Kevin Smith Confirms Jay and Silent Bob Sequel Filming Start Window in Canada

A Canadian location identified

In an interview with Collider, Jason Mewes said the next Jay and Silent Bob film has found a place to shoot in Canada. He said it is not in Vancouver itself, but in an area about 30 or 40 minutes away.

Mewes could not remember the name of the city or surrounding area. He described it as a beautiful location and said the production was looking for housing near where filming would take place.

Rival shops drive the story

Mewes said much of Jay and Silent Bob 3 takes place on one street. The plot has their store competing with a shop opened across the road by two younger characters.

The rival owners tell Jay and Silent Bob they are old, while claiming the new shop belongs to the younger, smarter newcomers. Mewes described the dispute as a playful fight over whose turf it is.

Smith previously outlined Store Wars

Kevin Smith earlier said the project was called Jay and Silent Bob: Store Wars. He described it as a stoner comedy and compared its setup to Spy vs. Spy.

The story follows the pair after they start running a dispensary in Clerks III, then face competition from another dispensary. Smith said the characters would spend the film trying to undermine one another; casting had not yet taken place.

Release details remain unknown

Jay and Silent Bob first starred together in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back in 2001, followed by Jay and Silent Bob Reboot in 2019. Their latest appearance was in Clerks III in 2022.
