Kevin Smith Confirms New "Jay And Silent Bob" Movie

Kevin Smith is now confirming that the threequel, Jay and Silent Bob: Store Wars, is happening. Smith confirmed it while talking with Collider, saying, “Believe it or not, man, we still find financing for Jay and Silent Bob pictures, so we’re making a movie called Jay and Silent Bob: Store Wars.”

The title of the film already indicates a lot. Jay and Silent Bob have been dynamic characters with a big arc in Smith’s films. They’ve also often served as symbolic or metaphorical figures, reflecting changing times in the world, or phases in the director’s life, most often illustrated by “Silent” Bob’s standalone moments giving sage-like monologues. Clerks III (2022) was Smith’s unabashed rumination on his own near-death experience and new reality as a middle-aged man, but it also had a funny subplot joke about Jay and Silent Bob’s place in the changing world.

“For those who recall and still follow this closely, in Clerks III, they now run their own dispensary, since weed is legal in New Jersey,” Smith explains. “Store Wars is basically Spy vs. Spy. Another dispensary opens up across the street, and they spend the whole movie fighting and trying to destroy one another. So, it’s a stoner comedy, man, of the highest order, and I’m happy as hell.”
