Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
Kevin Smith is " rebooting"Jay and Silent Bob- and the filmmaker has chosenThe Flashheadliners Grant Gustin , Tom Cavanagh , and Carlos Valdes to join the casting . The movie , a sequel to 2001’sJay and Silent Bob Strike Back , isn’tactuallya reboot ; instead , it ’s set to burlesque Hollywood ’s use of rebooting popular movie properties - with a story that sees Jay and Silent Bob head to Tinsel Town to stop a reboot ofBluntman and Chronic . Longtime fans will see the body fluid in that premiss - as the first photographic film in the serial publication saw Jay and Silent Bob travel to Hollywood to stopBluntman and Chronicfrom being adapted into a picture show .
Previously , Smith had suggested that theJay and Silent Bob Rebootwouldbegin filming this fall- with ascript that star Jason Mewesdescribed as " awe-inspiring . " Now , thanks to theComic - Con 2018 , we know one reason the film is targeting a gloam start date : The Flash .
Speaking at the annual eventide with Kevin Smith panel that , traditionally , close down Saturday programming in Hall H , the lover - favorite film director confirmed he ’ll start up filmingJay and Silent Bob Rebootin November - and thatFlashcollaborators Grant Gustin , Tom Cavanagh , and Carlos Valdes would be joining the output .

surmise like a shot moved to fan - casting Grant as the rebooted Chronic and Valdes as the rebooted Bluntman with Cavanagh portray the reboot ’s director ; however , Smith did not specify which character the CW alumna would be portraying - much less whether they ’d be portray the eponymous heroes ( nor how big a role theFlashstars will actually make for ) .
An even more outrageous ( and as a result meet ) variation of this theory suggests Gusting and Valdes will impersonate themselves - as the actor cast in the motion-picture show . As a upshot , desire that Gustin and Valdes will be tramp as Jay and Silent Bob ’s cartoonish alter egos - as the actors ( much less the actors playing themselves ) set to star in theBluntman and Chronicreboot - is at this point premature .
That said , there ’s no doubt it would be fun to seeThe Flashactors get to riff on Smith and Mewes - especially after theJay and Silent Bob actor invitee - starred onFlash . While we ca n’t recognize for sure , the timing is sure enough encouraging , since a November 2018 shoot for the product would place take alongside work onThe Flashseason 5 - which carry on shooting in Vancouver this fall ( with Smith , potentially , at the helm of at least oneArrowverseepisode ) .
The Vancouver studio , November production , and impropriety between Smith and the CW actors , combine into an ideal filming opportunity , one that would allow Smith to fit his project into Gustin , Cavanagh , and Valdes ' busy schedules , on their home sod : a output studio ( which could make out in very handy for a film that is say to take place in Hollywood and , to that end , will admit scene on studio apartment backlots ) .
Still , Gustin , Cavanaugh , and Valdescouldonly have underage roles - rather than the high-minded approximation that the three will be co - asterisk opposite the titular stoners . We ’ll have to wait for more detail from Smith but , whether theFlashteam getssignificantscreentime or modest part , it ’s still fun to see the filmmaker chance newfangled ways to collaborate with actor as entertaining and well - liked as Gustin , Cavanaugh , and Valdes .
Jay and Silent Bob Rebootis work up to be a cagey , and presumably very meta , installment in a movie serial that ’s well - know for inside antic and ego - deprecating body fluid . We ’ll appear forward to further details when Smith is disposed to share - and hope that other fan - favoriteArrowverseactors might also make an appearance .
