- Yes folks, that’s right — Kevin promises that just one week from tomorrow — On Friday, November 16th, our Zack and Miri will both be revealed to us…And the world! We’ve been doing this site for over 11 years now, and we can’t ever recall more speculation or excitement over role announcements. We’ve known the title for so long, and loved it — So naturally, to know these key players, both of whom we’re now guessing are newcomers to the world of Askew…Well, it’s a big deal for us. The speculation can continue, rumors will spread. On Friday, we’ll all find out together. Of course, we’ll have the cast announcements here for you at News Askew and all of the surrounding Askew locales on the web. It’ll be a fun day to be here.
In other news, for those of you wondering why the IMDB title is still shortened up, rest assured – Kevin tells us he’s awaiting for the title correction to show up at the site. This means that they have indeed been contacted and corrected, and that the film in no way has been retitled “Zack and Miri”. As of this writing, the film remains “Zack and Miri Make A Porno”. And we sure hope it stays that way.

Southland Tales: Anyone Seen It?
- Southland Tales will hit theaters in just one week (this Wednesday, the 14th) — So has anyone caught it yet? We’ve all heard the rumors that Kevin’s role is still there, but possibly cut down to help with the runtime. In a recent interview, Richard Kelly cited the fact that it’s one of the plots he was saddest to see go. So we’re wondering — How much Kevin do we got? Let us know, or comment to this post. The film itself is very ambitious, and rumor has it, will baffle audiences — Just the kind of flick we LOVE. We can’t wait to see it.
With the release, of course, comes the press. As this isn’t a View Askew production, we won’t be covering every single tiny news item, but just some major stuff — And of course, anything where Kevin’s name comes up. Like this Wired interview for example, where Kelly credits Kevin for his help in getting the prequel comics for the film out there:
Wired: You also penned a bunch of comic books that give backstory on the film…Kelly: Kevin Smith helped publish them. There’s going to be a bound collection — like a graphic novel — available in bookstores soon.
Also, the official film soundtrack was released earlier this week. It’s a sick soundtrack that features unreleased songs from Moby and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. A complete track listing can be found at Amazon or the Milan Records site. We’re stoked to hear that Moby score in the film.See “Southland Tales” next week for a unique experience at the theater AND to support Richard Kelly, a longtime friend and fan of View Askew. And of course…Don’t forget, Kevin’s in it!

- We made the correction, but in case you missed it — Kevin’s “Kevin and Bean” appearance was actually on the Tuesday, November 6th program. Hope we didn’t lead anyone on a wild goose chase, there. The link from yesterday is still valid.
- An immediate answer to our Clerks II inaction figures query from yesterday — Current targets have the new set showing up in late Spring, 2008. So, sorry, not in time for the holidays this year. We’re sure that the gang wants a quality product, so the wait will be worth it. These things actually go through a lot of testing and approvals with test molds before the final models are produced. We’ll keep you posted on the progress.
