There’s A Script For This Movie?

Director Kevin Smith, who represents the Silent Bob half of the iconic duo, initially announced the project well over a year ago after Clerks 3 and a Mallrats sequel both fell apart.

The project has hit a few delays in the time since, but it looks like things are looking up, according to Jason Mewes (Jay), who says they are slated to begin shooting in New Orleans in February.

Mewes said:

“Hopefully, all is going as planned. We have the money. We have a location. We have the offers out to people. Kevin and I went to the doctor cuz, you know, you have to get insured and bonded and stuff. We’re in motion to start pre-production January. February we start shooting.”

“So as long as everything stays on track, yes, Jay & Silent Bob reboot will be made and I’m very excited because I definitely would love to do one more Jay and Bob movie before, you know, we get super old and too old to hang out with apes and swing from grappling hooks and all that good stuff.”

“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. The script’s super funny and it’ll be a lot of fun. And Kevin throws out all new humor with what’s going on today like with social media and this and that. I’m excited.”

The Jay & Silent Bob reboot doesn’t yet have a date or studio confirmed for distribution.
