View Askew fans rejoice as Kevin Smith has announced that a new film in the View Askewniverse is forthcoming, with Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Kevin Smith took to Twitter on the anniversary of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back to announce that the follow-up will shoot this Fall. Sequel plans for his other View Askew films fell apart for various reasons, which led to the Jay and Silent Bob film. He previously spoke about the sequel, saying:
"So I don't own Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy or Dogma... But I DO own Jay and Silent Bob. So while I love playing with someone else's new toys on The Flash and Supergirl, I'm getting eager to play with my old toys again in the inter-connected View Askewniverse I spent the first half of my career creating. And so all last month, I had the time of my life laughing while writing Jay and Silent Bob Reboot - a fun flick in which the Jersey boys have to go back to Hollywood to stop a brand new reboot of the old Bluntman & Chronic Movie they hated so much. It's a tongue-in-cheek, silly-ass satire that pokes fun at the movie business's recent re-do obsession, featuring an all-star cast of cameos and familiar faces! And I already met with the good folks at Miramax and they're into it, so I'm hoping we'll be shooting in the summer! Never give up, kids. You CAN do anything you want in life, so long as you're patient and malleable."
