• We have been getting countless confused e-mails here at the site, since it seems that the official page touting information on becoming an extra in “Jersey Girl” has been taken offline (likely due to the high amount of interest once the news agencies picked it up). For our loyal readers here, we remind you this was the information we were given:

See that deadline above??? The original deadline was AUGUST 31st, which is SATURDAY. So you better hurry! We’re not sure if they’re even full already, but you may as well take a shot if you think you can get that info in there before the end of this month. HURRY UP! Please don’t email those casting call requests here, there’s nothing we can do with your resumes or photos. Sorry.

• Last night’s EXTRA did indeed run a small piece on Jersey Girl, where we saw our first shots of Affleck and Lopez in character. We’ve just got some small caps of these scenes above (sorry, they don’t expand). From the looks of the set footage, it appears that they are filming in a suburban type neighbourhood. Jennifer has wavy/curly hair while Ben is back to his short, dark brown hair. The only thing they mentioned about the plot was that Jennifer Lopez’s character is a single mom to begin with. Could this be Kevin’s “Jerry Maguire”? Time will tell.

• Dark Horizons reports that only a handful of Jersey Girl’s scenes (night ones, at that) will be filmed outside in the Philadelphia area. Most of the rest will happen on a soundstage or inside. Chances are the daytime exteriors are happening in Paulsboro, NJ then.

Today’s Inquirer article seems to confirm this:

• Here’s the issue description for the new Daredevil series, coming from Kevin this Fall (scheduled for this Novemeber at presstime). This sounds like a MUST-BUY, and has to be one of the most anticipated titles in the comics industry, with Kevin’s writing and Fabry’s amazing artwork:

• The IMDB reports this strangeness:

A Norwegian newspaper even picked up the story (if you can read it).

• Jersey Girl must be spreading its influence in the Philly area – An announcer during last night’s Phillies game mentioned “Chasing Amy” when a fan was shown holding up a sign, asking a girl named Amy to marry him.
• Comedy Central features the new Jason Lee/Tom Green flick “Stealing Harvard” on the BEHIND-THE-SCENES special “Reel Comedy” next month. Check it out at these times:

• UK Askeweres (or those that import the mag) — Watch for a glowing review of the new Region 2 Chasing Amy DVD in the latest issue of “Total Film”. Next month, watch for a certain website you know in their article on web fan sites…
