Forgive me if this is old news but....
I just read on imdb.com that Kevin is going to cowrite Scary Movie 3 (along with Lynch and the two other writers). At first I just thought they made a mistake and confused Lynch with Smith, but it doesnt seem that way.
Here's the story...
Smith to Write 'Scary Movie 3'
Cult filmmaker Kevin Smith has been enlisted to pen the next installment of the Scary Movie franchise - according to American entertainment bible Variety. Smith, who has just finished shooting Jersey Girl with Hollywood supercouple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, will be working with three other screenwriters including Brian Lynch, Pat Proft and Craig Mazin. Airplane! helmer David Zucker will direct the film, although the Wayans brothers who were involved with both other outings are not on board. Smith says, "It is an honor to be involved with David, one of the creators of Airplane!, which is arguably the funniest movie of all time. Our aim is to make this third in the franchise as funny as that other hysterical third-in-the-franchise flick, The Godfather Part III."
