- A while back, Wizard’s Edge sponsored a contest, which consisted of drawing two comic pages and a lucky winner would have their pages printed in a ‘Tales of the Askew’ comic to be published through Image comics. With Kevin going to Marvel exclusively now, we’re not sure what will become of all the entires, but if they’re as cool as this one that Rick sent us, it’d sure be cool to pool them all up somewhere once the contest is officially over! Check out Rick’s cover and page design above. Some quality work there, for sure. If anyone with Wizard’s Edge or elsewhere knows what’s up with this contest, we’d sure be curious to know.
- Entertainment Weekly is releasing their IT list for 2002, and Jason Lee is listed as “IT Director’s Actor”. A preview with a coment from Kevin himself can be found HERE.
- Rejoice! Clerks: The Cartoon creative genius Chris Bailey has placed that hilarious “Heroes” animation online at his website for your viewing pleasure. You can check out this great mini-flick at http://www.majordamage.org. Thanks, Chris!
- Trade Federation have a behind-the-scenes QuickTime movie available, which follows Kevin as he films those Hasbro commercials for their Star Wars games. A couple shots from the set are above as well.
- Congrats to Jay & Bob co-stars Shannon Elizabeth and and Joe Reitman, who tied the knot over the weekend. She’s still looking for those gas masks for her dogs…
- Check out this funny little net comic lampooing Affleck’s recent non-stop promotional stints.
- Yesterday’s Access Hollywood ran a ‘Daredevil’ piece, with Affleck describing the character. They showed him in action in costume, along with a sia being thrown at him and the DD logo on fire on the ground. They also showed Elektra, Bullsye, and Kingpin, as well as what they will look like in costume. The flick looks quite dark and ominious, hopefully it’ll be one of the best comic book flicks since the original Batman.
- Matt Damon is scheduled to appear on Charlie Rose tonight, 6/20.
- Finally today, here’s a cool modified version of the View Askew website splash page designed by Chris Bailey. Download a copy here or at Files Askew to use as your official PC/Mac desktop!

- According to Thursday’s Hollywood Reporter, Liv Tyler might be joining the cast which already features Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, and George Carlin. This would also mark her first flick with Affleck since “Armageddon”. This also marks the first we’ve heard of the “Maya” character, “a video store clerk who has a significant impact on Ollie”. Interesting stuff. Here’s the story:
Tyler takes trip to ‘Jersey’ with Smith, Miramax
Liv Tyler is in negotiations to join Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez in Miramax Films’ “Jersey Girl” for filmmaker Kevin Smith. Production is slated to begin Aug. 12 in Philadelphia.The project reteams Affleck and Tyler, who worked together on the 1998 feature “Armageddon.” Smith wrote the project, which is about a man named Ollie Trinke (Affleck) and the effects a new wife (Lopez) and 6-year-old daughter have on his seemingly full life. Tyler plays Maya, a video store clerk who has a significant impact on Ollie. George Carlin also stars as Affleck’s father. Scott Mosier of Smith’s View Askew Prods. is producing “Jersey,” which kicked into high gear last month after Affleck and Lopez decided to team for a second time, following a collaboration on the upcoming Revolution Studios feature “Gigli” (HR 5/21). Tyler, repped by CAA, most recently starred in the blockbuster feature “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.” She also will star in the next two installments of the “Rings” trilogy: “The Two Towers” and “The Return of the King.” (Zorianna Kit)
