With less than two weeks left on principal photography, the first photo from Kevin Smith’s new comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno has hit the interwebs. The film stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as broke friends who decide to make a porn video to pay off their debts. “In the process, they uncover romantic feelings for each other.”
“The two leads (and entire cast) have remained brilliant. The first porno scene is spellbinding; funniest scene I’ve ever put on film,” Smith writes on his official website. “And ladies? [Jason] Mewes does full-frontal.”
Jeff Bock, an analyst with movie tracking firm Exhibitor Relations, claims that Zack and Miri Make a Porno is “one of the best titles of the year,” and that with Seth Rogen as the leading man, Smith has the potential of making more than his usual $20-$30 million.
“What’s weird about it is, it’s dirty. But it’s so incredibly sweet,” Smith told the newspaper.
Expect Zack and Miri Make a Porno to hit theaters sometime in Fall 2008.

sorry, but any kevin smith involvement has become a dealbreaker for me at this point. his last funny movie was chasing amy, and even that wasn’t nearly as good as clerks. the last few have been just goddamn awful. too bad, because i love seth rogan and the premise sounds funny. i just know it wont be if kevin smith is the guy here.

“goddamn awful”, really?
i dont understand the hate thrown smith’s way
ok jersey girl was a mistake, but i wouldn’t call it “goddamn awful”
and clerks 2 was great…so yea….?

Sorry, off topic but does anybody know if this is true? I figure someone a little closer to LA could maybe confirm or deny this, thankyou in advance.

I didn’t realize the extremely personal story of Chasing Amy was supposed to be an out and out laugh riot…
Personally, I’m excited. I’ll be honest though: Nothing can top my excitement for “Red State”.

Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was alright and Clerks 2 should have been written better but still enjoable. I liked Jersey Girl alot and Clerks and Mallrats are classic. I would normally not even care about this movie but now I’ll see it because it’s from Kevin Smith.
March 5th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Not me. Clerks 2 sucked hard. I mean it was even worse than I expected. I was surprised, really, at how bad it was. Kevin Smith is THE over-rated director of the 20th century. Or to be more clear, over-rated writer. More than Tarantino. Or maybe it is just because I have long outgrown any Beavis and Butthead impulses I might have once had. Huh huh huh huh…he said ass to mouth, huh huh…that’s so cool…

how sweet and endearing. Culture and high art are dead when stuff like this is taken seriously.
March 5th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Well there’s always the Star Wars tv series for Smith…

“‘goddamn awful’, really?

ok jersey girl was a mistake, but i wouldn’t call it ‘goddamn awful’”
um, yeah, jersey girl was awful. terribly awful. abc-after school special awful.
if you can’t see that, i can’t help ya, man.
and it ain’t ‘hate’ being thrown his way. nobody hates smith - he’s just not very talented, that’s all.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
I am, but I’m also excited to see Step Up 3D.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Not so excited to see Zack. Wouldn’t mind seeing Miri though…
March 5th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I don’t know, not a big Kevin Smith fan but I do like this Seth Rogen kid, so we’ll see what happens, hopefully it will be raunchy and not the sappy flop that Jersey Girl was
March 5th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Honestly, not so much. You’d think most ppl would be considering all the players in this. But I’m KINDA getting tired of seeing Seth Rogen everywhere.
Not only that, didn’t they already make a film about ppl making a porno to make money? What was it called… The Amateurs?

reminds me of the moguls

Kevin has given us American classics such as Clerks and Chasing Amy. I am excited about the film and proud of Kevin, because the film will be the one that breaks $100 million fr Kev. Kevin is one of the most inspirational directors working in Hollywood today and those who get it know how important he is
April 7th, 2008 at 11:09 am
I’m so excited!!
and waiting for Red State ..too (the other Kev’s film but maybe until 2009?)..
