More locations where you can catch “Now You Know” will be announced soon!
Controversial director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) says that his real “bread and butter” comes from appearing on the college lecture circuit. His remarks during question-and-answer sessions at colleges have proved so provocative that several of his lectures are due to be released on DVD on Dec. 17 under the title An Evening With Kevin Smith (Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment). In an interview with Video Store magazine, Smith said that after a recent showing of Chasing Amy, “a guy came up to me after it was all over and said, ‘The movie’s fine, but the Q&A is brilliant.’”
As you know, this film features a great cast, including director Jeff Anderson…And even some appearances from familiar View Askew faces.
So yep, after awesome audience responses at San Diego, Big Bear Lake and Greenwich Film Festivals, NOW YOU KNOW is headed to the big screen for one week in New York City!!! The movie will PREMIERE in Manhattan at the Crown Theatre One-Two (1271 Second Ave., 66th and 2nd) on December 4th with cast and several celebrities in attendance, and then open to the public on December 13th!

How do you thank America’s hottest new couple for starring in your movie? Director Kevin Smith is giving newly engaged Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck a custom-made video game to show his appreciation for their being in his recently completed film, “Jersey Girl.”
According to the New York Post, the game “Jen Saves Ben” features an animated Lopez, trying to find and rescue Affleck, who has been kidnapped and chained to a warehouse wall.
“J. Lo has to get him back but doesn’t know where he’s gone,” said Brad Graeber of Texas-based Powerhouse Animation Studios, which created the game. As she karate-kicks along, Lopez encounters an animated, ray-gun-toting Smith as well as Matt Damon, cast as an evil robot. She gets three tries to save her fiance without being killed, and if she succeeds, the couple kiss. The game plays a soundtrack of, big surprise, Lopez’s music.
Also, be sure and visit Powerhouse Animation’s website (also home to the famous “Heroes” Clerks spoof) for more pics, links, and details about the “Jen Saves Ben” game! Thanks also to Matt Damon Fan Page for more photos.
Notice that “Secret Stash” videogame up above? Looks like that one’s headed for that very place! If you needed another reason to go into Red Bank to visit the Stash, there it is! Wonder if it’ll take quarters or be set up for Free Play?
