New Jay and Silent Bob Movie Gets an Update From Kevin Smith, Reveals Evil Dead-Inspired Prop
The next film in the Jay and Silent Bob franchise will begin filming this year.
In December 2023, Kevin Smith confirmed that he was working on another Jay and Silent Bob movie for him and Jason Mewes to star in.
“Right now, as we speak, I’m writing another Jay and Silent Bob movie,” Smith said at the time, via PopCulture.com. “For me and Jay, we always kind of have fun doing those and stuff, so I lost a bet with him. And so I’m writing another Jay and Bob movie.”
Smith has now given an update on the film on Instagram. In addition to mentioning that the film will start production later this year, he showed off an Evil Dead-inspired prop called “The NecroBobicon.”
“Behold the NecronomiKev – The Book of the Dead Film Careers! Kidding (kinda),” Smith’s caption reads. “It’s actually called The NecroBobicon! I commissioned @nightofthelivingnick (graduate of the @thetomsavini School) to unearth this ancient, evil tome that features in the new @jayandsilentbob flick @jaymewes and I start shooting later this year. The NecroBobicon doesn’t swallow your soul – but legend has it that misuse of the book will leave the reader forever silent…”
