About a month or so ago, Kevin Smith revealed that he and Jason Mewes would be playing Jay and Silent Bob again. Now, while he still has The 4:30 Movie coming, potentially this year, he’s also officially announced the next project that he has planned. One can only presume that our editor Joey Magidson is very excited.
According to Smith himself, there’s a new Jay and Silent Bob film coming this year, or at least going into production this year. Not only that, he’s apparently nearly finished a first draft, which will feature the characters in an escalating war in the New Jersey legal marijuana business. It certainly seems like a good fit for Smith.
Here is what he had to say in an email to fans, entitled “A message from Kevin Smith about Jay and Silent Bob turning 30 and what comes next…”
| “2024 marks the 30th anniversary of my first film CLERKS – which means that it’s also the 30th birthday of @jayandsilentbob! American original @jaymewes and I have been standing next to each other, both professionally and personally, for three decades! So we’ll be celebrating all year long with signings at @jayandsilentbobstash, Jay & Silent Bob’s Sexy Sleepover at @smodcastlecinemas in June, and useless plastic trinkets on the JayAndSilentBob dot com website! But the biggest way #jasonmewes and I will be observing our characters’ 30th anniversary is by making a NEW JAY AND SILENT BOB MOVIE! That’s right: 2024 will see us back in the costumes and fake-hair-hat for a funny fucking flick about an escalating war in the Central Jersey legal weed business! Get ready to giggle at an #askewniverse movie in which nobody dies this time! I’m virtually finished with the first draft so expect more news about the flick (including the title) by February! In the meantime, let me just thank you – with every fiber of my being – for supporting #Clerks and #jayandsilentbob across these many years! You’ve afforded us ample opportunities to play dress up and make-pretend for a living – even after over a quarter of a century! Snootch to the Nootch! (This awesome anniversary art is by the incomparable @captain_ribman!)” |

So happy to hear about another J & SB Movie. You guys rock.
You guys are are awesome and can’t wait for the next movie 💕
Silent bob looks like he’s been hitting the meth pipe a lil too hard
The last one was so depressing. It was a bummer. I don’t think I’d want to watch another one. I don’t wanna watch these movies and cry I want to laugh. The last movie ruined it for me really. They’ll never be one like the very first it was Is the best ever timeless classic! I feel like you ruined it with the last movie don’t do another one
After Clerks 3… I’ll pass. I’m not waisting money just watch Smith mess up more. The last movie was such a disappointment.
It was well worth the library card I got to watch it.. no seriously it didn’t disappoint… loved it. THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS it was needed and much appreciated. BONG!!!
