Kevin Smith is a true influence for the new generation of film makers. After he made “Clerks,” he is now coming back with a new comedy named “Zack and Miri Make a Porno.” Smith chose Seth Rogen to play Zack, a slacker who makes a skin brush together with his best friend as to earn some cash.

When Smith started to make the movie, Rogen was just making himself comfortable in Hollywood, but by the time the shootings for “Zack and Miri” started, Rogen had already made himself a name through “Knocked Up.” It seems that Rogen’s big dream has now come true: to work with Kevin Smith.

The film maker said that "it really comes down to `Clerks' as the gift that just keeps on giving," while “Zack and Miri” was premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Smith added that thanks to “Clerks,” he began his career for real, he met his wife and gained success. He thanked Rogen for having chosen his movie, adding that "there's another reason to love `Clerks,' because Rogen loved it, and that's how he winds up in this movie, eventually.”

Smith believes that Rogen together with co-star Elizabeth Banks will win the hearts of all the watchers. Rogen played in "Knocked Up," "Superbad" and "Pineapple Express" and it was enough for the film makers to gain nearly $360 million from these. In comparison, this amount of money is valid for seven of Smith’s movies.

Despite the expectations of the movie that hit theatres on Friday, some TVs, newspapers and other outlets have rejected the movie because of the word “porno.”
