“Zack & Miri Make A Porno” Is A Wrap!

March 11th @ 9:59 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris, Karla

  • Yep, it’s now official. Via a post from today, Kevin has confirmed that, by the time you’re reading this posting, they have now finished shooting “Zack & Miri Make A Porno” — Yes folks, the cast and crew are now packing up all the heavy equipment for one last time, with the next phase involving Kevin and Scott editing together the first cut of the film. Kevin’s likely been doing some cutting already, and we’re told we can expect the first extended version of the flick to appear in Los Angeles, in front of a select few, in April or May. The man himself:


      Today’s our last day. Unless something really unexpected happens between right now and midnight/one, we’re gonna wind up wrapping two days ahead of schedule.

      April/May boardie screening will be conducted like the “Clerks II” early-bird screening: board longevity will play biggest factor. It’s nothing personal; we just need to make sure the people in attendance aren’t gonna report on the screening to movie sites. The flick will be very chunky at that point, and I’ll be using those in attendance to look for cuts. Screening will take place in L.A. only.

      This flick is really, really funny; however, the dramatic passages are wonderful as well. It reminds me very much of “Chasing Amy”.


    Considering that “Chasing Amy” remains our favorite of all of Kevin’s films, this is quite exciting to hear — You might fondly recall how well the unexpected, dramatic moments blended with the insanely edgy comedic times in that flick as well. We’re stoked for this one, especially since so much has been kept under wraps so far. We realize that you’re a die hard fan if you’re reading this site, often reading up a lot about the films well in advance of seeing them — This time around, we’re betting Kevin’s saving a bunch of surprises for us all to discover up on the big screen.

    As the “Money Shots” shorts and Kevin’s posts start to filter in, we’ll keep you posted of all that’s going on, letting you know where you might want to steer clear of any spoilage, of course. Stick around, it’s just getting good.

  • BlogCritics just plain LOVE everything about Kevin’s “My Boring-Ass Life” blog and book. In this new review of the book, the author heaps love onto Kevin’s body of work, the blog, and even “Jersey Girl” – Take a look:


      That’s the thing about Kevin Smith and his movies; he is one of us. I don’t mean we’re all medium height, husky, white guys who wear shorts and high-tops, but that feeling that has permeated all his films from Clerks through to Jersey Girl (Which I thought was a wonderful movie by the way and am proud to say that I own a copy of the DVD) that it could be you or me up on that screen.

  • Remember, Affleck was the BOMB in “Phantoms” — And now, you can own a piece of said masterpiece, with this original flying creature created for the movie. Gotta love those original movie props! Who wants it?
  • For the true “Clerks” fan who wants to be WAY WAY inside, how about a pair of sneakers with the color combination “Salsa/Shark”? The Vasque Velocity offers you just that.
  • And finally today, ever wonder what Kevin does when he’s not making movies? A side business, perhaps? This photo comes to us from a van spotted in Cairns, Australia. See ya next time…
