- Well, here’s some big, cool news out of the blue. Yesterday, Kevin revealed that all of his college appearances this year will be chronicled on a new Columbia/Tristar DVD. Those of you who have seen Kevin’s appearances know how they work, but this gives those of you a chance who can’t make any a first-hand look. Kevin entertains the crowd with marathon Q&A sessions, ranging in topics from Clerks to Jay & Bob to everything in between. Usually, Kevin’s not afraid to take on past actors, producers, and companies he’s worked with, though we’re not sure if this type of stuff will make it onto the disc, you can be sure that it’ll be another must-have for your collection. Here’s Kevin:
After the success of ‘Dogma’ on DVD (we moved eight hundred thousand of the bare bones version and over two hundred and fifty thousand of the Special Edition), Mike Stratford of Columbia TriStar (they who released ‘Dogma’ on home video) suggested shooting all my college gigs this fall and putting out a DVD – something along the lines of “An Evening With Kevin Smith” or “Silent Bob Speaks”. Mike had attended the sold-out Q&A I did at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences last year, and thought a taped version of the event could find an audience. I dug the idea, so we’re moving forward with it.
JM Kenny (he of the ‘Rats’ and ‘Dogma’ DVD’s fame) is directing. At each school, there will be three to four cameras rolling – two on me and two on the folks asking questions. So if you’re in the area of any of the forthcoming college appearances, come armed with great questions, and you may find yourself immortalized on home video.
Col/Tri is looking for a spring release of the DVD.
We’ll keep you posted on all the upcoming appearances right here, and hopefully make it to one or two of them ourselves. Stay tuned for more info.
