In the new Rolling Stone magazine with Jennifer Aniston on the cover, there’s a small blurb of Affleck, where it also mentions Alanis in Dogma. Check it out:
Fight Fans like Jack Nicholson, Jay-Z, Ben Affleck, and Mark Wahlberg packed the VIP lounge at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand to watch Mike Tyson endure the taunts of Francois Botha and then systematically pound the guy to the canvas in Round Five. Affleck was kicking back after recently finishing Kevin Smith’s comedy Dogma, in which Alanis Morisette plays God. “She’s really nice,” Affleck said about his cast mate. “Very Canadian. Super Canadian. She could really be a representative for Canada. She is a Canadian like you read about.” How so? “I mean, she’s a Canadian from the hinterlands.” The film, due out this fall, is sure to cause controversy with the 700 Club. “It’s unformulaic and very fresh,” Affleck says. “Once you see it, it’s quite obviously a joke.”
Want more of a Claire Forlani fix after snoozing through “Meet Joe Black”? She’s featured in an upcoming direct-to-video flick called “Basil”. It hits shelves on the 13th of April and is billed as “sexy and sultry”. There ya go.
Dark Horizons has a script review of what is supposed to be the latest version of Superman Lives. This one is written by Alex Ford and, if the review is accurate, it puts to rest the question of how much of Kevin’s script will remain in the flick…Not much at all.
Finally today, some neat stuff going on over at www.affleck.com, Ben Affleck’s soon-to-open OFFICIAL website. First of all, they’ve posted RealVideo of Ben’s surprise SNL appearance during Gwyneth’s monologue last week. You can check it outhere. Also, check out this handwritten concept of what Ben wanted to see on the site, which even includes a link to News Askew! Hit the thumbnail to blow it up. Looks like they’re gonna be selling lots of cool stuff there, including signed Good Will Hunting scripts and the like. There’s even gonna be a webboard. Cool stuff to watch for. We’ll keep ya posted.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
