  • Kevin’s confirmed a July 10th appearance on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno to promote Clerks II. Rosario Dawson will also appear to promote the film, though the date of her appearance isn’t set just yet. We’ll of course let ya know.
  • Superman director Bryan Singer mentions Kevin’s involvement briefly in an interview he did with Aint It Cool recently. Here’s the snippet:
Harry Knowles – Ya know that there was always a part of me that missed the X-MEN’s real costumes. It’s always going to be there for me, and I know they might be incredibly silly if adapted, but when I saw the SUPERMAN… given the history of this film… and from when you came aboard it became an entirely new film from what had been in development at Warner Brothers for 15 years. From there, Jon Peters was talking about getting rid of the cape, make it a black costume, make it where Superman can’t fly. Ya know, all that kind of stuff. Personally, I can’t really imagine people griping.

Bryan Singer – By the way, I’m not totally sure that was up to Jon Peters. I know Jon and I talked to him about that personally, because I deal with him quite a lot and he’s really quite sweet and I asked him about all that stuff and the problem is he does no press, he just sort of stays out of the limelight and he’s never really had a chance to defend himself, but he’s like, “I don’t know what these people are talking about. There were aspects in the early development,” but he never defends himself…

Harry Knowles – Well, I believe almost all of that came strictly out of Kevin Smith when he departed from the project.

Bryan Singer – You never quite know, I’ve never talked to Kevin about this, but it is… but I do have access to everything that has come before and there are certainly some… -interesting- costume tests that were done. That I have been privy to and I (laughs)

Harry Knowles – Yeah, I’ve seen some of those too. (laughs)

  • Earlier this week we let ya know FEAST would hit theaters in September. Seems that it’ll be a brief run, though, as Moviehole is now reporting that the flick will be available on DVD before THIS Halloween! That’s only about a month window. Those who have seen the film claim it could potentially be a huge cult classic, so we’re really looking forward to this one.
