• You know folks, with another year winding down, looking at today’s update topics, we’re guessing this is going to be looked back at a landmark, breakaway year for Kevin Smith. When the year kicked off, the company that was Miramax was in flux, and the way that View Askew Productions would do business was uncertain. Now, in just a year’s time, not ONLY did we have a brand new View Askew flick written and directed by Kevin (one of the BEST EVER), AND slew of new DVDs…But this has been the breakout year for KEVIN THE ACTOR. After showing such amazing stage presence with the “Evening Harder” series, we’ve not only seen Kevin hit the small screen this year, but, instead, make a transition to BIG SCREEN STARDOM! Today, news on his first feature speaking role, the one sheet for “Catch and Release”. Also, BIG NEWS on a sure to be summer blockbuster that Kevin has just revealed he’ll play a minor role in. And of course, there’s that Manchild pilot as well. Three major projects for a guy that started in the biz by directing one of the most independent flicks of all time just over 10 years ago? Pretty cool stuff — We’re guessing this might all make for a fantastic autobiography someday.

But the story’s really just starting, isn’t it? Let’s take a look at today’s news, pretty much all of which focuses on Kevin’s upcoming efforts IN FRONT of the camera!
