The Next Kevin Smith Movie

Back in the day I was a huuuuge Kevin Smith fan. These days, I still like his movies, but can't say he's done anything truly interesting since Chasing Amy. That said, I just noticed a write-up for his new movie over at IMDB and it sounds pretty good, especially in light of the cast:

Lifelong platonic friends Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) look to solve their respective cashflow problems by making an adult film together. As the cameras roll, however, the duo begin to sense that they may have more feelings for each other than they previously thought.

The movie also stars Jason Mewes, Jeff Anderson, and Jim Norton (although he's not confirmed yet). Filming starts next week. Sounds like a potential winner to me.

Less of a sure thing, though still interesting, is Smith's second project in development, Red State, which is described as "A horror film in which a group of misfits encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America." This one apparently will star Smith himself, Jason Mewes and Jeff Anderson.
