Zack and Miri Make a Porno after-party finds us dancing near Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Smith, Adrien Brody and Edward Norton

Zack and Miri Make a Porno was up against a lot of roadblocks due to, ahem, stiff MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) rating regulations. Now that it’s done, the comedy isn’t having any difficulty getting roaring laughter from TIFF audiences who relish dirty humour. Awkward as it might sound to be filmed naked bending over a coffee shop counter getting pillaged from behind with dark roast beans dropping from the sky, director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma) put together a stellar cast. Naughty quotes and juicy tidbits after the jump.

“In terms of the actual sex part, you couldn’t ask for two better people to fake fuck on film than Jason Mewes and Katie Morgan,” says Smith. “Katie, in her day job, knows how to real fuck on film, and Mewes has been air humping since he got out of the womb.”

Inspired by The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Smith wrote the script with Seth Rogen in mind and was stoked when he agreed to play Zack, an over-educated, under-ambitious slacker who decides to pair up with roommate Miri (Elizabeth Banks) to make a porno in order to make a buck. You’ll have to wait until Halloween to see how the story unfolds, but we can tell you that everyone was cutting a rug at the Zack and Miri Make a Porno after-party last night at W Studio. Along with Smith and the cast were eye-candy wonders Adrien Brody (The Brothers Bloom) and Edward Norton (Pride and Glory). Harvey Weinstein barrelled through the crowd dozens of times and appeared to be enjoying the revelry. Where Kevin goes, Degrassi follows—but this time, it wasn’t the younger brood, but rather Degrassi lifer Stefan Brogren (a.k.a. Snake).

Perhaps the sauciest moment of the party took place outside. Having a smoke, Porn star Katie Morgan confessed how much she loves sex and dished her dos and don’ts of on- and off-camera diddling. Party-goers went nuts to Journey and contemplated whether to tap Mr. Weinstein on the shoulder to inquire about a script read. Good luck with that, guys. In the meantime, perhaps you should consider getting kinky in the bedroom with a camcorder. —Jen McNeely
