As an unapologetic fan of Kevin Smith and his films, I was wondering when the “View Askewniverse” would be tackled again. With news of was on Clerks 3 and Mallrats 2 being in the works, I was hoping that these two projects would be tackled sooner than later. However, on Thursday, Smith would go on social media to announce that the next installment in his View Askewniverse would be a Jay and Silent Bob reboot, which, at least for now, is titled, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.
Smith posted the cover of the movie’s script, a first draft dated Feb. 5, on Instagram and Facebook with a detailed explanation of where the project fits in the context of his other work. He said the film is the best bet to see his “View Asknewniverse” return to theaters. Production, he said, could begin as early as this summer. Check out the announcement below:
