHT is a four-disc set that gives viewers a unique, behind-the scenes look at filmmaking as first-time director Pete Jones struggles to make his debut film, STOLEN SUMMER. When Jones wins a script competition staged by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s production company, he receives a $1 million budget from Miramax Films and is given a guaranteed theatrical release for his film. The catch? Jones himself will spend the next few months on camera as he experiences the trials and tribulations of being a first-time director. The set also contains Jones’ film, STOLEN SUMMER, and two-hours of bonus features.

  • Here’s a few cool images — They show the movie poster for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with a famous Berlin landmark, the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedatchtnis-Kirche, in the background. The church was bombed during the war.
  • Matt Damon was on NPR’s Fresh Air today. Streaming audio of the interview is on the web HERE. Kevin’s been on the show twice as well, you might recall. The Damon interview is quite good, almost an hour long and very in-depth. If you’re a fan of his, you’ll want to give it a listen.
