Jason likes “the V?” Here’s a V for you - Jay & Silent Bob v. Bill & Ted. Now THAT'S a movie!!!

[@DrDespicable]

That's the four of them traveling in time, getting high, and talking esoteric shit for 2+ hours.

Get this man a script!

Your gold my friend lol

[@Infernoblade1010]

Kevin: I dont think world needed another Jay and Silent Bob. Me: LIKE HELL WE DONT

[@ellenmarch3095]

Lmao. "*I'm* part of the world... 🥺 I disagree."

[@brittneyherrly281]

It’s always so crazy going from the movies, to watching them in interviews and q&a’s. One minute it’s jay and silent bob, next it’s chatty Kevin and silent jay. Lol.

[@DukeOSmiley]

I'd love to hear what Jay has to say.

[@thevlaka]

LOL

[@DukeOSmiley]

@Cruzinthruspace haha

[@mfbias4048]

Kevin Smith is quite annoying

[@1dollardrew]

This is the definition of real friendship

[@TooMuchFknPain]

I'm pretty sure Mewes was thinking "Show me the money" when he was thinking Tom Cruise's catchphrase. Really surprised Smith didn't think of that.

[@justynmychael8716]

Copyright issues.

[@GrandTourHTX]

And that wasn't Tom Cruise's catchphrase. Cuba Gooding Jrs character in Jerry Maguire made him say it.

[@mfbias4048]

The scene is the one people remember the line from though, where he builds up to screaming that line. Although the line is originated with Cuba Gooding Jr character, it is Associated with Tom Cruise’s.

[@TubbyJ420]

'We tried to do clerks 3 but one of the cast didnt want to do it'. Im guessing that's randall, he didnt want to do clerks 2 but in an interview afterwards said something to the effect of 'i cant believe i was the only hold out for 2, i loved it. I wont hold up 3 if that ever happens'

[@joejoerobinson8724]

Tubby J Yeah I’m pretty sure it was him I’ll have to ask Kevin one day in person because I’m pretty curious. I can’t blame Randall in away because they got really lucky clerks 2 was good. I just can’t see clerks three being good at all

[@chrisjames6327]

You have to remember that Jeff Anderson isnt really an actor. He's just one of Kevin Smith's friends who appears in his movies. He's appeared in 10 movies 26 years.......lol.......he obviously doesn't like doing it. The finished product is a lot different than the filming. It might take him 15-20 takes to get his lines correct

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

I’m proud of Jason for being a great dad, and organizing his life to allow that to happen. I’m proud that he’s getting into producing and directing. You can tell it’s seeping in with his editing suggestion. Congratulations, Mr. Mewes.

[@RaxonXVI]

I’m so glad this jay and silent bob movie is being made the jay and silent bob strike back is my favorite comedy it’s just so over the top we’ll casted and just hilarious

[@Diesel257]

How'd you like it?

[@RaxonXVI]

@@Diesel257 it was alright no where as good as the first but I had some good laughs and enjoyed it tho

Harley Quinn Rebooting Clerks is a great idea!!!!

[@JCWLA86]

she can play a female jay

[@charleebrown7188]

Already done. It was called Yoga Hosers.

[@HeatherRenee2017]

When they said the mummy I don’t know why I thought of the scene with Jay and Silent Bob in the van with Scooby doo.

[@gregoriobell2736]

We need Jay and silent Bob the reboot and Mallrats two and Clerks three so yes please.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

I love Kevin Smith playfully out thinking the boy (as he calls him) to every conclusion. I say you can redo anything, never say never. For better or worse, do it all… have fun, play with all the toys… make new ones. No is the death of art, I’m a yes man.

[@howlermonkey4674]

How about Mark Hammill with giant fingers on one hand and call him "the diddler"?

[@Silveryback]

Lmao

[@shect1]

My reboot test is simple, let my 10 yo nephew and 12 yo niece watch the old movie, if they can't get through it maybe a reboot is ok, if they love it and want to watch it again and again that's not necessary. Back to the Future and Princess Bride both belong to the never reboot category based on that test. They didn't last long with the original Star Wars

[@anirudhmenon4234]

Completely agree.

[@Silveryback]

Agreed on Back to the Future. Too classically set.

[@brolyslibraryandgaming1156]

Ran Shechter no to a reboot but yes to a sequel where they travel back to the 80’s from the 2020’s

If you want that pop pop you have to hop hop fam

[@thevlaka]

Lol exactly

[@EntertainedOrNot]

The movie I don't think is censored

[@Jforrester90]

They should reboot James Bond. Do a teenage Bond before he's in MI6. Like have him from college onto MI6. Let's see how he was back when he went to Oxford before he was a 00 agent and no one knew he was. They have books about it so we need a movie.

[@zakari7-one-1]

If they never get around to it you could just watch Kingsman 1 and 2 and make pretend its canon

[@Deathlygunn]

I remember you had the Young Bond novels, I'd love to see them adapted into films.

[@a7even08]

They did Animated series in early 90s James bond jr

[@MatticusFinch1820]

Id honestly rather see a movie with these two as themselves on some crazy adventure than another Jay and Silent Bob movie. I hope its good, cuz man....everyone looks so OLD!

Please join me Kevin. I really liked Batman v. Superman. I kept hearing it was a dumb action movie, and then I saw a smart film with some kick-ass action.

Why not make a jay and silent bob netflix original show

[@marklemaster4707]

Yo, first..I love Jay and Slient Bob,characters, I grew up watching alot of their films, and I even watched comic book men!! I also the like the guys behind the characters they play!! Clerks is on of my favorites by Kevin Smith!! Randall Graves is my favorite character in the clerks franchise!! Why not do a clerks movie but gives us more of a back story about Randall Graves!!

[@DCGMatthew1]

Isn't there a new Indiana Jones coming out in two years?

[@bmarzdungeon7736]

Damnit Jeff I want clerks 3!!!

[@Belnick6666]

did they say why it is called "reboot" ? is it about a new jay and silent bob? like his daughter gonna be the new jay etc?

[@JacobSantosDev]

They are trying to stop the meta reboot movie. This movie is not a reboot.

[@scorpiusjones5436]

Also don't forget to check out Jay Mewes streaming on Twitch! He does IRL backpacking, builds Legos, plays Fortnite, Apex Legends and more. Check him out, and snooch to tha nooch 🤘

[@SLiMmcl]

Should make a Clerks Videogame. Dante and Randall are teaching a new Guy/Girl to be a Clerk and its the new Guy/Girl's first day. With plenty of Cameo's from Jay and Silent Bob, Holden, EVERYBODY! (Hell you could be a really outlandish and have God show up lol)

Abbott and costello meet the mummy and Frankenstein.

Kevin Smith could be a comic book villain called Zeitgeist.... The living pop culture 🦀

[@ScratJitZu]

If a clerks remake happens, they should return as Jay And Slient Bob, they ARE Jay And Slient Bob

[@dustinadamson7293]

haha Clerks 3 begins with Randal's funeral and they knock over the casket

[@kevinnelson66]

Harley and Johnny Depp's daughter reprise their roles from Yoga Hosiers. They relocate from Canada to Jersey and are hired to work at the Quick Stop. The video store has since closed following Randall's heart attack. Dante is filming a documentary about the day in the life of a convenience store clerk. Turn it into a spin on This Is Spinal Tap.

Will obviously Pattinson will be shredded by the time filming starts on The Batman. Studios always get actors playing superheroes the best person trainers, dieticians, and personal chefs so they can start get in jacked months before filming begins.

Jacqueline Milom rebooted both series

[@jacquelinemilom4164]

@@etangbose4755 um...as far as I know Ben Affleck's batman vs. Superman was the first batman vs. Supernan on screen. So if they were referring to that being rebooted instead of it being the reboot when they asked did it need a reboot then that makes much more sense to me.
