Psycomic: “Saturday Night With Duck-Shoot”

January 5th @ 2:49 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Kevin Smith

  • Another Psycomic edition has been posted, so those of you who have been going through the shakes from casting info withdrawal can rest easy today. The title refers to Eliza Dushku, she of “Buffy” fame (where she plays the semi-recurring character Faith) and recently of the cheerleader flick “Bring It On”. You might also recall her as Ah-nuld’s hellion of a daughter in “True Lies”. Soooo, what went down in this meeting of hers with Kev & Scott, and what are her chances for the flick? What about that long awaited Amy Smart meeting? And what’s that clever signature paragraph that ends each story gonna say this week? Here’s a preview:
I can hear some of you Kev-Haters now: “I told you! Fatty’s a sell-out!” Keep your two cents in your wallet until you’re on this side of the table, bellyachers. This is not an evil, soul-selling, integrity-lacking proposition I’ve entered into with this flick; it’s just the cost of doing business on this scale. And believe me, as far as money folks go, Bob and Harvey Weinstein allow for a lot more creative freedom than any other studio head in his or her right mind would afford us (shit, how else can you explain the fact that we’re being given millions to make a movie in which I – non-acting-motherfucker me – am one of the lead characters?). But sometimes, art goes out the window (and with this flick, it never even made it into the room in the first place), and cold, simple economics take the floor. Which means that if actor X sells better in the foreign market than actor Y (and they’re both equally as talented), you’d better believe actor X is going to be the studio fave.

As always, the latest “Developing The Monkey” can be found exclusively at Psycomic!
