Jingus Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 It was his wife's decision to name their daughter Harley. And the mom's not even a comics fan, she just really loves that one character. Of course Kevin would go along with the idea. And since when is Johnny Depp supposed to be a guarantee of a bad movie? Y'all need to forget about whatever his latest mediocre hundred-million-dollar tentpole flick was and see him in some other, more obscure stuff. Depp was easily the best part of Tusk (which is saying something, in a film where MICHAEL F'N PARKS gets like 70% of all the dialogue), his bumbling-but-brilliant Quebecois detective Guy LaPointe was hilarious and fascinating in all the ways that his thematically-similar role in Mortdecai wasn't.

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Smith has announced Mallrats 2 will begin filming in January in Exton, PA. It will be called MallBrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Kind of an odd title, considering all the characters are at least middle-aged now. Ah well, I'm curious to see what he does with it. It's been almost a decade since his last Askewniverse project; as fun as I still find his podcast empire and weird little horror movies, I still occasionally wanna see what Jay & Silent Bob are up to. And his bluntly stated Mallrats 2 story premise of "Die Hard in a mall" sounds like it's easily within his wheelhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 It's called Mallbrats because they're with their kids, and yes, one of the kids is Harley Quinn Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Mallrats: The Next Generation will be a 10 episode TV show. Smith confirmed on twitter. No word on distribution yet, but I'm guessing... Vimeo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Seems like an odd choice to turn into a show. Mallrats had probably the least-interesting protagonists of anything Smith has ever made; Quint, Brandi, and Rene were all damn'd boring people and Brodie was basically just a beta test run for Jason Lee's later, better work in the same vein. I'm not entirely sure if I'd want to spend ten episodes' worth of time with these guys. Maybe Kev has some ideas on how to make this work, I certainly hope so, but it still feels like one of those "...why the hell couldn't they have done this with Clerks instead?" missed opportunities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Universal owns the property rights, and they wouldn't let him make the movie independently like the Weinsteins have agreed to for Clerks 3. For some reason they countered with an idea for a television show (maybe because of Wet Hot American Summer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 *Bump* Jay and Silent Bob Reboot will begin shooting next month. The titular characters are trying to stop a Bluntman vs Chronic movie from happening. Clerks 3, and the Mallrats TV show-sequel are both dead.

Kevin Wilson Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I assume, knowing nothing else about it, that that is the joke and there will be references throughout about it being a shitty reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Clerks 3 being dead makes me sad, it was pretty much the only thing Smith could do that would get me really interested anymore. I'll probably check out the Reboot unless reviews really steer me away since J&SB Strike Back always gets a laugh out of me but much less enthused about this than Clerks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Clerks 3 died because Jeff Anderson didn't want to do it. Another Jay and Bob movie felt inevitable after that because they're the only characters Smith owns and he knows Mewes is game. I'm under the impression that it'll be a ton of references to the other movies and cameos that'll distract from how weak the screenplay is. I enjoyed his recent horror movies a lot, but Yoga Hosers was largely a comedy and it seemed like he took one pass at writing it and just shot what he had. Incidentally since the thread is bumped, here's a Vulture write-up from this week about him that's really good. http://www.vulture.com/2017/09/kevin-smith-red-state.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
