During his Red Bank appearance last week, Kevin revealed that he’ll be taking a bit of a break of the next six months — While we’ll certainly see him online in various areas, overall appearances and events will be kept at a minimum, as he takes a post-Zack & Miri break. However, the term “break” is really all relative when you look at what’s coming up.

“Zack & Miri Make a Porno” will continue to play North American theaters and then expand worldwide over various release dates. We’ll keep you posted on those dates, and of course an eventual DVD release date, here. As always, the gang put in a TON of work pre-movie to ensure a jam packed DVD, so when that thing eventually shows up next year, there will be a massive documentary and tons more.

“Batman: Cacophony” features three issues, #1 of which is now available. Issues 2 and 3 are “in the can” per se and will arrive on schedule for the remainder of this year. No other comic-related announcements from Kevin at this time.

Watch the News Askew events sidebar on your right, as we’re posting up information on when Kevin and your other favorite View Askew personalities are coming to your town.

Online, Kevin and Scott Mosier will continue to produce weekly editions of SModcast. The popular podcast shows no signs of slowing down, as Kevin recently revealed it’s an excellent time to just hang out with his good friend Scott and spend an hour yakking. We’re just lucky enough to listen in.

Funding for “Red State” will happen though is not yet 100% complete. Production is planned to start in mid-2009 but nothing official as of yet. Kevin feels strongly that this should be his next project, a 180 degree turn from anything that’s come from him before.

Online updates via the WWWBoard, Kevin’s blog site and Myspace/Facebook pages will likely continue as well. These, along with News Askew, will be your sources for the latest announcements from View Askew Productions. Stay tuned, things will be calm for a bit, but we speak from experience: It never stays that way for long.
