Jersey Girl (1 Viewer)

[Adam Lenhardt]

Well, Kevin Smith has posted his first entry into the Link Removed.
Unfortuneately, the Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back D.P., who was responsible for the best looking Smith film so far isn't returning. Miramax felt the look still wasn't good enough. The Kevin Smith/Jamie Anderson director/D.P. team was one that I thought would bring us alot more View Askew flicks. Alas, it was not to be...
Fortuneately, they got a good replacement. Vilmos Zsigmond; D.P. on flicks including Deliverance, The Deer Hunter, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind; has signed to lense Jersey Girl. Fortuneately, Smith knows his limitations and leaves the D.P. to do his own work, so Zsigmond should have a lot of freedom when lensing the flick. Personally, I'm excited.
Oh, and the title character will be played by Raquel Castro.

the d.p. from close encounters stooping down to a kevin smith movie?? what the hell?

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Not a fan of Smith's work, I take it?

Unlike Kevin Smith's previous five films, this is going to be his second film that doesn't stoop to dick and fart jokes and actually tell a real story (like Chasing Amy) and it'll be rated PG-13 so I dont have to get a parent to buy me a ticket to get in.

EDIT: I just checked and the vB code didn't convert right for whatever reason... the link has been updated.

hmmm...i'll wait for the trailers...but doesnt it have jennifer lopez in it?

 

[Matt Stone]

That's what I thought too Sam. IMDB still has her in it...but they've been wrong before.

 

[Morgan Jolley]

Chasing Amy didn't stoop to dick and fart jokes for MOST of it, but there were still some there.

Also, people say this film will destroy the "Jersey Trilogy" (Chasing Amy, Clerks, and Mallrats) by adding another Jersey-based film to the group, but technically Chasing Amy takes place partially in Jersey and New York City, so it's not exactly a 100% Jersey movie.

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Yes, cause a film not even associated with the "Jersey Trilogy" (or the View Askewniverse for that matter like the previous five films) will destroy it. :rolleyes

 

[Morgan Jolley]

I've heard people complain that since it takes place IN New Jersey, it will make the trilogy into a quadrilogy (or whatever the word is). Somehow that's a bad thing.

And you're right, it really isn't associated with the trilogy at all. It just so happens to take place in Jersey.

Just cause the film takes place IN Jersey doesn't mean it has to do with "The New Jersey Trilogy" (which is not even a trilogy due to Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back).

 

[Morgan Jolley]

The Jersey Trilogy are just the three films that take place in Jersey (Mallrats, Clerks, Chasing Amy). J&SBSB and Dogma were the last two made and don't take place in Jersey, so his first three movies are the "Jersey Trilogy."

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

SBSB and Dogma were the last two made and don't take place in Jersey

Dogma had major scenes in Jersey. Like the scene where John Doe gets the crap kicked out of him and the last forty minutes or so.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back also has scenes that take place in Jersey (such as the entire beginning and later scenes in the Quick Stop, Brodie's Secret Stash, and Holden's pad).

OMG! It's a remake!!!!!!

Let me restate...

Dogma and J&SBSB are the only two that don't take place entirely in Jersey (though Chasing Amy doesn't either).

 

[Matt Stone]

Morgan...where are you getting that info from. I've heard Kevin include Dogma and J&SBSB in the "Jersey Trilogy." Multiple times he said that J&SBSB was the last "Jersey movie."

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Multiple times he said that J&SBSB was the last "Jersey movie."

Kevin Smith has said many times that J&SBSB will be the last Jersey film and that Jay and Silent Bob will never be seen again (unless that Clerks animated feature gets off the ground). He even mentions it in the interview that Adam posted.

 

[cafink]

Dogma and J&SBSB are the only two that don't take place entirely in Jersey (though Chasing Amy doesn't either).

Morgan, please don't take this the wrong way, but this is without a doubt the most confusing sentence I've ever read.
Are "Dogma" and "J&SBSB" the only two? Or is it "Dogma," "J&SBSB," and "Chasing Amy" as well? You seem to be saying both in the same breath.

 

[HenrikTull]

Kevin Smith has said multiple times that the concept was originally to have a Jersey Trilogy, beginning with Clerk ending with Chasing Amy. Then the trilogy became 4 movies, then the final 5th movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Jersey Girl will be his first movie outside the View Askew universe and will not contain any characters from his other movies.
