When I was filmed by Errol Morris for the Apple Switch TV commercial, cartoonist Dan Clowes (of Eightball) was there, too. It was the second time I'd met him. He's really funny. I like his commercial, which never ran on TV. Link
Also, this from the Fantagraphics newsletter:
Clowes will write the film Backyard Resistance for producer Scott Rudin and Paramount Pictures. The film will center on a trio of youngsters who made a shot-by-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark called Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation. Earlier this year, Rudin secured the life rights to the Mississippi trio behind the film — Chris Strompolos, Eric Zala and Jayson Lamb — after Vanity Fair published an article about them.
The three began the project while on summer vacation in 1982, finishing it seven years later, shooting on a VHS camcorder and using backwoods Mississippi locales.
