- We’d like to give Sami, aka DanteChick20, mad props for transcribing what she recalls from the Jersey Girl extended Q&A session at Vulgarthon. Here’s her excellent summary of what took place. Oh, and a bonus tidbit we just remembered from the Clerks II Q&A session – Kevin actually wrote the role of Becky for his wife Jen, but after it was determined a major star needed to be in that role, he changed her voice for Rosario and fit Jen into the role of Emma. Good stuff. Here’s the Q&A:
- Carlin jumped at the chance to be in the flick, although was upset that he didn’t get to strangle the little girl (he told Kevin to write a movie in which he would be a minister that strangled children).
- He held onto the scene of Jennifer Lopez and Gertie dancing at the end for as long as he could. He really wanted to keep it, but because of the Bennifer press he knew he couldn’t. But, he held onto it until the last cut stage
- They had to pay through their teeth for “Landslide”. He showed the movie to Stevie Nicks and she sold them the song for 200,000.00. He said it was the most expensive song he purchased for a movie.
- The little girl that played Gertie got better at acting as the movie went on. When they were doing the initial days of shooting she really didn’t get into it. Even Ben and Jen (wow, 2 separate people) went to Kevin and said “I don’t think she can do this”, but after some creative editing on Kevin’s part it turned out great. Then by the end of the movie she got better.
- The role of Arthur Brickman, played in the movie by Jason Biggs, was supposed to go to Mewes, but because of his drug habit at the time, it was suggested to Kevin that he pick someone else.
- He always knew there was going to be a pageant in Gertie’s school, and he always knew it was going to be a song from Sweeney Todd because he loves the musical.
That’s all I can remember. After he answered the initial question, there was always a story to go with it as well which is cool. But, I remember mostly the answers. Hope this helps :).
