Jason Mewes, better known to most as Jay to Kevin Smith’s Silent Bob, is teaming up with Twilight sensation Kristen Stewart for a prison comedy. And if that’s not weird enough, Kristen Stewart will play a dude!

We actually first hard about this project back in November. Jason Mewes toplines the film while Stewart co-stars with fellow Twilighter Nikki Reed. Both undergo gender transformation for their roles. It’s directed by Kristen Stewart’s mother Jules, which I guess explains how they landed one of the hottest commodities in Hollywood to show up for it. The update here is that this isn’t just some crazed fantasy after all, it’s really happening.

Jason Mewes stopped by Moviehole today and talked to them about the movie, being called K11. He says their start date in January slipped, but they’re shooting in August or September. This may have something to do with Stewart’s commitment to the Twilight sequel New Moon which is due out in November and should by this time, be heavy into production if they plan to have it ready by fall 09.

As for Mewes, it’s always great to see him getting more parts outside of Smith’s View Askew universe. With his willingness to go full testicle for a role, he’s the perfect choice for any prison shower scene. Click over to MH for more on Jason’s role in K11.

2. Shannon Hamilton from Mallrats

With a shitty attitude, a pretty boy mug and a propensity for combining backdoor sex with New Kids on the Block lyrics, there are few douches that can touch Shannon Hamilton. Played by Ben Affleck — no stranger to douchebaggery himself during his J-Lo phase — Shannon has the lofty position of being a manager of an upscale men’s clothing boutique in a Jersey outlet mall. Arrogant, smarmy and trying desperately to force overpriced slacks on people, Shannon is a classic big screen tit, the kind of douche who’d stoop to almost any level to try and screw your girlfriend in an uncomfortable place — and no, we ain’t talking about the back of a Volkswagen.

Take a look at the whole article, and you’ll see he’s among some other fantastic memorable movie characters, including Burke from “Aliens” and Walter Peck in “Ghostbusters”.

What 2006 movie features characters named Dante and Randall, who work in a fast food establishment called Moobys?

2. Put it all on credit cards

The Film: Clerks

The Filmmaker: Kevin Smith

The Story: “I put the $25,000 budget on my credit cards,” recalls Smith. “Everything but American Express, because they make you pay it at the end of the month.”

Smith used family loans and leveraged his income to help pay for the black & white movie, which he shot in and around the shop he already worked as a perfect free location.

The Warning: If you run up a huge debt, the closest you’ll get to “blockbuster” status is working there to pay it off.

“…I made the deleted scenes on the DVD of the hilarious Kevin Smith film “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks! My scene got cut from the theatrical release but thanks to today’s technological advances you can see me in Scene 12 “Delaney’s Flatscreen” on the Deleted Scenes menu. Check it out. It’s a cool scene with the hilarious Craig Robinson from The Office, Knocked Up and Pineapple Express. Working with Kevin and Craig was definitely the highlight of my comedy career! So buy the DVD, as the movie is funny and sweet and there’s a whole bunch of extras!”
