- According to the star himself, Kevin’s new Q&A DVD, titled “Kevin Smith: Sold Out”, will hit store shelves sometime in mid-October. This disc will chronicle the evening Kevin spend in Red Bank, New Jersey on his 37th birthday. We were there with full coverage of the event (though are saving some of the spoilerish stuff for after the disc’s release). Kevin entertained the crowd for another marathon Q&A and a ton of new tales, including the incredible saga of Die Hard 4 that you just have to hear (worth the disc’s price alone).
Consider this date unofficial for now, though we’ll of course keep you posted on official news regarding the project — It’s been a while since a new Kevin/View Askew DVD crossed our desks, so we’re extra excited for the chance to get a glimpse at this one.

- One of our favorite all-time View Askew comic references arrives in Madman #9 today — Look at the Secret Stash’s glorious appearance in this two page center spread. The book also features appearances of a Graphitti Designs storefront and Graphitti’s own Bob Chapman. Full details on the book over at the Image Comics site. Kudos to Mike Allred for another fantastic book and for working in those wonderful homages. Just photos for now, if anyone has clearer scans, send ’em on!
- We’re loving this Youtube short for “Jay & Seth vs. The Apocalypse”. In the newly announced feature film version, Seth Rogen will star opposite his onscreen ‘Knocked Up’ pal Jay Baruchel. It’s being called an “action comedy”. E! Online has a bit more detail, revealing that the film should start shooting sometime in 2009 (the film linked above was a short made last year, which became inspiration for the full-length project). So far, we love what we’re seeing.
- One of our scoopers caught an early screening of “The Happening” (in theaters tomorrow, Friday the 13th) and has a few more details of our pal Brian O’Halloran’s role:
…I did notice Brian O’Halloran was in the movie and thought you guys should know since I haven’t seen any reference to it anywhere on View Askew related sites.
He plays a Jeep driver and it’s like Clerks for a moment where he is acting through expressions on the rear view mirror to the other actors in the car. Needless to say none of them recited a story about their cousin Walter breaking his neck.
I won’t give away any plot details as the less you know the better.
The film has been getting mixed and negative reviews thus far. Judge it for yourself in theaters this weekend. Congrats to Brian on the role; always good to see the guy onscreen.
