TracyKEVIN SMITH WANTS JASON BATEMAN FOR NEW FILM
August 14th 2007 23:20
Okay, I’m showing some cheesiness this morning, I remember Jason Bateman from Valerie, the sit-com that followed the life of an ordinary suburban American family. It wasn't that exciting or funny, in fact it was formulaic and predictable but my main reason for watching it was Jason Bateman’s hunkiness. Plus, it was on back in the late 80s and I was too young to have developed any decent telly standards yet. That's my excuse. I’m not sure what excuse I have for my Teen Wolf Too adoration, again I can only put it down to age. To most people he is known for his role as Michael Bluth on the successful cult television sitcom Arrested Development.
Anywho, Kevin Smith, the American screenwriter, film director, and the founder of View Askew Productions as well as working on successful films such as Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting has recently been working on a comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno. He’s stated that the two main roles were written with particular actors in mind. Miri was supposed to be played by Rosario Dawson from Clerks 2, but due to scheduling issues, she wasn’t able to accept the role, apparently leaving Smith taken aback. Smith hasn’t yet revealed who will be playing Zack, but he has stated that it's an actor he admires and whom he hasn't worked with yet.
AICN (Ain’t It Cool News) reports that Smith is talking about Jason Bateman, the star of Arrested Development. And while that seems like an appealing combination, Bateman's has not actually confirmed this yet. It is expected that we’ll know soon, as Smith is known for keeping his fans aware of his plans.
The premise of the Zack and Miri Make a Porno is that two friends, both in their late 20s and feeling various strains of adulthood, decide to launch an amateur porn studio, as a triumphant story for their upcoming high school reunion.
So far, it seems that a poster has not yet been released so I couldn't include one in this post, as the film is due out in 2008. As a replacement, I added one of Jason Bateman which I didn't mind at all. And I'm sure there are some secret fans out there too, I can't believe I'm the only one....am I? Ah well....
