San Diego Comic Con 2019 (SDCC) is about to open its doors and kicking things off we have Kevin Smith releasing the very first NSFW Red Band trailer for ‘Jay and Silent Bob: Reboot’.
The stoner icons who first hit the screen 25 years ago in CLERKS are back! When Jay and Silent Bob discover that Hollywood is rebooting an old movie based on them, the clueless duo embark on another cross-country mission to stop it all over again!
In Theaters: October 15, 2019.
My thoughts:
Just looking at this trailer as a fan of Kevin Smith’s films, I instantly get the sense that this is really a big old reunion and celebration of everyone who has ever been in a Kevin Smith production, even Ben Affleck has tweeted Kevin recently after many years of them not communicating at all so my guess would be that we could see him in this film with Kevin.
Now I can also see where the negativity will come in with this potentially in that this is a remake almost of ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back’ by reusing the same plot almost and the humour is very….intriguing to see how this film will play in 2019 with humour still very much of a decade ago. But with Kevin’s recent heart attack, I do feel that this is a celebration of his life’s work and this film will no doubt be a hit with his fans but I hope it will be seen like that and not a lazy recycling effort.
