Kevin Smith fans have waited a long time to catch up with Jay and Silent Bob and you'll be pleased to know the wait for the reboot is almost over as the director has confirmed that the reboot is now in 'pre-pre-production'.

Exciting.

Taking to Twitter, Smith (better known to some as Silent Bob) shared the news - writing that he, Jason Mewes (Jay) and producer Jordan Monsanto were the 'only dopes in Hollywood' working over the festive period.

Monsanto, who is married to Mewes, has worked on a number of Smith's previous movies including Tusk and Yoga Hosers.

The last time Smith and Mewes appeared on the big screen together was all the way back in 2006 in Clerks II.

Few details about the plot have been revealed yet but, according to a plot description on IMDB, the movie will centre on 'Jay and Silent Bob return to Hollywood to stop a reboot of 'Bluntman and Chronic' movie from getting made'. Sounds good to me.

Mewes has previously said that the script is 'amazing'.


Speaking to comicbook.com in 2017, he said: "I've read the script, and it's amazing and it's super clever.

"It's called Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, and it's Jay and Bob making fun of reboots. It's funny - a couple of people have asked me, 'are you guys even playing the characters if it's a reboot?' It's not really a reboot, Kevin called it Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, and it's us making fun of reboots, but the script's awesome. It's very funny."

According to the movie's IMDB page, Brian O'Halloran, better known as Dante Hicks, will also star, and in the same interview Mewes also hinted that there could be a host of re-appearances from the View Askewniverse.

"I don't know what I can talk about, what Kevin would get upset about or not get upset about," he told the media outlet.


"There's definitely some fun things: a lot of the people who were in the other movies, Kevin has spoken with a bunch of people from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and people are going to come back in. There's some more 'Bluntman and Chronic' stuff going down.

"There's a lot of fun stuff and a few new, really interesting things that I shouldn't mention."

Can't wait.

There's no date for the movie yet, but it's been reported that filming will start early this year.
