I’ve grown to like Kevin Smith more and more. A lot of people roll their eyes at me when I say this… but I honestly thought Clerks 2 was one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen (As a matter of fact, I put Clerks 2 on my original top 100 films of all time list before it got edited). Smith’s writing style (as he’s gotten older) has not “matured” so to speak… but developed. When you look past the donkey sex and deep philosophical discussion on the merits of ass-to-mouth, I found it to be a really accurate look at how many people in my age group are looking at themselves, their lives, their futures, and the meaning of their friendships.. all while being seriously funny.
With this evolution of Smith, I find myself more than ever really anticipating whatever he does next. As many of you know, one of Smith’s upcoming projects is a comedy entitled “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” which I think sounds just hilarious. And who does Kevin Smith want the role of Miri to go to? Looks like Clerks 2 star Rosario Sawson. Our friends at JoBlo give us this:
However, it seems like there will be at least one familiar face, as Smith told MTV that: “I wrote [the role of Miri] for Rosario Dawson… I’d be kind of flabbergasted if she didn’t do it.”
I was stunned how well Dawson fit into the Smith style. She was breathtaking in that movie… every regular guys dream girl. I hope she can fit this one into her schedule… I’d love to see her doing more of Smith’s comedy.
