feels like whenever I hear news about kevin smith, it's bad news.

Toronto's Epitome Pictures are developing a big screen feature based on CTV's high school teen series "Degrassi: The Next Generation" says the Hollywood North Report.

Kevin "Jersey Girl" Smith is tapped to direct for a late August shoot in Toronto. Smith recently appeared on the series alongside Jay And Silent Bob sidekick Jason Mewes.

The series was removed from the broadcast schedule of publicly-funded PBS network, following complaints from citizen's rights groups objecting to the series' realistic portrayals of teens involved with drugs, sex and rock 'n roll.

Two "Degrassi: TNG" books and a TV doc are currently in the works, with the fifth season now prepping for Toronto production. The show airs in the US, UK, Australia and France.

Ugh I hate Degrassi. It's a bunch of 8th graders getting having sex and getting STDs and doing lines of coke and abusing their girlfriends and all this stuff.

Two hours of Toby's thick ass eyebrows and Spinner's banana peel bangs? No thank you. 30 minutes is all I can take of them.
[info]flipyourlid 7th-Jun-2005 01:32 am (UTC)
AHAHAHHA.
[info]_pallid 7th-Jun-2005 02:34 am (UTC)
And yet you know the characters names and admit you have watched atleast one entire episode?
[info]funkybrewsta 7th-Jun-2005 02:42 am (UTC)
And your point being what, may I ask? Like I said, I can stand 30 minutes but 2 hours? Hell no. It'll make my toss my popcorn.
[info]subvoce 7th-Jun-2005 06:00 am (UTC)

[info]clayismine 6th-Jun-2005 11:42 pm (UTC)
Yes! I've been waiting for this, but I hope this doesn't officially end the series like "School's Out" did in the 80's.
[info]treehuggies 6th-Jun-2005 11:50 pm (UTC)
Aw. With Joey's bare ass? I hope he DOES end it like that. LOL

[info]sopardonme 7th-Jun-2005 12:40 am (UTC)
it probably will. season 5 is supposed to be the last one and the movie will end it.
[info]ghost_explosion 7th-Jun-2005 01:20 pm (UTC)
if only kevin would have directed "School's out"...lucy might still be with us, joey wouldn't have fucked tessa campinelli, and wheels wouldn't be in prison....oh the humanity!!!
[info]vanilla_blue 6th-Jun-2005 11:42 pm (UTC)
Yay!

I thought he was really good on Degrassi this season.
[info]7_silver_stars_ 6th-Jun-2005 11:45 pm (UTC)
i fuckin love this show and i cant wait for the movie
[info]treehuggies 6th-Jun-2005 11:49 pm (UTC)
Kevin Smith is already in the season finale (of the season just finished in Canada, not the US). I wonder if its going to have anything to do with that?
The "Jay and Silent Bob go to Canada, Eh" movie or something like that.
Either way, I love Degrassi. Because, IT GOES THERE. lol
[info]onefootinfront 7th-Jun-2005 01:01 am (UTC)
HOLY JESUS, 2GE+HER!!! best icon ever. EVER.
[info]theonlykow 7th-Jun-2005 03:04 am (UTC)
The season with Kevin Smith ended a few months back, I thought. Isn't it just starting to air on The N sometime in July?

I'm a bit off, I don't have cable and haven't watched Degrassi since I downloaded the entire fourth season about two months ago, haha.
