Kevin Smith Does Porn

Per the Los Angeles Times, the Weinstein Company has pulled the trigger on
Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno, a bawdy sex comedy budgeted at $15 million. Inspired/shamed by a 15-year high school reunion, two Minnesotan slacker friends dive into amateur porn, to characteristically comedic effect.
Granted, this sounds a little bit like
The Amateurs (now
The Moguls), but that movie should be rated PG-13, and we all know that's not going to happen with Smith's film, which he's said will feature nudity, but of the "funny, not gratuitous" variety.
Smith and filthy sex talk go together like fat kids and cake, so this pairing of filmmaker and material seems a natural, and a good financial bet as well. Too bad it's not
Zak and Sara Make a Porno, though, if only to include the Ben Folds song...
