  • Reports continue to flood in on Sony’s fast-tracking of the DareDevil movie. Entertainment Weekly recommended Kevin as the director, but we think the guy would be PERFECT to at the very least write the thing. Judging from his 8-issue run, he obviously knows the character and the background quite well and could certainly shake things up. No word’s out yet on ANYONE’S involvement on the picture, but they’ve already assigned a URL to it: http://www.daredevilthefilm.com.
  • A few of ya wrote in to clarify a few things on “Bruno”. The film is a remake of “Ma Vie En Rose” and is directed by Shirley Maclaine. We hear that Joey plays some type of “small town skank with big frizzy hair”. Huh.
  • Priests stealing Dogma material? Yes, believe it or not! According to a new Entertainment Weekly article, regarding the rash of religiously themed flicks lately, when the priests are commenting on Billy Crystal as God in the remake “Oh, God!”, one of them claims that it’s a good casting decision because Billy Crystal is funny and so is God, because anyone who created the platypus has to have a sense of humor. Where have we heard that before…
  • Happy 44th birthday to Priscilla Barnes, who bared it all for that infamous Mallrats fortune-telling scene as Ivana(and starred on that show full of wonderful misunderstandings, Three’s Company).
  • We got tipped off to another possibly addictive website that we’re going to avoid…But hey, ya might wanna check it out.It’s called Virtual Producer (virtualproducer.com), and it sounds like you can create and develop your own film projects andcompette against others. Our scooper even chose Kevin to direct a project of his. Nifty. Sounds too fun for us; we’reafraid to get hooked on stuff like that!
  • Arsenic.Net (www.arsenic.net) has News Askew listed as their “Site Of The Day” today. Thanks, guys.
