After becoming well and truly smitten with Rosario Dawson on the set of Clerks 2, it seems that Kevin Smith wants the actress to play the lead in his next comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
Already I want to see this movie.
Apparently it’s about two old friends who decide to start making homemade porn as their high school reunion approaches. And while it’s not a “View Askew” movie, Smith promises that Jason Mewes will make a quick appearance. Regarding Ms. Dawson’s involvement, MTV Movies tells us that no paperwork’s been signed yet, Smith admits “I’d be kind of flabbergasted if she didn’t do it.”
Smith plans to shoot “Zack and Miri” this year, and then move on to his horror film (Red State) early next year. The MTV article also gives us some more info on this particular project, and it seems that Mr. Smith wants to keep us a little bit in the dark for now: “You hear the log line about, like, religious fundamentalism gone awry, and you’re like, ‘All right, I kind of got the movie in my head.’ That’s Act One.”
The director is staying away from the hardcore gore material, claiming that he sees the project as similar to The Shining in some ways. Either way, color me curious.
