TIFF ‘08 Reporter’s Notebook: Kevin Smith on Canadian Critics, Brad & Jen’s Avoidance Techniques (E! Online)
E! Online - • Kevin Smith figures there’s one thing wrong with bringing a movie to the Toronto Film Fest: The audiences are way too polite. "In Toronto, nobody turns their nose up at almost anything," said Smith, in town to hype his latest comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks. "If you tank in Toronto, then something's seriously wrong with that movie." • Brad Pitt's promotion of his latest film, the Coen brothers' Burn After

'Zank And Miri' Poster Pulled
 MPAA vs. Kevin Smith: Round 3After the Motion Picture Association of America granted Smith's latest flick, Zack & Miri Make A Porno, with an "R" rating from their previous "NC 17" slam, they have now decided to ban the promo posters for the film.

'Gimme a head with hair'
So sang the cast of the musical Hair more than 40 years ago. But it's a command that's fallen on deaf ears at the Motion Picture Association of America. Yesterday, the U.S. ratings board confirmed that it has banned the poster for the new Kevin Smith film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which has its world premiere Sunday at the Festival. The poster depicts the two stars - a surprised-looking Seth Rogen and a smiling Elizabeth Banks, both fully clothed - in split images, staring straight ahead. At the bottom o

Seth Rogen Admits He Loves Porn - “I Watch Tons”
Seth Rogen is basically a class-A role model for up and coming filmmakers. Smoke a lot of weed and watch porn then you will become a successful Hollywood actor/director and writer. Anyhoo, Rogen admits that when he initially came to Hollywood that all he wanted was to work with Kevin Smith. His wish was granted. Rogen stars with Elizabeth Banks in Smith’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” a romantic comedy with a whole lot of skin showing. The 26-year-old actor recalled a meeting nearly a

Banned Poster of ‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’
The MPAA, film’s rating organization, recently banned the following poster for Kevin Smith’s upcoming movie, Zack & Miri Make A Porno, from the US. Their reason? The suggestively placed backs of heads. This is weird, considering a similar poster from another film had no problem getting past the censors - Sure, Dane Cook is 100 times hotter than [...]

Zack And Miri Make A Porno Poster
It’s no secret I’m really looking forward to the next Kevin Smith flick “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”. I thought the trailer was just hilarious, I LOVE Elizabeth Banks and I’m still a fan of Seth Rogan (but he’s still never sold me on his ability to actually be a LEAD in a film, I like him more in supporting roles so far). Anyway, this new Zack and Miri Make a Porno poster comes to us via our friends over at MoviesOnline and I think it’s pretty clever. Check it o

Toronto Review: Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno
To say I enjoyed Zack and Miri Make a Porno would be inaccurate. I loved it, every last second, right down to the mushy story about love and relationships that Kevin Smith gets to in the end. It's hilarious, it's saturated with sex, and it's charming, too. To be honest, I think Kevin Smith has actually taken a gigantic step forward, away from his previous films like Clerks and Dogma, and ventured into new comedic territory that used to only be reserved for Judd Apatow. I thought Seth Rogen might not be able

Kevin Smith to create original superhero movie starring Seth Rogen
Director and comic-book writer Kevin Smith told SCI FI Wire that he wants Seth Rogen to star in a superhero movie he’s developing, an original science fiction visual-effects extravaganza. “First, I’m going to do a 180 turn and do a horror movie called Red State,” Smith said in an interview Sept. 7 at the Toronto International Film Festival. “It’s going to be a total horror-political-psychological movie without a funny line in it. Then I’m going to do the science fi

The famed director wants to use the funnyman in a new superhero film.

Elizabeth Banks feels that bodily fluids are “all equal” when rating a film.
Elizabeth Banks has a few choice words for the members of the The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). We told you about her film ‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’ winning an appeal to lower its U.S. cinema rating. Banks and co-star Seth Rogen’s racy new comedy was initially slapped with an adults-only NC-17 certification, which would have prohibited people younger than 17 from seeing the film. Filmmaker Kevin Smith, fought the MPAA decision and won the appeal. Image Via WENN The movie

Rogen Shows Some Skin In Smith'S 'Zack And Miri'
TORONTO (AP) - All Seth Rogen really wanted when he came to Hollywood was to make a movie with Kevin Smith. His dream came true, and more: Rogen got to make a dirty movie with Smith. Rogen stars with Elizabeth Banks in Smith's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," a romantic comedy with a whole lot of skin showing. The 26-year-old actor recalled a meeting nearly a decade ago with a prospective agent who asked what his career goals were. That's when he confessed his desire to work with Smith, whose profanity-spe

Movie Review: Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno
I have a theory that Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno is actually just a chronology of Smith’s career so far as a filmmaker. The film starts off much like Clerks, with Seth Rogen trying to wake up for his dreadful job. Minutes later he is walking through the local mall with his roommate and best friend Miri, played by Elizabeth Banks, in a scene that is reminiscent of Mallrats. The high school reunion sequence that follows feels oh so Chasing Amy. And when Zack and Miri must band togethe

Zack and Miri Make a Porno
After the success of KNOCKED UP, Seth Rogen pairs up with another comely comedienne in ZACK & MIRI MAKE A PORNO. In this Kevin Smith comedy, two desperate friends (Rogen and SLITHER's Elizabeth Banks) decide to earn a little extra money by creating their own adult film, but they also discover that they may be more than just pals.

Elizabeth Banks funny, filthy
TORONTO - Bawdy, beautiful Elizabeth Banks is shivering, curled up in the refrigerated hotel suite where interviews for her latest comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, are happening. Her director, Kevin Smith, a publicist tells her, likes the temperature cold (shades, or chills, of David Letterman). "But I'm tiny," Banks protests with a laugh, wrapping herself in a sweater. Petite in size, maybe, but hardly in personality. Consider her breakthrough role in The 40-Year-Old Virgin as a dirty girl who

Domino Double Dating! Deborah Needleman and Jacob Weisberg Get Cozy With Elizabeth Banks and Hubby Max Handleman
"I don't know anything about what's happening at my magazine!" exclaimed Domino editor in chief Deborah Needleman Wednesday night at a party she was hosting for the magazine's fashion issue at socialite and contributing editor Alison Sarofim's West Village townhouse. Ah, Fashion Week. "I'm hoping it will still be there next week," she sighed. Ms. Needleman called Ms. Sarofim's house "the prettiest house I know. I can't figure out how to top it." Her own Tribeca loft, which sh

Elizabeth Banks: just one of the guys
With her angelic beauty, smarts and ability to take potty mouth to a whole new level, Elizabeth Banks may just be the ideal woman for a whole generation of males. "I'm a guy's girl," she says with a smile during a chat with the Star in a Yorkville hotel room yesterday. "I'm also a girl's girl. I cherish my girlfriends, too. But mostly because we all swear like truckers and talk about our vaginas." Those who adore that side of the 34-year-old will find lots to love in Zack and Miri Make

Love and Porn
As far as it goes, Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make A Porno is smooth and winning, largely due to Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks' engaging, alive-in-the-moment performances as longtime pals and roommates who discover, to their surprise, that they're in love with each other while making a low-grade, hand-to-mouth porn film. Call this one definitely better (and certainly more smoothly shot and cut) than Clerks II, heads and shoulders above Jersey Girl, a bit funnier than Jay and Silent Bob Strike

Toronto: Superman Goes Gay
Remember all of those advance rumors about "Superman Returns'' being the gayest superhero movie ever? They turned out not to be true at all, but I was wondering what ever happened to the actor who played Superman, Brandon Routh. It turns out Routh plays a gay porn star named Bobby Long (a reference to the John Travolta bomb?) in Kevin Smith's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno,'' which premiered in all its smutty glory to the press this morning. Just to doubly confuse things, actor Justin Long plays Bobby Long's b
