Key Takeaways:
– Kevin Smith reveals a new prop from his upcoming film, Jay and Silent Bob 3.
– The prop is a tongue in cheek “NecroBobicon”, a play on the Evil Dead movie's “Necromonicon”.
– The film may revolve around a weed war in Central Jersey.
Kevin Smith, known for his creative and quirky take on the world of cinema, revs us up as he gears for the production of the third movie featuring the beloved slacker duo, Jay and Silent Bob. While his current project, “The 4:30 Movie” is on hold until its release in fall, Smith is already preparing to blow movie fans away with what he has cookin' in the new Jay and Silent Bob installment.
Jay and Silent Bob's Hilarious Comeback
The iconic characters Jay and Silent Bob are back into action in the sequel to “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” and “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot”. Unlike the latter, which was quite similar to “Strike Back”, Smith has promised his fans a surprise-filled sequel that will leave everyone guessing. Judging by a prop he recently unveiled, we are leaning towards agreeing with him.
Unpredictable, right? Who would have guessed that the new film, tentatively titled “Jay and Silent Bob 3”, would feature a Silent-Bob inspired version of the infamous Book of the Dead from Sam Raimi's Evil Dead franchise? It definitely wasn't on my radar.
Behold: The NecroBobicon
Kevin Smith shared a look of this unusual prop on his social media accounts, dubbing it the “NecroBobicon”. As funny and quirky as it sounds, Smith had a professional prop maker, Nick Brown, from the Tom Savini School to craft this creative masterpiece.
The NecroBobicon, in Smith's playful words, will not swallow your soul like the Necronomicon. But misuse could leave you forever silent. Uh-oh, Silent Bob, you better be careful!
A Little Glimpse into the Movie Themes
While we enjoy the humor around the NecroBobicon, Smith also dropped a hint about the film's theme. He previously revealed that the storyline might deal with an escalating war within the Central Jersey weed business. So, we can't help but wonder how this devilish book plays a part in this weed war.
Will Bruce Campbell Join the Party?
While we are excited about the new Jay and Silent Bob sequel, the hopes of seeing Bruce Campbell in the movie are up in the air. Smith probably knows how much we'd love to see him on screen again. Perhaps the “NecroBobicon” is an indication?
Jay and Silent Bob's Incredible Journey
We have seen our favorite slackers in “Clerks”, “Mallrats”, “Chasing Amy”, “Dogma”, “Clerks II”, and “Clerks III”. We've also run into animated versions of them in “Clerks: The Animated Series” and “Jay & Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie”. Even cameos in “Scream 3” and one-off adventures in “Degrassi”.
