Zack by blondeman	Aug 14th, 2007 01:39:23 AM
I thought it was going to be Zack Braff for some reason. I know they met about doing other projects before - wouldn't surprise me to see them deciding to work together. Plus his name is Zack. I'm more interested in who plays Miri. I hope he gets a chick whose boobs I ain't seen in the movies yet. Rosario is hot but I can see her na-nas pleanty of other places.
I Don't See It by Birdys Piano Teacher	Aug 14th, 2007 01:39:25 AM
Seems like an "Al Bundy shoehorns the fat woman's feet into shoes much too small for her" kind of a fit to me.

Jason Bateman NEEDED this resurgence in his career. by nomihs	Aug 14th, 2007 01:41:18 AM
With all the work he has done lately, Bateman is heating up all over again. I like his characters that he plays, he brings a little "Teen Wolf Too" to every role. Now if we could just find something for Justine to do.
cool! by tendermelon	Aug 14th, 2007 01:44:24 AM
We already know how fantastic he is with clever dialogue
Bateman is Great Man by futureman3000	Aug 14th, 2007 01:45:03 AM
Will Arnett, Michael Cera and Jason Bateman are getting way more stuff then I thought they would have after Arrested Development and it's great!
Justine hasn't aged well by Doc_Strange	Aug 14th, 2007 01:49:53 AM
Seen her in that show Men in Trees, she looks terrible. And I used to think she was hot stuff.
Bateman's got Magorium, Kingdom & Hancock by smackvein	Aug 14th, 2007 01:55:15 AM
This (in addition to Juno, which will probably get great reviews) will be the project to take Bateman over the top
I'm so glad the Arrested Development cast.... by eggbeater	Aug 14th, 2007 01:59:57 AM
is finally getting some credit after the show. Cera is doing Superbad. Bateman is steadily workin. And Will Arnet seems to be chillin with the Will Ferrell crew. Good Stuff. I think i'm done with Kevin Smith though. If Bateman wasn't attached to this I wouldn't give two shits about it.
Kristen Wiig as Miri!!! by BadMrWonka	Aug 14th, 2007 02:02:08 AM
you know she can bring the funny, and can you honestly name an actress higher on the "want to see nude but will accept any semi-nude morsel that is thrown our way" list? Kevin, get Wiig. you know you read the shit here on moviepoopshoot.com! she will make you love improvisation after Affleck ruined it for you!
Is this set in the Askewniverse? by ScienceMan	Aug 14th, 2007 02:03:06 AM
Sorry if that's a stupid question. Can't get enough of Smith's work. I'd be happy if revisits the Askewniverse from time to time for however many decades he is fortunate to continue making films. He's fighting the good fight and is one of my favorite and most respected filmmakers. Really dig his stuff and looking forward to this. I would give my left nut to hang out and smoke and drink beers with Mr. Smith. Keep 'em coming, Kevin!
The Ex was under-rated... by DanielKurland	Aug 14th, 2007 02:08:09 AM
With a different cast, it may have been terrible, but Bateman did a very good job. I wish he got that fucking Emmy.
her and Bateman would be comedy gold... by BadMrWonka	Aug 14th, 2007 02:08:21 AM
the nudity would just be the tasty cherry on top of the sundae...
justine bateman as miri! by s0nicdeathmonkey	Aug 14th, 2007 02:13:14 AM
amazing!
Xiphos by blondeman	Aug 14th, 2007 02:25:45 AM
Yes, I think Wiig is dying to show off her cans in a Kevin Smith comedy. Lord knows it did wonders for both Priscilla Barnes and Joey Lauren Adams' careers. Wiig would be a cool choice though. I would also vote for Amy Adams and Isla Fisher....either one really I have trouble telling them apart. Also Jenna Fischer has a nice rack that I wouldn't mind seeing.
"Justine Bateman as Miri!" would be a great dichotomy. by nomihs	Aug 14th, 2007 02:37:35 AM
C'mon, just brush off some of the cobwebs, work out your body a little, get it tight. Forget that you made that movie with Qui-gon and put your best foot forward.

Kevin Smith Is A Fucking Hack And Other Obvious Shit by PervOmatic	Aug 14th, 2007 05:50:25 AM
That should be the title of his next film. Hey fatty McShortsWithATrenchCoat, have you learned how to move a camera yet or even how to stage dialogue? No, I didn't think so. Another crapfest aimed and male teenage bridge & tunnel retards. I can't wait to not watch this garbage.
Kevin Smith to film "CLERKS III: BACK TO THE WELL" by Daddylonghead	Aug 14th, 2007 05:56:39 AM
In it, unlikeable white guys say stupid things, incompetently filmed. Plus, a sexually attractive female cast.
And yeah, he did say he was making a horror film by PervOmatic	Aug 14th, 2007 05:59:26 AM
But most of what comes out of Smith's mouth is just like what comes out of most of his projects: Complete and absolute fucking bullshit.
To all the people (Kevin Smith included) who say... by beastie	Aug 14th, 2007 06:45:14 AM
he's a bad director. Check out the Pilot for Reaper. Even when he's not directing his own material, the man can get a great line delivery out of almost anyone. A major part of being a good director, is making your actors good, and Kevin Smith's directing can take a cheesy line and make it funny as hell, even if he isn't moving the camera very much. BTW, I'm not a Smith fanboy (Edgar Wright maybe), I thought Dogma was underwhelming and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was complete directorial masturbation. I still respect him as a director, though. Anyway, I look forward to seeing Bateman deliver Smith dialogue.

haha couldnt be happier for this cast choice, although he doesnt fit the age description from what i heard of the script. We'll see if this turns out to be right...
Kristen Wiig info... by xcornealiousx	Aug 14th, 2007 08:11:44 AM
Kristen Wiig just signed on to star in two movies this week: http://www.darkhorizons.com/ne ws07/070813h.php I mean, obviously who doesnt want to see her grace the screen in the nude..problem is, aint happening. PLUS who says we actually see anyone nude? I mean if we want to list off funny hot chicks we want to see nude let the list begin! Jenna Fischer, Sarah Silverman (who has a dirty mouth and would fit into the kevin smith world at ease), Amy Adams..i can continue.. anyways...you guys gotta realize how many female roles has kevin smith filled with actresses who are known as comedians? not any really. so dont look for the chick to be a comedian...he wrote the part for rosario who isnt naturally funny. ALSO for the reader who was asking about the horror flick by kevin, hes doing it directly after this movie, and the only reason this one is shooting first is because of the reaction people like the weinsteins had after reading the script...they loved it.
KEVIN SMITH NEEDED PORN to restart his career. by hatespeech	Aug 14th, 2007 08:27:58 AM

Then maybe...JUST MAYBE WE CAN GET THAT BATEMAN ON BATEMAN Action we've always wanted to see...now thats worth my $10.00
I really like his films... by Jakes Nel	Aug 14th, 2007 08:55:25 AM
...if only from a slacker point of view, but I do wish the guy would move onto other things. Maybe this is it. Then again, he said he was done with his 'Jersey Chronicles' after Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. And what did we get? Jersey Girl and Clerks 2...
Rosario didn't want to slum it again by BrowncoatJedi	Aug 14th, 2007 08:57:25 AM
Working with Smith once was enough and now it's an embarrassment to have Clerks 2 on her resume. "Sorry, Kevin, I'm washing my hair all winter. Can't be in Zack and Miri."
Is she really out though? by Falcon5768	Aug 14th, 2007 09:03:56 AM
Rosario only opted out because shes in another movie shooting at that time. If Smith where to move back production, whats to say she wouldnt sign on then? Obviously Smith isnt even close to being ready for Oct when the original planned shoot dates where.
Oh god I wish Rosarion would make a porno by ELGordo	Aug 14th, 2007 09:07:04 AM

A shot in the dark this, by Lost Prophet	Aug 14th, 2007 10:38:22 AM
but I suspect it may involve 2 central character's one of whom will be male, the other female, and they will attempt to make a porno. Much hilarity will ensue.
I like Smith... But didn't National Lampoon do this? by ZeroCorpse	Aug 14th, 2007 11:04:23 AM
It was called "National Lampoon's Barely Legal" and it's about a few high school losers who make a porno. Actually, there was also "The Girl Next Door", too. How is this one better/different?
fatboy is still trying to be a real director? by supermarch	Aug 14th, 2007 11:29:30 AM

If Jason Bateman was a good guy by vanfan	Aug 14th, 2007 11:33:59 AM
He would have gotten his sister Justine a TV or Movie role by now. If it wasn't for her, he never would have done anything.

You flamers would suck his cock... by expert40	Aug 14th, 2007 11:57:40 AM
... if you could. I always find it the funniest thing that the people on these talk-backs are always the biggest haters of people they should admire the most. I mean, for fuck's sake! Kevin Smith IS the original talk-backer. He's a fucking geek who took a huge chance that could have fucking ruined him and made a great film. Then he got to go to L.A. and fuck Joey Lauren Adams when she was the hottest piece of ass around, made some pretty decent movies and the best Bennifer I move ever. And all y'all can do is hate. Dogma may have had cheesy effects, but that movie was great. Jay and Silent Bob made all you fuckers laugh, and you know it. It makes me laugh every time I watch it. Chasing Amy is just a great movie, and one of the most truthful movies I've ever seen. The truth in that movie hurts so much it makes it hard to watch sometimes. Mallrats was okay, and Clerks and Clerks II were exhibitions on how clever dialogue can carry movies. How many of YOU frustrated wannabe directors would trade your miserable lives living in your parent's basements to live in his shoes, someone you call a worthless hack? I would say ever last motherfucking one of you would. It's absolutely amazing the kind of shit you people give to one of your own who made it. Y'all are fucking cannibals, JEALOUS motherfucking cannibals. Porch Monkey 4 Life (I'm taking it back) motherfuckers! Porch Monkey 4 LIFE!!!
Does a motherfucking cannibal by And Nicolas Cage as Fu Manchu	Aug 14th, 2007 12:05:57 PM
Eat his mother before, after, or during fucking her? Also, if he is jealous of his mother, is he jealous because he finds her taste so succulent or her beauty so arousing? Finally if his mother is a cannibal (since it runs in families) does he employ any safeguards to prevent reciprocal eating or is that all just part of the turn-on? These are the kind of questions that prevent me from obtaining respectable employment.
blondeman by Quin the Eskimo	Aug 14th, 2007 12:19:02 PM
excellent list, sir. All good choices. I'll have to vote for Amy Adams. She has a natural sweetness to her. Though I doubt she'll do any nudity. Though she might 'cause after all the Disneyfied roles she's takes as of late, she could use a little adult cred. Especially as she's frittering away her Junebug good will. Jenna Fischer has The Office so I doubt she'll do it (schedule). I gotta guess she's on the Weinsteins list though. Isla Fisher is probably the best bet, but of those three she is my number three. She was funny in Wedding Crashers (haven't seen Hot Rod), but I don't know if she can turn a phrase.

Kevins horror project by gfunk1979	Aug 14th, 2007 05:02:58 PM
Kevin Smith is still going to make his horror project, titled Red State, but Zack and Miri was so well received by everyone around him that he decided to make that first. Plus he hadn't or hasn't quite finished the script for Red State yet. To those who asked, no Zack and Miri is not set in the Askewniverse and neither is Red State.Finally to all those bad mouthing Kevin and his movies, how about actually seeing Zack and Miri before you start lighting your torches and grabbing your pitch forks?! Or better yet, how about doing some research before spouting your so illinformed bile?! I'm a Kevin Smith fan by the way!!!

It's good to see him getting more roles.

two twin "Harrys" with blue dresses and shoulder length brown hair. Otherwise, it ain't nothing but cruising around on a Big Wheel in a hotel with stank wallpaper.
I have praised Kevin and bagged Kevin by hallmitchell	Aug 14th, 2007 06:37:53 PM
I like the direction he's going in. He's my favourite comic book writer of all time. He's gone away from the Jersey Universe. He's just been In Die Hard 4. He's directed pilots for Reaper and Heroes: Origins. I think he's trying to get more director experience so he can finally make that comic book movie. Whatever it is. Let's praise this. Even though I liked Clerks 2. I am glad he's stepping away from it.

Not that anyone gives a shit but... by TheRealSeveren	Aug 14th, 2007 06:40:44 PM
FROM THE AWARD WINNING VIEW ASKEW SITE: "A rumor crossed our path over the weekend regarding a potential actor for “Zack and Miri Make A Porno” - The scoop mentioned nothing of this actor playing the lead role, but rather, just playing a part in the film. That actor’s name is Jason Bateman, whose recent memorable turn as Michael Bluth on “Arrested Development” has showcased his great comedic talents. Today, Ain’t It Cool News has added fuel to the fire posting the same rumor, though we’re unsure if this comes from the same source or elsewhere. We tend to check on stuff like this before we post it, hence why you didn’t see it here - As far as we know, this is just not true. Not only is Bateman not currently signed to play Zack, he’s not signed to play any roles at all in the film. Naturally, we LOVE the idea of the guy being involved in this film or any View Askew project, so that’s not to say this could change — We just wanted to set the record straight as far as what we knew as fact, at the present time. We’ll keep on top of all the latest casting news for you, right here." Boycott the internet. By the way, I respect all of you.
Jason Bateman by hallmitchell	Aug 14th, 2007 06:42:58 PM
I liked him in what I've seen. Yet this movie, this casting doesn't inspire me. I want Will Hung from the American Idol auditions.
I've seen thousands of movies of all different types by cromwell1666	Aug 14th, 2007 06:52:26 PM
and have only walked out of 2 becausse I couldn't take it anymore. One was Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes and the otherwas Clerks. I guess I just didnt get it. I never attmepted to watch another complete Kevin Smith movie,but I saw enough of Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob to know I prob. would've walked away from those too had I been in a theater.

Every since I confronted him last year at ComicCon about the Black Cat/Spiderman series I told him he fucked up big time and could have gotten awards for the storyline alone. I still can't believe he made us wait for 2 years just so he could direct Jersey Girl and Clerks 2. What a douchebag.

Mosier's influence, so to speak. by riskebiz	Aug 15th, 2007 03:11:15 PM
I think Smith's comfort zone is mostly based on whether Mosier is interested in a project. Green Hornet? Yeah, Smith was interested, but leaving the project had less to do with it being action and therefore out of his comfort zone than it was that Mosier had no interest in doing it. Mosier didn't want to do Hornet? Smith was done with it, too. Red State? If I were a betting man, I think as Mosier's commitment to doing a horror-flick wanes, Smith's will as well. I think Mosier welds a lot of power in that relationship. Smith ought to cut the umblical cord when it comes to projects like Green Hornet and such ... because although a comfort zone isn't a bad thing, it is when you turn down good opportunties. Also, (in regard to the podcast) if Smith wants to convince Mosier to get off of regular wipes and get onto wet ones, he ought to do this test: Have Mosier do his business and clean to his satisfaction with regular and when he thinks he clean and all done, take a swipe with the wet ones. He will give up using regular from that point foward. Also, it uses less paper.
