When I first learned that Kevin Smith was going to bring Zack and Miri Make a Porno to the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, I knew I had to get an interview. Out of everyone coming to this year’s TIFF, Smith was at the top of my list. Not just because he made Clerks, but also because he’s a genuine, talented guy with a knack for realistic dialogue, and uncommon, original characters.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Fan favorite writer and director Kevin Smith was at Ryerson Theatre during the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival for the debut of his latest film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
Joining him on the red carpet were stars Elizabeth Banks, Jason Mewes, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, and not least of all, real life porn star Katie Morgan.
Call the press a bit pampered at TIFF, but I’m feeling severely deprived of my daily chocolate fix since the bowl full of Lindt truffles emptied today and hasn’t been refilled. It’s a terrible discovery as I sit down to work, but I suppose into every life a little rain must fall.
Today has been pretty quiet, compared to the last few days of the festival. I got up early and caught the screening of Zack and Miri Make a Porno (hilarious, for the record) before catching Fifty Dead Men Walking (not bad, but not as good as it should have been).
