• Upon perusing the latest edition of the View Askew WWWBoard, some of you noticed that Kevin has started to drop hints about his next film project. First off, and this is quite exciting, it seems that production might start sooner than we thought, maybe even within the next 6 months (that’s BEFORE Jersey Girl premieres, folks!). With no word of Jason Lee signing on for the Fletch role, we’ve ruled that out. Also, while we feel the Clerks cartoon movie WILL get made, it’s not the project we believe Kevin’s been hinting about.
  Yep, from what it sounds like, Kevin’s next project will be some sort of space or science fiction fantasy type film that he’s been dropping some very slight hints about recently. Even more surprising today was the news that producer Scott Mosier, who’s worked with Kevin from the very beginning, will be taking a six month hiatus/vacation soon, and thus will NOT be working with Kevin on this next project. More evidence that the next film is starting up sooner than we though, but we are certain that Mosier will be missed. Kevin has acknowledged this himself.
  So, want a couple more tidbits from today? Sure, as a reward for reading this far, here’s 2 more big items for ya:

• Kevin’s thinking about a way to hold a free Jersey Girl screening, in lieu of a Vulgarthon, somewhere around January 2004, which would celebrate 10 years in the movie business for View Askew Productions.
• Next up for the inaction figures line – The Dogma series (see below), then “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back”, then “Chasing Amy”, then “Clerks: The Animated Series”.

If that’s not enough to keep ya excited for the week, we dunno what is! And yes, there’s still more in the update below, so read on…

• Set your VCRs and Tivos or cancel your plans…This Friday, August 1st, Kevin will appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to introduce the piece he recently taped at the San Diego ComicCon. We’ve heard great things.
  Also, the question on many of your minds — When will the New Jersey/Red Bank segment of Roadside Attractions air? No date has yet to be set, but due to Jay’s upcoming vacation, Kevin is guessing somewhere around mid to late September (though it’s still very much up in the air). As soon as an air date for that one is set, you’ll read it here.

• We’ve got the first carded photos of black and white Jay & Silent Bob, who will be the exlusive inaction figures available at WizardWorld Chicago, from August 8th through the 10th. As always, find your friends now, as this is another limited run, and when they’re gone, they’re GONE!
• Clerks will be shown in theatres in San Jose, CA at the Camera Cinemas camera one on August 2nd, at midnight. The Campbell, CA Camera Cinema camera 7 will screen the movie a day earlie, August 1st, also at midnight. Log on to www.cameracinemas.com and visit the Midnight Movie section for more info.

• Attention Jason Lee fans! You’ll love this brand new article from a German skate/art magazine called “Lodown”. It’s an interview with Lee about the rebirth of his skateboad company “Stereo” and lots more. We’ve also got an ad from Swedish clothing company “We” that features Lee, and 3 old jason lee skateboard stickers from back in the day, which appeared in issue 36 of Lodown.
• And in more Lee news, the voice of Jason Lee is attached to appear as a character in Pixar’s next, “The Incredibles” , which opens in theaters November 2004. It’s a Pixar flick directed by Brad Bird, who brought us the fantastic “Iron Giant”, so expect great, great things.
• Guess there’s a website for everyone’s taste. A site for “Bear enthusiasts” (gay men who are into big, burly men) reviews the Evening with Kevin Smith. Looks like they even provide a special “bear factor”. Hey, to each his own!
