• Media outlets today revealed the first release dates for the new Weinstein company. You can check the story out at Yahoo News or Aint It Cool. That Tarantino/Rodriguez collaboration certainly raised some eyebrows here. Overall, it’s a very, very impressive mix, heavy towards genre films which fans like us dig on.

Clerks 2 is not listed, though we assume that’s only because of the scheduling shake-up due to Kevin’s big screen acting gig happening at the moment. As soon as that’s done, or even sooner, we expect to hear the new shooting schedule, which should help with a release date. Without an inch of film shot on the project yet, though, announcing on the slate would be premature — So never fear. We’re still on.

In related news, the Project Greenlight film, “Feast”, in which Jason Mewes has a small role, has announced a release date of January 20th, 2006. With Greenlight a distant memory at that point, we hope it’ll still get some notice, as it certainly looked like a fun, kinetic flick. Let’s hope they go with an R-rating, too. So see it. Even if it’ll help get another Greenlight, well greenlit, we’re there.

The brothers don’t have a name for the new venture yet, but plan to announce one this summer. We’re sure we speak for all of us when we say congratulations and good luck, Harvey and Bob. You changed the movie industry forever, and this next phase looks to be just as promising and exciting. Thanks for continuing to make theaters a better place to be.
