Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a 2008 romantic sex comedy film written and directed by Kevin Smith, distributed by The Weinstein Company, and starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks. It is Smith's second film (after Jersey Girl) not to be set within the View Askewniverse and his first film not set in New Jersey. It was released on October 31, 2008.
Zack Brown and Miri Linky are roommates in Monroeville, Pennsylvania (a Pittsburgh suburb). They have been friends since the first grade. Despite Miri working at the local shopping mall and Zack working at a coffee shop, they have not paid their utility bills in months, with Zack devoting much of his free time to a fanatic following of the Pittsburgh Penguins and his status in the community amateur hockey team, the Monroeville Zombies. After work, their water gets turned off before they go to their high school reunion.
At the reunion, Miri attempts to seduce her attractive former classmate Bobby Long, while Zack strikes up a conversation with Brandon St. Randy, who reveals that he is a gay porn star, and Bobby's boyfriend. After returning home from the reunion, the apartment's electricity is turned off. Inspired by a successful viral video that was filmed by a pair of teenage boys as Miri changed in Zack's place of work for the reunion (revealing that she wore unattractive "granny panties" underwear), and emboldened by the cultural mainstreaming of pornographic entertainment, Zack convinces a reluctant Miri that they should make a pornographic film to earn money.
The fire, it rises from the depths of hell
Fear is shown in all eyes
Our lives considered lost
Those who draw swords
Prepare to die
In darkness it awaits you
It won't die until you die
A bloodbath to remember
Come night you won't exist
Here comes the unwanted creature
This beast stands driven by fear
The taste of flesh satisfies its never ending want
The screams grow louder
I hear the children crying
What do I do
Do I sit and watch this well
I highly fucking doubt it
I feel the need to kill
And with these hands
Your days are numbered
And with these hands you'll be dismembered
I will not fall away
The moon lies darkend
No light for them to see
