The first official clip fromJay & Silent Bob Reboothas just been released. Jason Mewes surprised attendees and viewers of the 45th annual Saturn Awards with the footage, which features Val Kilmer and Melissa Benoist. Kevin Smith unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated movie back in July at San Diego Comic-Con and even jumped the gun by releasing it a few days early because he was so excited to finally share what he and Mewes had been working on.
TheJay & Silent Bob Rebootclip centers on an argument betweenVal Kilmer’s Bluntman and Melissa Benoist’s Chronic. The two characters are about to fight on the big screen as the real Jay and Silent Bob watch from the audience. Some references to marijuana show up and then the king of stoners, Tommy Chong, makes an appearance as Alfred, Bruce Wayne’s righthand man. It’s exactly would you would expect coming from Kevin Smith and that’s exactly why fans can’t wait to see the movie.
We can now see why theJay & Silent Bob Rebootrole was perfect forVal Kilmer, who has been rehabilitating his voice from a bout with throat cancer. The actor was hesitant to take on the role, but Kevin Smith was persistent since he knew taking on Bluntman would be a comfortable way for Kilmer to participate. Kilmer has been making more public appearances as of late and is getting comfortable with his voice. He’ll be back on the big screen next summer inTop Gun: Maverick, reprising his role as Iceman.
Kevin Smith was very happy to get Val Kilmer andSupergirlstarMelissa Benoiston board forJay & Silent Bob Reboot. To date, Smith has directed four episodes of Benoist’s show on the CW and will more than likely take on some more in the future. However, his directing work with the CW has been more traditional.Jay & Silent Bob Rebootis anything but traditional and is taking on today’s reboot and remake culture as Jay and Silent Bob take on Hollywood. Expect a lot of inside jokes and gags surrounding the constant crops of remakes and reboots currently flooding theaters.
