Kevin Smith Promises Full-Frontal Nudity In ‘Porno,’ Despite R Rating

“…There’s like 20 to 25 percent ad-libbing in the movie. The genius of Rogen is that that dude can ad-lib and every bit is useable in a way that feels insanely organic — it moves the scene and plot forward. You welcome a dude like that — not only can he execute, but he can elevate. Having him was a blessing. His ad-libs don’t stick out like a sore thumb: “That’s a Kevin Smith line, that’s a Seth Rogen line.” “

“…I think it’s our most visually interesting movie to date — that seems to be the compliment from a lot of people, including Bob Weinstein. So there’s a sequence in the movie that features some slow-mo — It features Seth and Elizabeth. I think it’s just beautiful, and I’m so proud of it. “

Kevin Smith Says View Askewniverse Won’t Be Mentioned In ‘Zack and Miri’

“…“We don’t need put a foot in both worlds,” Smith said. “This is a different thing.”

Sure, we didn’t expect a Jay and Silent Bob cameo (not least of all because Jason Mewes is starring in the film as a different character), but not even a little nod?

“Nothing, not even like a little wink,” Smith said. “There’s a moment where we needed to showcase a pack of cigarettes at one point. I don’t even think it wound up in the final cut. And our designer who’s been on almost every movie with us was like, ‘Should we use Nails?’ And I was like no, find some fake movie cigarette brand.””

Kevin Smith Unleashes Superhero-Targeting Serial Killer In ‘Batman: Cacophony’

“…For “Cacophony,” Smith will be bringing Onomatopoeia back to the mean streets of Gotham, this time setting his sights on the Caped Crusader, which Smith is quick to point out is the “apex” of non-superpowered heroes. “He’s just a dude in a suit, he’s not like Superman,” elaborated Smith. “Onomatopoeia would never go after Superman — what’s the point? You can’t take him down. But Batman is a prey he can get his head around, like, if I can do this it’d be great.”

While Smith obviously prefers to keep details of his story under wraps, he assures fans that this will not be one of those projects that will see massive delays between issues (case in point, his infamous “Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do” mini-series for Marvel). Cut the guy some slack — he’s got movies to write and direct, after all! — but he also has two issues already written and in the hands of “Cacophony” artist, Walt J. Flanagan. “I’m two issues done [and] I got one issue to do, Walter is almost on the last page of issue one in terms of artwork.””
