Kevin Smith hopes that shooting for Jay and Silent Bob Reboot will begin this summer.
[dropcap size=small]I[/dropcap]n a Facebook post from yesterday, Kevin Smith has sadly revealed that Clerks 3 is no longer happening due to one of the film’s four leads leaving the project. Not only that but Smith claims that the Mallrats tv series likely won’t be happening either since six different networks have denied the idea. Luckily, Smith has turned his attention to a sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
“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. 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!”
Kevin Smith claims to have already started working on the script for Jay and Silent Bob Reboot beginning last month and since he owns the rights to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back the project could likely begin production this summer or at least in the film if everything runs smoothly.
