  • “Reel Paradise” will be a part of the Nashville Film Festival. It plays there on April 17th. John Pierson will be doing a Q&A during the festival as well.
  • Jason Lee will be appearing as the first guest on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on Monday, April 11th. We’ll see if he mentions the new sitcom or anything Askew-related.
  • The photo collection is already growing by leaps and bounds at Askew View. Nice organization as well. We dig it. Be sure to stop by there, check out the photos, and maybe even add some of your own from any of our past events.
  • Jason Mewes made his first appearance on Project Greenlight this week, as he was cast in the role of “Edgy Cat”. It was a brief showing but of course, he managed to get off a joke about flirting with the casting director. Greenlight is as good as ever this year. If you’re not watching, you should be.
  • Raquel Castro’s mother contacts us with the latest news on her daughter. They’ve just returned from a trip to Japan, where Jersey Girl was recently released:
Raquel was in several major Japanese magazines and news papers (can’t read the names they are in Japanese). One was a pic of her on the top of the Cerulean towers in Toshiba’s headquarters over looking Japan. Very cool. She did a press junket, along with a press conference. Pics can be found at wire image. Raquel and her brother David were on two major comedy TV shows (very funny) We went to Tokyo Disney on the last day. The movie is called Seka Papa there. We received many compliments about the film. Many Japanese men were very emotional about it. Said it made them think about their relationship with their daughters and asked Raquel’s advice, which she gave. Overall it was quite an experience. Raquel had a wonderful time. She just wished they had more American kid friendly TV. A thanks goes out to Tohko who took very good care of us.
  • Fred Tepper, who supervised the digital effects in Dogma, has a film coming out, direct to DVD, titled…“Sasquatch Hunters”. Interestingly enough, the company that arranged the distribution is the same company that’s handling Jeff Anderson’s “Now You Know.” “Sasquatch” hits shelves on April 12th.
  • Alanis Morissette talks with Rolling Stone about her upcoming projects, including her own TV show on Comedy Central, HERE.
