: : Posted by Kevin at 64.167.84.14 on June 21, 2001 at 00:37:45: : : So the trailer's now locked. It's about a minute and nine seconds. Fun stuff. : : Phil and Vordo are mixing it tomorrow morning, Phil will compress it in the afternoon, and Ming will show up at night to hurl it into the cyber void so ya'll can download it at 9pm pacific/12am eastern. Remember to download the latest version of Quicktime beforehand. : : On Soundtrack(s): Universal's doing the soundtrack, which is kind of poetic, as they also put out the 'Rats' CD (let's hope both the soundtrack and the flick itself fare better in the marketplace than poor l'il 'Rats'). It comes out two weeks before the flick, and it's packed with some great songs by Stroke 9, Afroman, Morris Day and the Time, Marcy Playground, PJ Harvey, Bloodhound Gang, Bon Jovi, and a host of others. We're even getting a chance to sort of right a past wrong, by putting Dave Pirner's 'Tube of Wonderful' (the title theme of 'Amy', also heard in 'Jay and Silent Bob') on the disc. And yesterday I pulled a slew of dialogue clips for interludes between the tracks. : : It's also going to be an enhanced CD - which means there's some video on it as well (for those of you with CDRom capability). Look for the first 'net trailer on the disc, as well as a for-the-soundtrack-only video of 'Jay's Chant 2001', comprised of a bunch of footage from the flick. : : As if that's all not enough, I've heard there's going to be a movie cash coupon included in the CD for a few bucks off the price of admission to the flick (five bucks off, I believe - but don't quote me). : : Before I sound any more like a Universal Records pitch-man, I'm going to stop talking about the 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' soundtrack... : : ...and START talking about the 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' SCORE Soundtrack. That's right: this flick's so big, there's not just one soundtrack, but TWO! The Score Soundtrack is all of Jim Venable's music for the flick (which you've heard in the first 'net trailer, and will hear more of in the second 'net trailer tomorrow night). Ink's not dry on the deal, but it's being put out by a very reputable score soundtrack label (other than Universal). Congrats to Jim, and us too. : : In other news... : : E! ran a story about the flick yesterday. Brad and Chris might have it up at Newsaskew later in the week. : : The two videos we're shooting in Jersey next week are for the Stroke 9 song 'Kick Some Ass' and the Afroman song 'Because I Got High'. I'm not directing either (Greg Dark and Cousin Mike are the respective directors), but Jay and I are in both. Hopefully, they'll start airing in late July. : : We've started initial talks about an interesting distribution outlet for the ill-fated 'Dogma' DVD documentary. It's farther down the road, but it'll be pretty sweet if it works out. : : Hope you all dig the trailer. Spread the word that it's going up tomorrow night here and at Newsaskew. : : One final note: in the thread below, some folks gave me props for being good to the fans by putting out 'net trailers. Trust me - it's my pleasure. They're really fun to cut, and gratifying to share with you. : : Not to mention that it helps sell tickets down the road, hopefully... : : You folks give me a lot of credit for doing stuff like that, but honestly, I wouldn't do it if it wasn't fun for me too. When you make a movie, you want to show it to people as soon as possible. Being that we've got to wait until August 24th to do that, this is the next best thing. : : So thanks for the kudos... : : But thank YOU - for giving a shit in the first place. : How could We not give a Sh*t, you put your soul into what you do and it shows ! I never seen a site or a film/flick maker who gives back as much as you do to your fans ! It is a rare and beautiful thing and it ROCKS !I wish I had the capabilities to be able to download the trailers,but I will wait patiently until such time as the gods of finance bless me.... or I go to the theatre to see a flick ! : Love to ya !!
