This time ’round, we’re doing something a bit different. As this is our first production site under our new database system, we’re using that very database to drive BOTH sites. So, while you’ll still see all the latest news on the front page and in our RSS feed, folks looking to track ONLY the latest news on “Zack and Miri Make A Porno” will get it all at the production site. You won’t, however, need to check BOTH sites to get the latest news. That would just be making things tough on you.

As before, we will offer a few exclusive features only available at the production site. We’ve already got an up to date cast list, which will change as each confirmed member is announced. We’ll also be collecting a nice set of links and scans taking you to all the press on the film, from production through release and beyond. Finally, as muiltimedia offerings start to appear (photos, videos, ads, tv appearances, etc), those will also be archived in one simple place.

While we’re just getting underway, take a moment to pop over to our “Zack & Miri Make a Porno” production site – As always, we promise the most complete, one stop location for all the news on the new movie. Miss a previous production site? Our Dogma, J&SBSB, Jersey Girl, and Clerks II sites are still around for historical purposes.

SModcast 44: Thuffering Thucotash –

In which one of our heroes is accompanied by a special guest making his triumphant return with tales of orthodontia, long distance love, the bare necessities, cultural understanding, and talk of “Zack and Miri”. Plus, a quiz!

Three days were shot last week (Wednesday thru Friday) and they’re back to work today. So far, Mewes has appeared in just one shot. An early shot of the film took place at the historic Monroeville Mall, a spot we have visited many times. This is the mall where the original “Dawn of the Dead” was filmed. We hear they drew quite a crowd inside the mall. Anyone catch it?

Day two featured Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks in a car, and actually had them fighting snowfall – Welcome to Pittsburgh, PA. And yes, as always, Kevin is already having some footage cut together to look at (though with the shoot NOT being in Los Angeles this time, it’ll be a bit tougher).

It’s looking like SModcast will be your best way to hear the latest stories from the set as shooting continues on. If you’re a fan of the “Zack & Miri” production, this will be the way to keep up. For example, we heard there are actually GUNS used as props in the film. Guns, you say? Interesting, no? Once the new episode has run its course over at QSE, we’ll also archive the interesting bits at our new production site.

You can get the ‘SMod at one place, and one place only — That’s Quick Stop Entertainment, View Askew’s exclusive portal to everything that’s entertainment on the web.

BEN AFFLECK

F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote that there are no second acts in American lives. Then again, Fitzgerald probably never met anyone quite like Ben Affleck.

Shall we play a game?


Since the announcement of the supporting cast in the trades won’t be ’til probably Wednesday, and people wanna know now, I figured I’d give ya’ll something to discuss ’til then.


Here’s a glimpse of the supporting cast…

Gaze into the eyes in the photos above, and feel free to post your guesses in our comments area, share over at Kevin’s official forum, or send ’em on in to us! We’ll have the full cast right here as soon as it’s announced.

Roger’s right. Each flick we’ve done from “Mallrats” on has been incorporated under a different title.

The production company of “Mallrats” was Unstable Molecules.

The production company of “Amy” was Askew Too.

“Dogma” was Plenary Indulgence.

The “Clerks” cartoon was Toon Askew.

“Strike Back” was Too Askew.

“Jersey Girl” was New Askew.

“Clerks II” was Askew Part Deux.

“Zack and Miri” is Blue Askew (names that were also considered: Nude Askew, Screw Askew, Crude Askew;

Zack & Miri Make a Porno


This movie actually begins filming on Wednesday, so how can we already put it on our sleeper list? Well, look at that title. Oh yeah, it also stars Golden Boy Seth Rogen and is the next movie from cult filmmaker Kevin Smith. Smith is known these days to cut his movies together while filming, so the film should be ready to come out by fourth quarter. The success or failure of The Pineapple Express will dictate whether they push it out this year to strike while the proverbial iron is hot or delay it until enough time has passed. October.

With Labine already joining the two stellar leads, the film’s already shaping up to be one of the best comedic cast that Kevin’s ever put together. We can’t wait for the rest.
