- UK’s Empire Magazine always does us right with fantastic press for Kevin and View Askew, and they’ve scored themselves a nice exclusive this month – A brand new interview with Kevin on “Zack & Miri Make a Porno”. They’ve even scored a few photos from the set and put together a nice rap sheet on some of the cast. Click the scans above to read the piece, but watch for what we call a few minor spoilers — Kevin reveals who the couples will be in a handful of the film’s staged sex scenes. Ok, now you REALLY are gonna click, aren’t ya?

- Some quickies from the board – Kevin reports that “the marketing folks are working hard to have a Red Band trailer for ComiCon” when asked about an official trailer for the film. It’s long been desired that the trailer get tied to “Pineapple Express” which hits theaters on August 8th.
- Next, sad news on the hopes for seeing the extended, and we feel, quite superior director’s cut of Jersey Girl on DVD. When a poster cited money reasons, Kevin corrected:
“Not so. It’s unlikely to see DVD because Buena Vista Home Video wasn’t interested in doing it upon the initial release of the flick on home video, and then really wasn’t interested in doing it once the Harvey/Bob/Miramax/Disney breakup happened. Cost doesn’t have anything to do with it; it’s pure spite, at this point. So weird.”
Those of you who watched it with us at Vulgarthon West know what folks are missing with this one, as the extended cut added quite a bit of richness to the story, especially with the Ben/Jen relationship, sadly lost to the cutting room floor in theatrical and DVD releases. Here’s hoping Kevin dusts this one off once again for the rumored 2009 Vulgarthon event.
- Seth Rogen appeared on popular Australian talk show Rove to promote “Pineapple Express” — You can watch the entire 9+ minute clip via the magic of YouTube. Just a brief mention of “Zack & Miri Make A Porno” as an uncoming project (though we’re expecting the BIG press blitz to begin this September).
- The Stash doesn’t sell this item, so here’s a chance to get a rare View Askew item locally – Our scooper caught the hard to find “Clerks II” Mooby box DVD set that includes the visor, cup, and the movie, all in a happy meal type case. This was at Best Buy in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The item was a Best Buy exclusive. The price there was just $12.99, an absolute bargain — While we don’t expect this deal is nationwide, someone likely found a case of the long sold-out edition and put it out there, it’s worth seeking out. What a deal.
