Here's what we know about the upcoming film so far.

Release date

No release date has been, well, released yet.

Production on the film began Feb. 25, exactly one year after Smith had a near-fatal heart attack.

Plot

There are not many details on the plot yet, either, though Smith has said it is "literally the same (expletive) movie all over again."

According to a description on IMDB.com, Jay and Silent Bob return to Hollywood to stop a "Bluntman and Chronic" reboot from being made.

Cast

Some familiar names have been announced so far as starring in or having a cameo in the sequel.

Method Acting! In @jayandsilentbob Reboot, we finally answer the immortal question: How high? So @jaymewes and I turned to the only men who might be able to solve this eternal mystery: @methodmanofficial & @redmangilla! Holy fuck, what a great night we had on set! It was a gigantic, packed day where we had a hundred extras and I was in and out of costumes - and in the middle of it all was the Mef and Red scene. But the moment we called “Action,” the legends launched into the single best first take I ever shot in 25 years: they were pitch-perfect and hysterical (and a little touching)! It was so good, I could’ve cut their whole performance from that one take! But my friends flew all way to #nola to say this shit, so we did another two shot, a pair of singles and then picture wrapped our secret sauce! I’ve had millions of memorable moments over the course of my career. But watching that magic take unfurl is in my Top Ten! And when I heard #methodman and #redman say “Snoogans” and “Snootchie Bootchies”? I was lifted! Many thanks for bringing absolute fire, my friends! #KevinSmith #jasonmewes #jaymewes #JayandSilentBobReboot #indiefilm #JayandSilentBob #wutang #acting #JayandSilentBobStrikeBack #indiefilmmaking
