# Well, here's one that came in out of nowhere today -- You may recall that CTV ran a story in Canada a few weeks back, stating that Kevin was lined up to direct a feature film based on the Degrassi series. After we ran the piece, Kevin was strangely silent on the topic, which led us to believe there might very well be some truth to the left-field rumor after all.
Today, CTV has that confirmation. In a piece Kevin taped for their entertainment program, in which you get a look inside his plush trailer where he's residing between "Catch And Release" takes, Kevin very nonchalantly REVEALS that he indeed WILL direct a Degrassi feature, at least, that's the plan -- Originally scheduled for the end of the summer, the project's been bumped back a few months to get the script in order. So, we're EXPECTING that Clerks 2 will come up on schedule, followed by the Degrassi gig, then into "Ranger Danger". Don't quote us on that. Just our guess.
Don't believe us? Watch for yourself! We've got the clip for ya. More clips to come as well, we hear.
Catch Kevin on a Degrassi special on "The N" this Thursday evening. Check your local listings for the time.

Interested? Yes. But only if the story and characters are right. Will this follow the current "TNG" characters or returning old one from the 80s...one thing I know is that kevin does love Degrassi a whole lot, and Caitlen is a given to have a role in the film.

Needs to contact an admin about multiple accounts
i'm a 30 year old heterosexual white male and i'm admittedly hooked on Degrassi: TNG. its appeal is that despite amateurish acting, dialogue, directing, and production values, the show plows through a cascade of very real issues every season -- abortion, school shootings, rape, cancer, thongs, blow jobs, STDs, and yes, even penis envy (JT's dick apparently looks like a stack of dimes) -- without dumbing it down or softening the reality to pander to the audience. in three words: "it goes there".

So, we're EXPECTING that Clerks 2 will come up on schedule
followed by the Degrassi gig
then into "Ranger Danger"

Doesn't Smith OWN the rights to the original series (I think I read somewhere he bought them up a few years back)? This would be a good reason why he's been targeted as the director for the movie.
