- Well, he promised to start generating some news, and he’s doing just that. Kevin’s been dropping all sorts of hints on the next View Askew production. The following are just a few words from some recent posts from Kevin on the subject of the new, final Askewniverse film as well as some other projects in the works:
…
(On the topic of the personal aspect of the new script.)
…
It was at one point, when too much thought was going into it. But I then arrived at the conclusion that this is just another flick, and shouldn’t be granted any weight or over-thought the others didn’t benefit (or suffer) from. Sometimes, it’s best to go at it casually, rather than grand guiginol.
Of course, in the process of going at it casually it WINDS UP grand guiginol…
Well, that’s not a bad thing either.
On that note, of the last Askewniverse flick thus far I can say only this…
After making two flicks that had some weight and depth to them, it’s high-time we got back to doing what put us on the map in the first place, while tying up a few loose threads in the process.
Kevin also printed the first initials of the last name of each cast member he’d need to participate in the flick for it to work, as he’s written it currently (we’ve filled in who we THINK the folks are, our best guesses):
S (Kevin Smith – Unless he already assumed himself, thus it’d be Lisa Spoonhauer)
L (Jason Lee)
O (Brian O’Halloran)
A (Jeff Anderson)
A (Ben Affleck)
D (Matt Damon)
H (Renee Humphrey)
G (Mayilyn Ghigliotti)
T (Guin Turner)
J (Bryan Johnson)
F (Walt Flanagan)
M (Scott Mosier)
E (Dwight Ewell)
Kevin says these folks are all absolutely NEEDED to make the film as currently scripted.
Our thoughts on this. While the cast list above may not be quite right, it’s close. And we assume this means that we’re going to tie up all those loose/unseen ends from the other films. We’ll finally get to meet all the cousins and see all the incidents that we only heard about in other films. Julie Dwyer in the flesh? Maybe. Stranger things have happened. We think Kevin’s been doing neat little things like this with the Jay & Silent Bob comics, and it’ll be a great nod to see how everything comes together. Of course, Jay & Bob themselves have to fit in there, AND the script STILL has to allow for an uninitiated audience member to have a good time. But it seems like Kevin’s quite excited about what he’s got penned, and we’re certainly looking forward to hearing more about it. It’s going to be a fan-pleaser at the very least, that’s for sure. We’ll of course have the best coverage for you right here.
