It’s been a long and hard road, but director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma) will show his latest film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, at the Fantastic Fest next month.
The film, a comedy about friends (Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks) who make a porn film for some fast cash but quickly discover they harbor feelings for each other, got slapped with the kiss-of-death NC-17 rating back in July. Since then, Smith cut two of the most questionable sex scenes down a bit and got the rating toned down to R. To put things in perspective, no film rated NC-17 has ever grossed more than $21 million (the infamous Showgirls topped out at $20.4 million).
Zack and Miri will be the first of over 100 films to play at the Austin-based Fantastic Fest, and Smith will be present for a Q&A following its Sept. 18 U.S. premiere. Rogen can currently be seen doing what he does best (which is to say, playing a stoner) in Pineapple Express. Hilariously, the 34-year-old Banks will next portray Laura Bush in the Oliver Stone film W. just two weeks before Zack and Miri Make a Porno hits theaters on Halloween. Seeing Laura Bush and "porno" in the same sentence? Now that’s scary.

hahahaha. Good point. I do have to say that Seth Rogen in a porno may be equally as disturbing. Remember some of those scenes from knocked up?? Either way, I think this movie is going to be hilarious.
Anyone seen the movie yet? It looks hilarious. Why isn't Elizabeth Banks in more movies? She's beautiful. Anyone have other links of her? Here's one of her making out with another beautiful woman:
