Kevin Smith Reveals Project Details – Kevin Smith has been rumored to be attached to several projects coming up, especially since his July post on Twitter about a huge writing gig.  He revealed on his podcast recently that the project isn’t a film that many thought, but a t.v. show and he continued on by saying;

I know I’m being vague, I wish I could f*cking tell you and the moment I can tell you, man, I’m going to be like ‘blaaaaa!’ and you’re going to be like ‘what the f*ck!’ but it’s not a movie.  I’ve had a lot of people be like ‘oh, it’s a f*cking Marvel movie!’ Nobody would give me a movie. Nobody would give me a movie whatsoever. I’m struggling to make Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. This is a series thing, but it’s a f*cking dynamite series in a real weird, wonderful place. So, more as I know more.

 

 

Quick Hits – Wonder Woman actor Saïd Taghmaoui revealed that he was tapped to play the villain in the next Bond film, but with the change at director he now is unsure if he’s still got the role.  Andrew Lincoln is expected to appear in five or sex episodes of The Walking Dead in season 9.   Kevin Smith admitted to pitching the live action debut of Star Wars character Ahsoka to J.J. Abrams for the 9th installment of the saga.   Nintendo disabled the Video Capture feature on the Nintendo Switch for Fortnight in order to get the best game performance possible for the console.  Fans are obviously losing their minds over something that’s trivial.    Geek Vibes Nation tweeted out images of Joaquin Phoenix, who’s getting ready to portray The Joker in an upcoming film based solely around the Clown Prince of Crime.
