PAULSBORO — Kyle Lee can see the writing already.

“I’ll probably make a few shirts and hats that say, ‘I was in Jersey Girl,’ ” the 13-year-old said of his role as an extra in the Kevin Smith movie, which opens in theaters nationwide March 26. “It was in our town … It’s an experience I won’t forget.”

With the film’s release around the corner and a local advance screening March 10 at the Paulsboro High School auditorium — where a major movie scene takes place — the community may get to see Lee, his younger brother and parents in action alongside stars Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, George Carlin and Raquel Castro.

His mother, Jean Lee, said she turned up wherever scenes were shot during the three-month filming in 2002.

“I was like the movie stalker because it was being shot in Paulsboro,” Jean Lee said with a laugh, adding that she wouldn’t miss its local debut. “I’ve had it marked on my calendar.”

Mayor John Burzichelli said he’s happy to roll out the red carpet — literally — for a yet-to-be-determined list of dignitaries, including writer/director Kevin Smith.

“I’m gonna find one somewhere,” Burzichelli said of the proverbial Hollywood essential. “Remember, we’re in show business.”

Burzichelli said BP is covering the estimated $10,000 cost to transform the 689-seat auditorium into a theater, featuring state-of-the-art sound and projection.

Although she plays a mourner in Jersey Girl, 16-year-old Rosanne Henderson of West Deptford said she’s ecstatic about the movie’s opening.

“I like to brag about it to my friends,” Henderson said of her scene with Affleck, Jason Biggs and Carlin. “Definitely we’re going to get a big group of people and go see it.”

The mayor, who makes a brief appearance in the movie, said he has not decided yet how he will arrive at the upcoming black-tie optional gala.

And, he remains tight-lipped about the possibility for a star-studded Paulsboro premiere.

“We’re not in a position to confirm who will be in attendance,” Burzichelli said. “I don’t want someone to buy a ticket thinking there’s a guarantee that someone’s going to be there.”

Tickets will go on sale Saturday — for Paulsboro residents only — from the ticket window of Hill Studio, 35 W. Broad St., from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Cost ranges from $25 to $50, with all proceeds benefiting the Paulsboro Boys and Girls Club. Burzichelli said he expects to raise about $22,000 for the self-sustaining youth organization.

Judy MacKenzie, event chairwoman, said donating to the club was a no-brainer.

“Jennifer Lopez learned how to dance at a Boys and Girls Club,” MacKenzie said of the diva, who has a small part in the film. “That just seemed to be a place that would be appealing to everyone.”

Sam DeSimone, Paulsboro Boys and Girls Club chairman of the board of directors, said the club has not determined how funds will be used, but said they could come in handy for ongoing basement upgrades.

“We’re moving along and we’re really proud of the club,” DeSimone said.
