PARADISE CITY: DEGRASSI GOES HOLLYWOOD (Premiere)
* Sunday, August 30 at 8 p.m. ET
In the first ever DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION movie, the Degrassi students venture to L.A. via school bus with hopes to score parts in Mewesical High, a musical directed by Jason Mewes (Clerks) under the mentorship of Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma). Paige (Lauren Collins), personal assistant to THE SHORES reality television star Hailey Montel (Mary Ashton), understands that in life you work from the ground up, but when Hollywood hands Paige a shortcut to fame and fortune, she jumps at the opportunity and takes Marco (Adamo Ruggiero) and Ellie (Stacey Farber) along for the ride. Back in Toronto, Manny (Cassie Steele) has immersed herself in her university theatre program and is committed to becoming an actor of substance. The star of Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh?, Manny blows an opportunity to star in Mewes feature and then heads on a road trip to L.A. to win the role and realize her dream.

“A Couple Of Dicks” Is Released in U.S. Theaters!!!
- While it may be way too early to start looking forward to a release date (since film hasn’t yet rolled on the flick), the often-reliable Box Office Mojo lists Kevin’s upcoming directorial effort, “A Couple of Dicks”, with a release date of February 26, 2010 (moving back a month from a date we’d previously not even heard). We figure that the date’s probably penciled in on a schedule somewhere, but it’s too early to tell if this is going to be the official big screen debut.
“A Couple of Cops” stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, and will be the first film Kevin directs a script he has not written. It’s also his first stint with Warner Brothers. Scouting locations in and around the NYC area should be just wrapping up about now, with on location filming set to start sometime next month (June). We’ll keep you posted as we learn more about the production, as well as regarding a confirmation or denial of the February 2010 release date.
