- Our fine fans over in the United Kingdom are so kind to Kevin and the crew when they’re in town, so we have no doubt folks will line up for the London Film and Comic Con this year, as Jason Mewes has just been announced as a confirmed guest. The show will take place on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of July.
The thread on Mewes states that Jason will appear for a free Q&A as well as a photo shoot — We assume this means there will be time for your own photos and autographs.
Jason will be a popular dude at the show, so you may want to line up early. If we hear further details on how you can meet Jason, we’ll of course keep you posted.
Tom Savini, special FX master and genre actor, who has a small role in “Zack & Miri Make a Porno”, will also appear at the show.
A full guest list (quite impressive) and more details at the show’s official site.

Mewes In The U.K.!

- Comingsoon.net interviewed the great Seth Rogen about his upcoming Adam Sandler/Judd Apatow project. The last two questions in the interview are targeted towards “Zack & Miri Make a Porno”:
CS: Is your character in the Kevin Smith movie better at making a porno than he is in “Knocked Up” making a porn site?
Rogen: Yes! I think he is. It’s way easier to make a porno than a porn web page. I’ll tell you that. Me and you could make a porno in 10 minutes on my iPhone. A web page would probably take one of you guys 10 minutes, for me it would take a while.
CS: Kevin Smith has a very different aesthetic from the Judd Apatow movies, so what was your experience like on that film?
Rogen: He let us improvise to the best that his shooting style will allow. He shoots very specifically because he edits the movies also. Shot for shot, the whole is planned out in his head beforehand so to some degree that limits the amount of improv you have can. You see how we shoot here. They put the cameras on us and we go. With Kevin, it’s much more specifically shot. It’s like, “Well this shot is only good for three words so you can improvise all you want, but only three words are going to be in this shot.” I was proud of him. He let us do a lot of stuff that I never thought he’d let people do. I’ve seen the movie and there is a lot of the improv that we’ve done in the movie and I think it feels maybe more naturalistic than maybe some of his other movies do. That being said, it’s not quite the same universe as what we do here.
Extra improv, eh? We’re intrigued. This one will surely make for an interesting commentary track on the eventual DVD release — Smith, Rogen & Co. on the same track? Damn, now we’re already looking forward to the DVD! - We should have known that great new Mewes shot the other day was snapped by none other than our pal Albert Ortega, who excels at catching our favorite actors on camera. Here’s the full hi-res shot, courtesty of Mr. Ortega himself.
- Here’s one that was never sent before but worth a mention – A chapter of an episode (#11 on the 17th disc, to be exact) in “The West Wing – The Complete Series” has the title of “Chasing Amy”. Amy was a character on the program, so it makes sense — Still, had to be a Smith fan among the disc’s creators somewhere. Cool.
