Editing Kevin Smith (section)

===Writer===
In 1997, [[New Line Cinema]] hired Smith to rewrite ''[[Overnight Delivery]]'', which was expected to be a blockbuster teen film. Smith's then-girlfriend [[Joey Lauren Adams]] almost took the role of Ivy in the movie, instead of the female lead in ''[[Chasing Amy]]''. Eventually, she lost out to [[Reese Witherspoon]], and ''Overnight Delivery'' was quietly released directly to video in April 1998. Smith was not credited for his contributions. He has said that the only scene that really used his dialogue was the opening scene, which includes a reference to longtime Smith friend [[Bryan Johnson (filmmaker)|Bryan Johnson]].<ref name="greasy">{{cite web|url=http://www.viewaskew.com/press/psycomic/5.html|title=The Unholy Tale of Greasy Reese Witherspoon|work=Developing the Monkey|publisher=ViewAskew.com|date=December 1, 2000|access-date=June 13, 2008}}</ref>
