Why Is Kevin Smith Speaking At Macworld?

So Macworld events and speakers have been announced… and I’m wondering why the heck is Kevin Smith presenting? Disney did retain control of the Miramax name and film library (including Smith’s Clerks & Chasing Amy) when they split with the Weinstein brothers last year, though his films have yet to show up on iTunes. Is this part of an Apple movie push in support of iTunes, iTV, and perhaps a larger movie-centric iPod? Or am I reading to much into this and event sponsor IDG is just looking for some entertaining speakers?

  1. It has the look of a fun film industry presentation for Mac users who make movies and videos.

    Maybe Apple can convince him to pull a Morgan Freeman too.
