Jason Lee is returning to his most famous role for Kevin Smith’s Jay & Silent Bob Reboot. Smith posted to Instagram to announce that Lee will be reprising his role of Brodie Bruce, played in Mallrats and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, in the new film.
Smith noted that he, Jason Mewes and Lee were filming the first scene of the new film in the Mall, saying, “I couldn’t think of a better scene with which to start the shoot than the return to the Mall with Brodie Bruce. The three of us gathered for a couple hours last night to run the lines and realized we first rehearsed together waaaaay back in the mid-90’s. It may be 24 years later and we may have 6 kids between us, but Jay, Lee and me partied like it was 1995, giggling while adding jokes and finding inflections.”
The film will serve as a sequel to 2001’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and will be released by Saban Films.
