Kevin Smith has been working on bringing some of his favorite characters back in the last few years, and a follow-up to one of his classic ‘90s comedies is on its way. He recently teased a sequel to Mallrats and shared its working title with his fans.

Smith shared a lengthy recap of 2019 on Instagram in celebration of the New Year and revealed what he has in store for 2020. One of the projects he’s working on right now is a new script titled Twilight of the Mallrats.

The first Mallrats movie came out in 1995, and it featured several of Smith’s classic characters, including Jay and Silent Bob. This won’t be the first time he brought them back since he seems to be working on several other sequels right now.

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot came out last year and featured cameos of several Hollywood A-listers, including Chris Hemsworth, Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon. Kevin Smith also promised that the script for Clerks III is underway. We’re yet to see which of his many projects in development is going to come out first.

2019 was seriously one of the best years of my life! So many of my dreams came true this year, as well as a few big things too dazzling to even dare dream about! From the return of @jayandsilentbob, to having my career literally cemented at the legendary @chinesetheatres, to Clerks being accepted into the @librarycongress – 2019 kept giving and giving! Sooooo glad I didn’t drop dead back in 2018, because I would’ve missed all the stuff I listed with my pic. Thank you to everyone who supported the #jayandsilentbob #rebootroadshow Tour: we’ve made over 3 million bucks from our 2 @fathomevents screenings and the 37 cities we’ve visited so far (Tour resumes January 10th in Oakland for another 25 cities through Feb 26). Many thanks for powering my dopey dream of reopening the Askewniverse and making me and @jaymewes feel so welcomed in all your towns and cities! It’s gonna be hard for 2020 to measure up to 2019 – but I’m off to a fun start by writing stuff for Brodie Bruce & Co. to say in the new script I’m calling TWILIGHT OF THE MALLRATS! The CLERKS III script is also underway, so we’ll see which flick will be my first film of the roaring 20’s! But tonight, I end the year like I always do – standing on the stage at the @hollywoodimprov with @ralphgarman, making BABBLE until the Ball drops (a few tix left at the link in my bio)! It was a decade that began badly with COP OUT and the TOO FAT TO FLY incident. The decade of the Red State Tour, @tuskthemovie and @yogahosers! It was the decade in which I almost died of a massive heart attack, and the decade where I went Vegan and got down to my high school weight! Who knows what the next decade holds in store for us – but I’m ready to turn the page and find out! Happy New Year, my friends!
