Had no idea Smith had sold off so much of his properties.. Truly disappointing.
Such a giant mistake.

I don't care about a new Jay and Silent Bob at all
Never actually thought Clerks would happen though. Jeff Has never really wanted to do it

Not entirely sad about Clerks 3 even though I enjoyed 2 but him not finding a home for Mallrats is horrible, especially after he got everyone back onboard.
I'm meh on another J&SB film. I'll watch it, for sure, but it's definitely not as exciting to me as the other two properties.
I can't help but think that his recent string of "pot era" Kevin Smith films have put us in this position. It's all been received horribly and so there is probably just not studio faith in anything he's attached to right now.

I just need to see a movie with Brodie and Randall interacting. The rifting they'd give each other would be amazing.

I wonder if Smith will recast Jay with his daughter?

I much would of rather had Clerks 3 than another J&SB.

It pretty much has to be Anderson. You can do Clerks 3 without Rosario Dawson, but you can't do it without Randal.

I thought Jeff had a big hand in getting Clerks 3 started? I remember the rift they had before C2, but I thought they squashed that.
As for Mallrats, it is sad to see no one want to put it on, but it being a series really restricted it and gave way for much more apprehension due to time, story, and censorship.
A new J&SB is glorious news, but would have liked to see it after the other two are made. The Viewaskewniverse will be in full effect on this one. Maybe we can get shades of the other two flicks in here as cameos/side plots that could spur them to be made fully.

He gave a quick run through of the film summary in his Hollywood Babbleon podcast. Its a pretty intetesting plot. Hope Mark Hamil shows up to play Cockknocker again.

Times have changed but Kevin Smith hasn't. And that's a very bad thing. The only way this has a chance of being anything other than a minor success, is to reboot/recast Jay and Bob. But I don't see how today's kids are supposed to relate to these two 90's rejects. I was a big Smith fan, but I don't know how anyone could feel excited about a Smith project now.

I really hope one day Mallrats finds a home.. A Netflix mini-series or feature..
I can't believe that Hulu or Crackle or Netflix or Amazon would all pass on Mallrats.. Doesn't make any sense considering Zoolander 2 and Joe Dirt 2 both got funding and distribution.
Someone is holding out on Kevin Smith.. A Mallrats in 2017 with all the mainstream Superhero sh*t would have been super interesting and actually super awesome.

In 6 months he will announce that J&SB has been put on hiatus but Chasing Amy 2 is now in development. 3 months later Dogma 2 is now his next project. 3 months after that there will be an announcement that J&SB Reboot has now became J&SB vs Jersey Girl. None of these movies will ever get made but instead we will get some weed inspired movies no one has any desire to see but him and Mewes.

Tusk had redeeming qualities.. But God, Yoga Hosers was downright terrible.

I don't trust Stoner Kev. Not one bit. He desperately needs to lay off the weed when he's writing.

I have to admit, it seems like Smith doesn't know how to make a movie that's not set in the Askewniverse.
Jersey Girl, Zack and Miri, Cop Out, Red State, Tusk, Yoga Hosers...none of them were really all that good.

An FYI, Kev goes more in-depth about why Clerks 3 and Mallrats aren't happening on the latest SModcast (with Jay sitting in for Mosier).
Basic rundown for Clerks: he secured $8M in funding for it, was scouting locations for it, but one of the four leads simply couldn't be swayed. He even offered them more money from his own cut.
Obviously, it pretty much makes it clear that it was Jeff Anderson.

It is where he started, and where his best material comes from, which is all a series of exaggerated life experiences of his, or those close to him. And to be honest, it is what we all love and relate to with him. Long live the Askewniverse....I mean who wasn't saddened to see the book literally close on it in Dogma?
