• Kevin’s been feeling a bit generous lately as far as info on the new projects go, so let’s do some quick interpretations and summations of what’s been revealed in the big Zack and Miri post this week :

• Jay Mewes will NOT be in “Red State”, but likely appear in a role in “Zack and Miri”. He will NOT play Zack. Miri was likely the character writtien for Rosario Dawson’s voice, though no word yet on if this is 100% true or if she will play the part (though we’re calling this one pretty likely at this point.
• “Zack and Miri” will have a runtime of AROUND 1:40, by estimates.
• “Zack and Miri” will take place in Minnesota, but not necessarily film there (though the script calls for snowy weather, so speculation on a locale is rampant). Illinois and Connecticut were named as possibilities by Kevin, due to the potential tax credit they offer for shooting there. Kevin says, “We’re submitting a budget for Illinois. If Weinstein Co. approves it, we’ll more than likely shoot there, and the location of the story will follow suit.”
• Kevin intends to have Dave Klein shoot both films, with “Zack and Miri” on film (not digital).
• Kevin is aiming for a completely fresh, new to View Askew cast for “Red State”.
• The “Zack” character is quite Dante-esque.
• Hockey will somehow play a part in “Zack and Miri”.
• Kevin does not intend to appear in any role (large or small) in either “Red State” or “Zack and Miri”.

And there ya have it, folks! Appetites satisfied, for now? No? Okay then, we’ll see what else we can dig up.
