- Today’s edition of online comic Angst Technology at Ink Tank cites the call that took place for Jersey Girl extas online last month.
- Jersey Girl did get a mention in yet another “Access Hollywood” segment, but the story focused on Affleck and Lopez, without even a single mention of Kevin in the writer/director role. Seems his stars are getting so big that they’re taking precedence! Here’s hoping future bits will cite Kevin’s major role in the production. Drop Access Hollywood a kind line and remind them not to forget!
- Clerks comic artist Jim Mahfood has a new book out, published by Image, called “Stupid Comics”. It’s full of strange stories, including one in which he mentions a Dogma set visit:
“I had the good fortune of being able to hang out for a week on the set of Kevin Smith´s film Dogma. I got to talk to some of the stars in the flick and soon came to realize that these people are not special. That´s right folks, famous people actually need food and water to survive. They use the bathroom. They have the same fears as you and I.”
- This story reveals that the next “Project Greenlight” film will actually see a theatrical release at the same point as the show airs on HBO. A very good idea in our opinion.
- Kevin’s surprising quotes about their asking Speilberg to use “Jaws” clips in Jersey Girl made the MSNBC site this week. In case you missed it, here’s the text:
Steven Spielberg wasn’t very cooperative when director Kevin Smith (”Chasing Amy”) asked Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment if he could use a clip from “Jaws” in a new film, “Jersey Girl.” “The word came back from Amblin that Spielberg didn’t want to license scenes featuring the shark, based on the primitive special effects in the flick (i.e., the shark looks fake),” Smith writes in a diary he’s keeping about making “Jersey Girl.” “When we chose another scene … the word came back that Spielberg didn’t want to license the use of any scenes in ‘Jaws’ that reminded people how scary the movie was.”
This is truly shocking stuff, makes you cringe to think what he’s got planned for the NEXT Jaws DVD release. Instead of replacing guns with walkie-talkies, maybe this time he’s replacing the shark with a goldfish.
- UK Askew reports that those Clerks and Chasing Amy DVDs we mentioned the last update are actually just clones of the bad Australian Region 4 releases. Stay away!
