A bunch of new quality stills from “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” have surfaced, courtesy of The Weinstein Co. It looks like a lot of these are production stills, meaning they’re not actually shots from the film, rather, these were taken for the purpose of being stills to help with the promotion of the film.

You can also see the stills with some commentary over at /Film and JoBlo. Click above for a closer high-resolution look at all these pretty pictures, which feature some of the best looks at the cast members we’ve seen so far. Every pic we see makes the wait ’til October 31st seem even tougher.

Cinema Verdict checks in with a very detailed review of “Zack And Miri Make a Porno”, and the flick sure passes all their tests with some flying colors. As per usual with a long form review, we warn you that there may be spoilers for some, though as far as reviews go this one seems to leave most of the specific gags out, which is a good thing. Here’s a few choice snippets from the final verdict (the rest all borders on low spoiler stuff so we’re keeeping away from reposting it):

Not that you’re not already convinced, but with every good review it’s looking like this one’s the breakout hit of the Fall.

More Affleck on the way! Comingsoon.net reports that View Askew Icon Ben Affleck is not only about to direct his second feature film, but take on writing and starring duties as well. The film is called “The Town” and takes place in Charleston, Mass. Affleck would play a career thief who becomes smitten by the manager of a bank. The Movie Blog has some talkback and commentary as well.

A long international wait for “Porno”? A Capetown, South Africa newspaper re-runs a “Zack And Miri” article that we’ve seen before (so nothing new, but still a few very minor spoilers). However, the news here is the release date for that part of the world: May 8, 2009! Yikes. That’s a while to wait. Fans in South Africa, take note. We’re not sure what other international dates are planned right now, but we will of course keep you informed as they are announced. For now, those of us in North America can’t wait til October 31st.
