- A fan came up with an interesting observation the other day when Kevin announced some plot details about his new comedy — In the “Jersery Girl” DVD commentary track, Kevin talks with Ben Affleck about a script idea he had planned to do post “Amy”, that you may recall was called “Name”. The plot? A girl moves to the big city with acting asperations and is forced, by way of circumstance and a need for cash, into the porno world. While we’re sure that “Zack and Miri” is a totally new movie, could some elements or themes from this legendary View Askew script be finally seeing the light of day? It’s an interesting connection, and Kevin’s always said he holds onto plots and scripts for a reason. The new flick may be our chance to finally see a bit of “Name”! Or perhaps this is all just a crazy coincidence…You decide!
And yep, the Wikipedia page is already up and running. We’ll keep ya posted on the exciting developments with Zack and Miri.

- Want more “Reaper”? An even MORE extended trailer clip has shown up online, featuring all the elements before and a ton of NEW clippage as well. You can check it out for free via this link via Pittsburgh’s CW affiliate. The clip runs almost 5 minutes in length, definitely the most “Reapear” we’ve seen in one place yet.
- Kevin’s “Die Hard” trailer clip comes up in this week’s episode of “Best Week Ever” on VH-1. Watch for their regular sketch “Doug Benson: TSI (Trailer Scene Investigator)”. His shctick is that he looks at trailers and “analyzes” them to determine what the movie has to say. Repeats air all week long, check your listings.
- The IESB reports that “Fletch Won” has yet again moved to another star AND director. Steve Pink will be taking the helm with Joshua Jackson set to star in the role made famous by Chevy Chase.Steve Pink was behind the Justin Long college comedy Accepted in 2006 and wrote the screenplays for both John Cusack flicks Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity. Kevin’s nowhere near involved anymore, but we still thought some of you may want to know.
- AfterEllen.com featured a couple of ex-View Askew ladies in their own Hot 100 list, voted by lesbians — Guin Turner at #26 and Eliza “Duckshoot” Dushku at #11.
- Congrats to Stan Lee, who Reuters reports just inked an exclusive multi-year deal with Walt Disney. New films based on his POW properties are planned. IGN has details. Lee’s done so much for the comics industry, so it’s great to see him getting his dues.
