Scoop Feedback:

March 20, 1996... What's it about? A guy who falls in love with a lesbian. [Scoop feedback comes from 'tekay421'.]

May 22, 1996... The film has just wrapped filming in Red Bank, New Jersey. Look for a more sophisticated plot than Mallrats. Of course, Jay and Silent Bob return. [Scoop mailed in anonymously.]

July 10, 1996... Kevin Smith and producer/partner Scott Mosier appeared at the 1996 San Diego Comic Con to promote Chasing Amy. They showed a 15 minute clip of the film and answered questions. The show is being set for an early '97 release, possibly in time for Sundance. Jay and Silent Bob aren't the main characters, but appear throughout the film as comic book characters, Bluntman & Chronic (a take-off of Batman and Robin). The main characters of the film are comic book artists. The show was made for the astonishingly small-scale budget of $250,000, which is almost unheard of. As well, Smith mentioned that his next project, Dogma, has Jay and Silent Bob in much larger roles. [A fantastic scoop job done by 'eson'.]

November 30, 1996... Kevin Smith reports on his webpage that Chasing Amy will be released on March 28, 1997. [Scoop info supplied by 'Bryn'.]
