- For “Clerks II”, at this stage of the game, we’d already been watching the famous “Train Wreck” video blogs. We’d met most of the stars, seen the sets, and learned so many details about the hilarious sequel. So, this time around, it’s cool to see a more secretive, lower-tech approach to things. With shooting just a week away, we’ve still only been 100% promised the names of two stars, and we’ve yet to see ANY video of the production setup. Kevin broke the silence today, though, with what looks to be the first in a series of extensive WRITTEN blogs on the making of “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”.
The blog entires, in full, will be available exclusively at Kevin’s blog sites: Silent Bob Speaks and Myspace. If you haven’t already done so, bookmark ‘em up right now.
As always, we’ll alert you of new entires here, and run a couple interesting snippets to whet the appetite and break any big news from within. Let’s take a look:

We start shooting our eighth film on Wednesday.
It’s nice to see Kevin going back to the roots with reports on this one, and staying relatively cold on the stars and the plot. We’re hoping for continued reports like this, which delve into the background process yet still leave a bunch of surprises to be had in the theater.Read the entire “Making Porno, Part 1″, which reveals (for the first time in detail) Kevin’s rehearsal schedules for every film he’s made before, at his blog site.
