- “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” premiered in Toronto with 2 shows this week, and if you’ve been reading News Askew, you’ve seen some fantastic reviews from both fans and critics. Today, we go a bit more in depth, including some photos and video footage of the arrivals, and a true, but SPOILER-FILLED treat, the complete Q&A session that followed the world premiere screening.
Let’s start with the spoiler-free first. Elizabeth Banks, Jason Mewes, and of course Kevin were on hand for the premiere, and the TIFF’s website caught the arrivals and snapped a few nice photos as well.
Now, onto the juicy stuff. Once again, we warn you, MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE FILM ARE CONTAINED IN THESE VIDEOS! After the world premiere, Kevin and the cast took to the stage for some audience Q&A, and it’s all available to you thanks to the miracle that is YouTube. Total of around 15 minutes total. Watch only if you’ve seen the film, or don’t mind having some of the best jokes spoiled for ya (we’re debating watching right now).

Rogen To Return As “Ranger Danger”?
- The LA Times recently scored a cool quote from Kevin regarding casting Seth Rogen as his lead hero in what’s currently known as “View Askew 10”, though the more we think about it, may turn into the long-in-planning “Ranger Danger and the Danger Rangers”. Keep in mind, things change over the years, and Kevin may have retooled that film to a new theme/title or even come up with a totally different sci-fi superhero. We’ll see. However, current hints and quotes we’ve seen from Kevin are in line with “Ranger Danger” coming next after “Red State”. Here’s what JoBlo posted up today:
“First, I’m going to do a 180 turn and do a horror movie called ‘Red State,’ ” Smith said in an interview Sept. 7 at the Toronto International Film Festival. “It’s going to be a total horror-political-psychological movie without a funny line in it. Then I’m going to do the science-fiction superhero movie. It’s going to be an original superhero that I’ve created. It’s stewing right now. I want to do it, though, and, God willing, it will star Seth Rogen.”See the full story over at the LA Times website. Kudos to Joblo as well for picking up on this scoop.
