HeyUGuys Featured Podcast – No, Seriously It’s Awesome Episode One – Eurotrip
1 June 2012 3:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
HeyUGuys is proud to unveil the first episode of No, Seriously It’S Awesome, the world’s most startlingly unique and exciting film podcast.
And by that we mean it’s semi-original and mildly entertaining.
Look, there are plenty of movie podcasts out there, most of them are just two nerds talking about what was out last week. There’s nothing wrong with that, but everyone is talking about the Avengers already. We don’t need another voice telling us how great the Avengers is.
No, Seriously It’s Awesome is about something different. Each episode, your esteemed host Wil Jones will get a special guest to pick a film that they love that either a) everyone else hates, or b) no one else has even heard of, and then discuss the potential merits of said film. It’s about celebrating the unloved children of pop culture, the weird bastard »

Teaser poster for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For
14 May 2012 1:10 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Director Robert Rodriguez finally announced last month that production is set to begin this summer on the long-in-development sequel to his and Frank Miller's cult 2005 comic book adaptation Sin City, and just to confirm that Sin City 2 - a.k.a. Sin City: A Dame To Kill For - actually is happening (at long last), a first teaser poster has now made its way online via StarkIndustries:
As with its predecessor, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For will be directed by both Rodriguez and Sin City creator Miller, with Miller and Academy Award-winner William Monahan (The Departed) contributing to the screenplay for the eagerly-awaited sequel. So far only Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) and Rosario Dawson (Clerks II) are confirmed as reprising their roles as Marv and Gail, although Rodriguez has promised that many of the original cast are likely to return.

Edward Burns' Inspiration For 'Brothers McMullen 2'
27 April 2012 8:48 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Audiences are used to seeing sequels to big-budget Hollywood blockbusters like "The Dark Knight," but are continuations of indie films the next trend? Judging by upcoming releases from filmmakers such as Julie Delpy and perhaps Edward Burns, maybe so.
"I like doing sequels," Delpy told HuffPost Entertainment senior writer Mike Ryan. Delpy is currently promoting "2 Days in New York," a sequel to her 2007 film "2 Days in Paris."
"I think it's a fun thing to follow characters in time," she said at the Tribeca Film Festival. "We did that on 'Before Sunset' [a sequel to 'Before Sunrise'], which was really ballsy at the time. When we wrote the screenplay, no one believed in it. And it did better than the first film, in a way. And doing this sequel is not an obvious thing to do."
It isn't, but Delpy is far from alone. While discussing his new American Express-backed short film "Doggy Bags »

Dawson and Rourke In For “Sin City 2″
19 April 2012 2:34 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Sin City: A Dame To Kill For has officially been greenlit and Robert Rodriguez is out to bring the gang back together from the 2005 hit, according to Joblo.com. With that, Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) and Rosario Dawson (Clerks 2) have already been confirmed in what is sure to be a star studded cast. It sounds like Clive Owen could be next, once Robert actually tells him that it’s a go. After Rodriguez shoots the upcoming Machete sequel, then A Dame To Kill For is on the docket, and I can’t deny that I’m excited for both movies, and am looking forward to some new blood in the series as well.

Raging Bull II To Start Production This Summer
5 April 2012 4:34 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
It's not uncommon for us to hear about sequels coming years after the original was released. Hell, just this week we have American Reunion coming out, which is the first direct sequel in nine years, but there's also movies like Tron Legacy, Clerks II, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and even the upcoming Prometheus (which is technically a prequel). Sometimes the move is understandable, and sometimes it has us going "what the hell?" This is one of those times that lands in the latter category. According to MovieHole, Raging Bull II, a sequel to the Martin Scorsese 1980 Oscar-winning classic, is in its casting phase and will be going into production this summer. Based on the book by Chris Anderson, Sharon McGehee and Jake Lamotta, the film is being directed by Martin Guigui and will star William Forsythe as Lamotta, the character portrayed by Robert De Niro in the original.

Kevin Smith’s Clerks III will be on Broadway?
5 April 2012 7:28 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
“Jay and Silent Bob may return. As for now, they’re taking it easy”…
These are the words that were read after the credits had rolled on Clerks II – a sequel to Director/Writer Kevin Smith’s 1994 breakthrough Clerks. And it seems as though the next time we will see the dope-dealing duo will be on a Broadway stage.
Since confirming that his next film (Hit Somebody) will be his last film as Writer/Director, Smith has been concentrating his efforts on smaller projects – such as a very popular series of Podcasts and helping to get TV reality show Comic Book Men off the ground – and it was during the launch of his new book that he spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his plan to bring Clerks III to the stage.
Smith goes into a surprising amount of detail for a project that was only conceived a couple of mere months ago. »

Kevin Smith Announces His Plans to do Clerks III on Broadway
4 April 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
By far one of my all-time favourite writer-directors, Kevin Smith announced last year that he intends to have Hit Somebody be the final film he directs.
Like all other Smith fans out there, the thought of a finite number of Smith projects left was devastating, but he’s thankfully since gone on to say that he’ll be working in different media and in other ways.
EW recently spoke to Smith at a book signing in New York – for his latest book, Tough Sh*t: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good (available in the UK now: here or here, for example) – and he talked about his plans on revisiting the world of his first and seventh films in an entirely different format:

'Clerks III': Kevin Smith on bringing his Jersey boys to Broadway -- Exclusive
3 April 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
When Kevin Smith announced last year that his upcoming hockey movie Hit Somebody would be his final film as a director, you could almost hear a collective sigh of disappointment from hard-core fans of Dante and Randal, Jay and Silent Bob. Smith’s convenience-store drones and derelicts introduced Smith’s Jersey brand of profane wit in 1994′s Clerks, and a successful 2006 sequel proved that audiences hadn’t had enough. Smith’s retirement threatened to kill any chances of completing the Quik Stop trilogy — a challenge you’d think might tempt the Star Wars-obsessed Smith. Well, there is a new hope. »

Kevin Smith wants to take “Clerks 3″ to Broadway
29 March 2012 2:54 PM, PDT | GordonandtheWhale | See recent GordonandtheWhale news »
Clerks was a big part of what really got me into film. Yeah, I know. It's totally a cliche choice to pick for that, but it is still true. I remember watching the movie whenever I was far too young, repeatedly, and as I got older my appreciation only grew more. Then Clerks 2 came out, and it gave us a better look at what these characters were like ten years later, trying to figure out their thirties.

Smith Wants To Take Clerks To Broadway
29 March 2012 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Filmmaker Kevin Smith is planning to revive Clerks - on Broadway.
The director wants to make a third installment to follow up his cult movies Clerk and Clerks II, but only if he can launch it on the New York stage.
Smith hopes to open the play at the end of 2014 to mark the 20th anniversary of his directorial debut Clerks, about two convenience store workers.
Chatting about his plans at a book signing on Tuesday, he explained, "I do want to do it as a play... That would make me excited - to do a f**kin' live show."
But Smith will only go ahead with his plans if Clerks star Jeff Anderson will commit to performing in a live show.
He adds, "The one person who will be the hurdle on this... the person I'm going to have to convince, that's Jeff Anderson... If I can't convince him, there's no point in doing it; he is the key to Clerks for me. If he says yeah, then that's what we'll do - we'll do it as a Broadway play, which I think will be so fun for all of us." »
Kevin Smith wants to do Clerks 3.....on Broadway?
29 March 2012 9:05 AM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
Eighteen years after Clerks, and six years after Clerks 2, director Kevin Smith wants to continue the story of Dante, Randall and the universe that made his name, with a third installment of the series, not as a film, but as a stage play. Speaking at a publicity event for his new book, he let known his idea of a play featuring the characters, but at this stage that is all it is: an idea. This follows news that he plans to resurrect the short lived Clerks cartoon, cancelled after only 2 episodes were aired, as a weekly internet series. It seems he's sticking with his commitment of retiring from film making, but seems to want to branch out with his established characters in different. An idea I am totally down with. I'm totally biased, been a die hard fan of his, but anything that keeps his work on any type of screen, »

Kevin Smith to Revive 'Clerks' on Broadway?

The Saturday interview: Rosario Dawson
16 March 2012 5:10 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Rosario Dawson's acting break came when she was just 15, in Larry Clark's troubling film Kids. She's built a thriving career since, but it's her work as a political activist that sets her apart
Rosario Dawson is not like other Hollywood actors. Consider this: she's 32, and in her 20s decided she'd had enough of being judged on her looks, so took to wearing enormous sweatshirts to auditions.
"I'd perform my ass off, and the casting directors would be like, 'You are perfect for this role, but can you wear something a little less shapeless?'" Her manager would bargain with her. She could wear a roll-neck jumper, he said – but could it at least be a fitted one? "I'm like, 'Ugh, fine', but these stupid conversations needed to be had, because unfortunately, don't believe what they tell you, there's very little imagination in Hollywood." She hoots with laughter.

Luke Owen's Desert Island Collection

1. Ghostbusters - Quite simply, this is the perfect movie. Funny, heart-warming, exciting and thoroughly entertaining. Dan Aykroyd is my hero.
2. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope - While Empire is technically a better movie, I'm taking A New Hope because it is a complete movie. It has a beginning, a middle and an end which ties up all the loose threads. The problem with Empire is that as soon as it ends you'll want to watch Jedi...
3. Jurassic Park - This was a tough one as I only wanted to take one Spielberg movie and he has far too many good films under his belt, but Jurassic Park is just a masterpiece of cinema. Awe-inspiring visuals, great characters and action set-pieces that have you on the edge of your seat. I'm taking Jurassic Park over E.T. because there is nothing »

Kevin Smith: 5 Best & 5 Worst
8 February 2012 6:55 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Since his breakthrough comedy Clerks, Kevin Smith has secured his position as one of Indie cinema’s leading directors. His films are defined by his own brand of bittersweet comedy with iconic slacker characters and an ability to walk a perfect line between profane gross out comedy with genuinely affecting drama. That’s depending on who you ask of course, as for some Smith’s New Jersey flavoured dramedies have often been criticized as mawkish, immature and self indulgent.
Whatever your stance on Smith, his influence on independent cinema since the early ’90s has been huge, with many up-and-coming young filmmakers owing a debt of gratitude to Smith. His controversially outspoken persona has also made him one of cinema’s most engagingly entertaining voices – as witnessed by his hugely successful one-man tours. Recently his public spats with critics have caused much debate, while Smith himself has also suggested that he’ll soon retire from filmmaking. »

DVD Review: Red State
19 January 2012 1:47 PM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Michael Parks, Kyle Gallner, Michael Angarano, Melissa Leo, John Goodman, Kerry Bishé | Written and Directed by Kevin Smith
Kevin Smith’s recent output has been received; it’s fair to say, with a great deal less fervour than he would have been used to with his earlier work. Clerks 2 was an unnecessary and tedious revisit to former glories, and this reviewer gave Zack and Miri Make a Porno and Cop Out a wide berth after the near unanimous pillorying they were subject to. However buzz on this film had been interesting. Perhaps not broadly positive, but definitely interesting. Furthermore, Red State marks Smith’s first true step away from the genre of comedy, so many, myself included, were curious to see how Smith fared out of his comfort zone.
