We have a rare audio treat to start today’s edition of newsbites for you - Courtesy our scooper, Guest Services and Envision Radio Networks, we have over a half an hour of audio from Kevin’s radio tour held late last month. Much of these segements were taped for local stations where we didn’t have connections to record it. So, for the first time, many of you can hear what went down in these small interviews, which were conducted to promote the new book. The first interview with WAAF/Boston starts with a recorded tape of part of a previous interview, then the regular interview starts, followed by WRIF inDetroit, and other stations. Enjoy and again thanks to our contributors!
/film names “Zack and Miri Make A Porno” as one of their Top 55 Must-See Films Of 2008. Admittedly, not a small list, but it’s darn smart to see us included there:
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Release Date: Fall 2008 (estimated)
Writer/Director: Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy)
Cast: ???, ???, Jason Mewes
The Buzz: Two friends, both in their late 20s and feeling various strains of adulthood, decide to launch an amateur porn studio — a knockout story for their upcoming high school reunion. I’m a huge fan of Kevin Smith’s work, and this sounds like a step back towards Chasing Amy, which is probably Smith’s best film to date.
Trivia: The Weinstein Company greenlit the project based solely on the title.

We’ve got a bit of print media for you as well today — UK’s Metro was launched in March 1999 as a free, color newspaper for morning commuters. At first it was only available in London, but now commuters in 13 of Britain’s major cities can pick up a free copy of Metro as they travel to work in the morning. Metro is the now world’s largest free newspaper and the fourth biggest newspaper in the UK. So, it’s no small news that Kevin appeared in a recent issue — Check out the scannage right here, full of some interesting quotes and facts cobbled together from stories over the summer.
