Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is, unquestionably, my favorite of the View Askew movies by Kevin Smith. At the time it served as the perfect culmination of that offbeat Jersey universe he had created with the breakout indie hit, Clerks. Now the duo of hetero lifemates are back and causing more Hollywood ruckus with Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which is perfect timing on this new trailer as I just had a strange random encounter with Jason Mewes here at Comic-Con.
The film, which Smith says is a sequel to all of the View Askew flicks, finds Jay and Silent Bob trying to stop a reboot of their Bluntman and Chronic characters, who have been modeled to look like Batman and a character that almost looks like a female Robin.
Expect appearances from many of the past View Askew stars and Kevin Smith’s pals, including Rosario Dawson, Shannon Elizabeth, Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, and even Chris Hemsworth.
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot opens this fall!
