Smith, who played Silent Bob, is reuniting with his original co-star Jay Mewes, who played Jay, on the project and is teaming up with producer Jordan Monsanto, who has worked with Smith on several of his films and is married to Mewes.
Kevin Smith has confirmed that his long-promised reboot of his Jay and Silent Bob characters is officially in the works.
The characters first appeared in Smith’s directorial debut Clerks, released in 1994, and continued to feature in many of his subsequent films, including Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Clerks 2.
“Spent the first day of 2019 having a #JayAndSilentBobReboot pre-pre-production meeting,” the director tweeted, having first announced the project back in August 2017.
