Stars line up for Kevin Smith's 'Porno'

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Craig Robinson, Traci Lords, Katie Morgan, Ricky Mabe and Jason Mewes have signed on for Kevin Smith's new Hollywood outing "Zack & Miri Make a Porno."

The Weinstein Co. and Dimension Films Wednesday announced the additional cast members will join Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks in the latest endeavor from writer/director Kevin Smith and producer Scott Mosier.

Rogen and Banks, who both previously appeared in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," will play the title characters in a comedy about lifelong friends who decide to make a porn movie for some quick cash.

"Zak & Miri," which marks the seventh collaboration between Smith and studio bosses Harvey and Bob Weinstein, began shooting Wednesday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Smith, Mosier and the Weinsteins previously collaborated on "Clerks," "Clerks II," "Chasing Amy," "Dogma" and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back."
