#Behind the scenes jay and silent bob strike back movie#

It's a tongue-in-cheek, silly-ass satire that pokes fun at the movie business's recent re-do obsession, featuring an all-star cast of cameos and familiar faces! And I already met with the good folks at Miramax and they're into it, so I'm hoping we'll be shooting in the summer! Never give up, kids. And so all last month, I had the time of my life laughing while writing 'Jay and Silent Bob Reboot' - a fun flick in which the Jersey boys have to go back to Hollywood to stop a brand new reboot of the old 'Bluntman & Chronic Movie' they hated so much. So while I love playing with someone else's new toys on and I'm getting eager to play with my old toys again in the inter-connected View Askewniverse I spent the first half of my career creating. So I don't own Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy or #Dogma. I don't mind: back in the day, all I ever wanted to do was sell my stuff so I could be in the movie biz in the first place. Since I sold #Clerks and #Mallrats years ago, they're owned by others, which limits my moves with my own material. With all of that, how could I bitch about no Clerks III or Mallrats 2? Then when I started directing shows, it was such a slice of Heaven on Earth, I happily put my Askewniverse sequels to the side. And besides: I had #comicbookmen and then and (which all came together so crazy quickly), and the podcasts and #fatmanonbatman. And I've been lucky to make anything at all, there's so much competition out there, so many much cooler ideas from fresh folks.

Mind you, I'm not complaining: nobody gets to make EVERYTHING they wanna make in this business (do they?).

I've pitched said sequel series to 6 different networks only to find no takers thus far. which also didn't happen because it turned into a #Mallrats series. So I worked on a #Mallrats movie instead. Reboot will essentially be a do-over of 2001's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back-which only grossed $33 million worldwide but did introduce that '15 bucks, little man / Put that shit in my hand' song into the pop culture lexicon-while also mocking the idea of reboots and sequels.This is not a drill! This is an actual image from my laptop! Yes, Kids - are coming back! Here's the story: Sadly, Clerks III can't happen (one of our four leads opted out of the flick). The film will return Smith to his View Askewniverse for the first time since 2006's Clerks II to play around with characters he created all the way back in 1994 for his breakthrough Clerks. 'We picked 2/25 as the Reboot start date *intentionally*, to celebrate the fact that I did not become Silent Bob forever 365 days ago,' Smith wrote in a heartfelt message accompanying the photo. Silent Bob himself looks a bit different, of course, but for good reason Smith turned his health around after surviving a massive heart attack exactly one year before Reboot began filming. Production on Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Reboot has officially begun, and the filmmaker is celebrating the occasion with a behind-the-scenes pic alongside Jason Mewes and Jason Lee, both of which appear to have lived their lives completely untouched by the hands of time.
