: Kevin
: Not that I want to get shot down or insulted like many others before me by fans that take it upon themselves to be your protectors (and seem to get very exasperated and pissed off at the smallest things!), but I think that if you have scripts, at least attempt to make them! Not to be blatant, but too much pride can become your downfall. If you have a script for Clerks 2: Hardly Clerkin' or Mallrats 2 go ahead and do it!
unless Kevin is filthy stinky rich, which I will take the positon that he isnt, he cannot self finance another script, and have it be up to the same production values we've become accustomed to. Every non independent film has to be pitched, and then either accept or rejected by the biggies. Then, its assigned a budget of sorts. See..this way, a movie about a girl who goes to las vegas, and becomes a showgirl..and has a lesbian kiss, and pronounces Versace as Versays, and pushes the lead dancer down the steps to take her place...wont be made. Get the point? Kevin can write all the scripts he wants. It would be up to Miramax to decide if they will back him on it or not..or another movie studio
