Director Kevin Smith talks Porno with XCritic.com

Smith Discusses Porn and his new film Zack and Miri Make a Porno

For Immediate Release:   October 27, 2008

PORTLAND, OR. - XCritic.com, one of the top online adult review sites, has published its interview with Director Kevin Smith who talks about his upcoming film Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

From the very beginning of his career, Smith has made no attempt to hide his appreciation for the world of porno. In his critically acclaimed indie hit Clerks, porn was a central theme; Randal (Jeff Anderson) had a complete obsession with porn. Porn references have followed in many of the films that have followed. Now in Smith's new film--Zack and Miri Make a Porno, porn is center stage as Smith's focus.

“Part of the reason I took the job at RST Video back when I did in 1989, was because it was a mom and pop shop, and they actually had a porn room,” explains Smith when asked about the impact of porn on his career. But how will audiences react to a mainstream film with 'porno' in the name?

“Porno is just a cute word, it's like 'zamboni.' I could never understand why someone would object to the word. I can understand somebody objecting to the idea of porno, because maybe watching people fuck ain't your speed, but the word "porno" is just adorable, and yet it's gotten us into a little bit of trouble.”

Zack and Miri Make a Porno opens in theaters across the country on 10/31.
