Apparently a lot of the film will be shot in Paulsboro, New Jersey as well as Philadelphia. The article confirms a budget of around $20 million dollars and a PG-13 rating.

Kevin Hits The Boards With TONS Of Info…

August 23rd @ 7:24 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Kevin Smith

  • Kevin’s been stopping by the boards lately to answer a ton of questions and being quite forthcoming with a TON of information on Jersey Girl and other stuff. Did you know that the film’s not slated to open until Novemeber 2003, over a year from now? Wow. Let’s hope they push it up a bit! Anyway, an incredible wealth of knowledge below, in Kevin’s own words with questions from fans just like you:
Affleck in Jersey Girl… goatee or no?

He was trying to grow one, but we decided against it.

What sort of things are you trying, beyond clothes and such, to try and evoke the spirit of a decade so recently past in “Jersey Girl”?

“Jersey Girl” takes place from ’94 to ’03 now, so it’s not that difficult.

Any ideas for a release Date for Jeresy Girl?

November, 2003.

Are your plans to start the animated flick right after JG’s release?More or less.

Will Walt and Bryan be given roles in JG?

Not this time around. It’s a pretty small cast.

When will you need the first group of extras for Jersey Girl?

Paulsboro. This Thurs/Fri, I believe.

Jersey Girl has officially started shooting, let the fun begin (and watch for our Jersey Girl site as soon as we can settle on a good layout — very very soon we’re hoping).

  • If you missed Kevin’s Roadside Attractions on the site last week (our capturing equipment is just plain bad, thus we haven’t gotten a copy up here either) — Many local affiliates rerun Tonight Show episodes 1 week later at 2 AM. So, if that’s the pattern, that would mean that at 2 AM tonight, some affiliates will show that very episode. Check your listings!
  • Kevin and ViewAskew.com get mentions in this SF Gate article which discusses stars who are very vocal on their web sites.
  • Congratulations to “Drop Dead Roses” (starring Brian O’Halloran), which took home its first award yesterday — The award for “Best Foreign Film” (it’s Canadian-made) at the Long Island film expo! Congrats to all cast and crew.
