- “Zack & Miri” have made a porno – And their trailer’s now officially screened on televisions across the country. This is the very first television spot to air for the movie, and it aired at a very juicy spot – During the first half hour of a brand new “Saturday Night Live”. Nice job, marketing folks. Since this was unexpected, it was a great surprise to see the extended commercial, and in HIGH DEFINITION, no less! The ad, very much like the MPAA trailers we saw on the web, even added a few new shots and lines. Still, it’s very exciting when that first commercial airs. There’s something in the air, and News Askew gets even more exciting when we’ve got a flick just over the horizon.
Did ya miss it? Trailer Addict caught a capture of it and posted it for the web world to see. Enjoy. We think it’s a fantastic ad and should drum up some nice business for opening weekend and beyond. Opening weekend is key important, but good word of mouth is what makes View Askew box office records. Let’s do it.In case ya missed the GREEN band trailer, IGN has both up on their site as well.

Audio: Kevin On “Weekly Blend” – No More “Ranger Danger”?
- Kevin once again takes to the web audio realm this week, guest starring on CinemaBlend’s “Weekly Blend”. Kevin generously chats and then sits in (via Skype voice chat) for a full hour with the gang, discussing the new movie, whats coming up, and lots more.
Of particular interest, Kevin does mention that the long in planning “Ranger Danger” may no longer be made, with the new Sci-Fi comedy sort of a replacement. This makes sense to us, as we’ve heard Kevin say many times in the past he’ll take a completed script and borrow ideas from it for other projects. We’re guessing this new idea is a totally different film, but that he may have borrowed some of those “Ranger Danger” sequences or nuances to help shape this one.
With “Red State” very close to finding all the funding needed, we’re still hopeful to see THAT as the total 180 degree follow-up to “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” — Then, it’d be way cool to see Seth Rogen and other big names return to star in this unnamed sci-fi comedy. Of course, News Askew will be there, every step of the way, as the project develops.

- SpoutBlog runs an extensive new interview with Kevin from Fantastic Fest 2008. Watch for some raunchy spoilers for the flick among the answers. Here’s a few snips (no spoilers here):
Q: This is probably your most emotional film. I mean it’s close to Chasing Amy, because that had some emotional moments, but this one was like this had like naked, open emotion in it. Was that the hardest part of it for you, or the porno part the hardest part?A: The porno part was definitely the hardest. The naked emotion stuff, I feel like we had in Chasing Amy, I feel like even in the last movie Clerks 2 they’re sitting between Dante and Randal in the jail scene, which is just emotionally devastating. You watch one dude who’s always confident, always a wise ass, like laid bare. That to me is like devastating, because that’s a dude completely unguarded.
So doing a version, not a version of that, but doing a girl-boy type emotion that lay bare, that was easy. Shooting fake sex––that was definitely something I wasn’t ready for…
Of course, you’ll want to surf over and read every word at Spout Blog. We’ve gotta say, we’ve never seen a posted interview taken so literally that it blogs it down all the way to a charlie horse.
- Last we heard, Brian Lynch had written a script for “The Sims” feature film, so we thought some of you might be interested in this latest tidbit on the project from Aint It Cool. No word on if Lynch and his scripting duties are still intact, but we haven’t heard otherwise.
