Pat also told a story about how many years ago, he was at a convention in Vancouver as a guest representing Degrassi and Kevin pre-Clerks, came to ask him for his autograph. Kevin, of course, was there in school, and it’s something that Mastroianni never forgot.

They then went on to talk about other things, but luckily I was able to get a question in at the Press Q and A, which was basically, “What’s happening with the movie?”

Essentially, they explained that as of now, it’s been shelved. They went through something like 8 drafts of the script and the funding was there, but things just couldn’t come together. The movie was going to be in between seasons, like the X-files did, picking up where that season would leave off. Because the movie’s not happening, the storyline that would have been used is going to be incorporated into a few episodes from this season although they didn’t mention which ones.

Brogren estimates that the show will only run for about another year becuase the kids are going to be going to college and they want to end it before they jump the shark. However, when the show ends, that will again provide a good opportunity for a movie to be made, so it will be looked at again. When and if it happens, Kevin IS still on board.
