- Who would have thought that this passing mention (and one we forgot to mention in the Red Bank story last time, oops) of Jay’s current project was a scoop that even the press didn’t have yet? Kevin revealed on Saturday night that Mewes was unable to attend the weekend Q&A sessions due to working on a new film with Paris Hilton. Today, that story’s all over the place in the media. We’ll go with the Hollywood Reporter’s version:
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Paris Hilton and Jason Mewes are toplining the indie comedy “Bottoms Up†for Paul Walker’s Blue Collar Films and Cameo FJ Entertainment.
Described as in the vein of “Swingers,†the comedy-drama tells the story of a Midwestern bartender (Mewes) who finds love with Hilton’s character as well as money and success in Hollywood. Walker is expected to have a cameo in the project.
The script was written by Nick Ballo and Erik MacArthur. MacArthur also is directing.
Hilton, whose credits include “Raising Helen,†“Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat†and “House of Wax,†recently completed shooting the independent comedy “Pledge This!â€
A Kevin Smith regular, Mewes has appeared in the writer-director’s “Clerks,†“Dogma†and “Chasing Amy,†as well as “Scream 3.†He appears next in the horror comedy “Feast.â€
We got near record-setting levels of scoops on this one today. It also ran with Comingsoon , JoBlo, CHUD, AZCentral, and of course, our beloved Poop Shoot. Thanks to all who wrote in with the story.
