It's been 25 years since Jay and Silent Bob first headlined their own movie, but the beloved duo isn't slowing down. From surprise cameos to comic book crossovers, they've stayed busy. Now, Jason Mewes has dropped an exciting update about their next big-screen adventure, Jay and Silent Bob: Store Wars.
In a recent chat with Collider, Mewes revealed that filming is set to begin "in about two weeks" in Canada, specifically just outside Vancouver. While he couldn't recall the exact town, he promised it's a "beautiful" area with most locations conveniently close together—perfect for the movie's zany premise.
The plot picks up after Clerks III, with Jay and Silent Bob running their legal weed dispensary until a rival shop opens across the street, sparking an all-out turf war. Kevin Smith has described it as a stoner comedy take on Spy vs. Spy, with younger, hipper opponents challenging the veteran stoners.
Mewes is thrilled about the setting, recalling his first time filming in the region back in 1996 for Drawing Flies, which featured a memorable sequence on the Capilano Suspension Bridge. "It's very beautiful there," he said, excited to return.
Fans eager for behind-the-scenes peeks should keep an eye on Kevin Smith's social media. As Mewes noted, "Kevin posts constantly... He does like to say, 'Hey, guys, this week we're going to be here. We're going to need 100 extras if you want to come down and be part of the movie.'" So expect plenty of updates once production kicks off.
Before that, Mewes and Smith will team up in a family-friendly way on Big City Greens, voicing two coyotes named Ricky and Dave in the episode "Chicken Coup," airing November 14 on Disney Channel. Mewes was instantly on board because his kids love the show, and it's a rare project he can watch with them.
With Store Wars on the horizon and their animated antics hitting screens, Jay and Silent Bob prove they're still a force to be reckoned with—whether they're battling young upstarts or scheming farm animals.
