Jay and Silent Bob 3 Gets Title, Filming Update From Kevin Smith

The official title and production start date for Jay and Silent Bob 3 have finally been revealed, teasing what to expect from the next chapter of Kevin Smith’s stoner comedy franchise. This comes more than six years after its sequel was released, which received a Popcornmeter rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

What’s the new update for Kevin Smith’s Jay and Silent Bob 3?

Jay and Silent Bob 3 has officially been given the title of Jay and Silent Bob: Store Wars, which was initially set to start production in Canada earlier this year. At the moment, the third installment is now scheduled to film in another location sometime in 2026.

Speaking with THR, Smith opened up about the third movie’s filming delay, revealing that the trade war between the U.S. government and Canada was one of the main reasons why they’ve decided to move the project’s production start date.

“We had Canadian money, and the Canadian money went away. It was just as people were getting aggressive with our friends up north,” Smith revealed. “I was more down on myself for the movie falling apart. I was like, ‘Well, this is your fault. You should have been more successful. If you’d been better at your job, then you could fucking pay for your own art, and you wouldn’t have to go hat in hand to somebody else.’ So I can’t bitch.”

The Jay and Silent Bob film franchise takes place in Smith’s cinematic universe called the View Askewniverse. It centers around stoner friends Jay and Silent Bob, portrayed by Jason Mewes and Smith, respectively. They are the only characters who have appeared in all of Smith’s movies in the View Askewniverse, including Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma. Further details about the upcoming third movie’s plot and cast members are still under wraps.
