Kevin At SMSU: A Recap!

April 28th @ 10:17 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by James Dunn, Matt Gauck, Brendan Creecy

  • We received some excellent little recaps from fans who attended Kevin’s appearance at SMSU last night. As always, Kevin dropped a few new bits of information that we thought you might be interested in. Some are just confirmations, others are brand new. Also, just 2 stories were repeated from the DVD, as Kevin tries to keep those out of the Q&A’s as much as possible since he assumes most fans have now heard them:
  • While Kevin did feel that it was time to try something a little different than another Jay and Silent Bob flick, one of the biggest reasons he’s said there won’t be any more are because of Mewes’ drug habits. Once Jay’s clean, Kev says that he could see bringing Jay and Silent Bob back.
  • He’ll be filiming The Tonight Show’s Roadside Attractions in Branson today (that Simpsons episode where they end up there sure does come to mind) and on Tuesday he’ll be in various area spots.
  • Clerks the Animated movie is in the beginning production stages. They want to make it all in Flash and are doing an animation test right now. The movie should be done in a year or so (12-18 months was the exact estimate he gave).
  • Kevin is still planning on Fletch Won to be his next project. It’s at a standstill right now because Harvey Weinstein wants Ben or Matt to do it and Kevin won’t do it unless Jason Lee plays the young Fletch. Kevin is hoping that if Jersey Girl is successful (and it should be, for several reasons) he will have the pull to make the movie with Lee. So buy those tickets in multiples this Fall, folks!

He also told his famous Reese Witherspoon story, the “Suzanne” classic, the Chevy Chase incidents, and also a new one about how he made Jen watch Sweet Home Alabama, then commented on Harley watching Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Apaprently, when Bob gets stuck in the drain pipe, Harley said, “You’re too big.” Kevin said he was “Proud and offended” at the same time. He also phoned a girl who was in the hospital with appendicitis. Another great show from all we’ve heard. As we always say, don’t miss this guy when he comes to your town.

  • We’ve just received word that “Drop Dead Roses” took home some major honors from the recent New York Indie Film & Video Festival! The flick was honored with the “Best Dark Comedy” award, View Askew’s beloved Brian O’Halloran took home BEST ACTOR, and Eddie McGee was named the BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR. Our congratulations go out to them and the entire DDR team, we’re sure that these awards will help the film get noticed and released soon, so more of you can finally check it out.
