The CW series Supergirl had a rocky journey from day one. It premiered on CBS and was almost canceled after its first season. Eventually, it was moved to The CW and gained popularity, becoming one of the fan favorites in the Arrowverse. Last week, fans got some bad news as the network announced that the upcoming season of the show will be its last.

Prominent among the cast and crew that have expressed their love for the show and for the experience of making it, is filmmaker Kevin Smith who directed several episodes of the series. On his show Fatman Beyond, smith talked with his co-host Marc Bernardin about the show’s ending and said that he had the time of his life working on the show.

“Working on that show was some of the best times I’ve had in my life, professionally and personally,” Smith said. “I’m so glad that show exists. I loved it before I directed on it, just thought, ‘God, her relationship with her sister is so beautiful.'”

He went on to compliment the show’s star Melissa Benoist on her professionalism. “She was always wonderful,” he said.

Smith also emphasized he would love to direct one of the series’ final episodes.

Countless celebrities have made an appearance on The Simpsons over the last decades and now there is a new addition to the list: director Kevin Smith. Smith went on Instagram and posted a picture of himself recording the lines his character will say in the upcoming episode.

In his post, Smith did not bother to hide his excitement brought by this new gig. “D’OH! I reached a career milestone yesterday when I voiced myself on The Simpsons!” Smith wrote. “This was a massive moment in my life, right up there with the Chinese Theater footprints or Clerks getting into the Library of Congress!”

The Simpsons are in my creative DNA and I’ve spent my career trying to ape their blend of humor and heart,” he continued. “So when I received the invitation to voice a Simpsonized version of me, I wept tears of joy. Carolyn Omine is the Emmy winning writer of the ep, as well as my way into my favorite show of all time. When Homer called Maggie Silent Bob in ‘3 Gays and a Condo’ I thought that was the closest I’d ever come to Springfield.”

D’OH! I reached a career milestone yesterday when I voiced myself on @thesimpsons! This was a massive moment in my life, right up there with the @chinesetheatres foot prints or #Clerks getting into the @librarycongress! I was a big fan of the @matt.groening comic strip #lifeinhell, which ran weekly in the @villagevoice. The day they premiered the #traceyullman Show on @foxtv, I was there to see the cartoon shorts by the same guy. “I like the punching bag sound,” said Marge, and I knew I was seeing something historic. Shy of the Bart-choking, it reminded me of *my* family, and all the other families in my hometown. So when they gave #thesimpsons their own Christmas special, I was there for the initial airing (when Santa’s Little Helper joined the family), watching with @tellemants. We loved this show, and you gotta remember, I was in my late teens when this show began – so I was rebelling against everything. But The Simpsons was *already* anti-establishment – so we built our lives around Sundays and watched every episode, laughing, learning and loving. The Simpsons are in my creative DNA and I’ve spent my career trying to ape their blend of humor and heart. So when I received the invitation to voice a Simpsonized version of me, I wept tears of joy. @carolynohmine is the Emmy winning writer of the ep, as well as my way into my favorite show of all time. When Homer called Maggie Silent Bob in “3 Gays and a Condo” I thought that was the closest I’d ever come to Springfield. But thanks to Carolyn, now I get to speak to #homersimpson himself! Eternal thanks to Carolyn, everyone writing on the show, the recording engineers, and all the way more famous people who probably passed on this part, allowing Carolyn to go way down the list to find my name! I told the kids in the writers room I didn’t care if I was first, second or third choice: I was just ecstatic to be there. The head writer joked “You were our *final* choice.” So finally, after being a fan for 35 seasons, I’m gonna be part of the Simpsons’ world! And it was all yellow… #KevinSmith #simpsons #milestone #dream (Thanks to AP #briankaufman for snapping the pics and casting man #nickconti for passing them on!)

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!

3 CLERKS! Thanks to the good folks at @zscentertainment and @leeloomultiprops, I got to see Randal! #JeffAnderson, @jaymewes, and I spent Saturday signing stuff and catching up, seeing so much movie merch that’s been made over the last 25 years (hit the Leloo site for sweet signed skateboards)! But even better than that? We talked about making a movie together. It’ll be a movie that concludes a saga. It’ll be a movie about how you’re never too old to completely change your life. It’ll be a movie about how a decades-spanning friendship finally confronts the future. It’ll be a movie that brings us back to the beginning – a return to the cradle of civilization in the great state of #newjersey. It’ll be a movie that stars Jeff and @briancohalloran, with me and Jay in supporting roles. And it’ll be a movie called CLERKS III! To be great is to go on. To go on is to go far. To go far is to return. And we’re all gonna return to the scene of the crime! This won’t be the old script we almost made a few years back: this is a completely new screenplay that I just started writing last night! And so far, it’s like a dream come true! After mending fences with @benaffleck earlier this year, I was hoping for a chance to do the same with Jeff – so huge thanks to Leeloo Multiprops for getting us all in the same room. But the biggest thanks ever go to Jeff, for being receptive to the idea at all. This means I’m gonna get to play with my two favorite inaction figures again: Dante & Randal! Two weeks from the debut of @jayandsilentbob Reboot (on @fathomevents screens 10/15 & 10/17, link in my bio), I’m ecstatic to announce our imminent return to Quick Stop! So I assure you: we’re open! #KevinSmith #clerks3 #jaymewes #jayandsilentbob #danteandrandal #quickstop #leeloomultiprops #indiefilm #clerks

“It’ll be a movie about how you’re never too old to completely change your life,” Smith explained on the ‘gram. “It’ll be a movie about how a decades-spanning friendship finally confronts the future. It’ll be a movie that brings us back to the beginning — a return to the cradle of civilization in the great state of New Jersey. It’ll be a movie that stars Jeff and Brian O’Halloran, with me and [Jason Mewes] in supporting roles. And it’ll be a movie called Clerks III! To be great is to go on. To go on is to go far.

This won’t be the old script we almost made a few years back: this is a completely new screenplay that I just started writing last night!”

The original Clerks came out in 1994 followed by a sequel in 2006.

The new Jay and Silent Bob reboot is sure to feature many cameos by A-list stars throughout the film and now we got a glimpse at one of them. During the Saturn awards ceremony, Jason Mewes, who portrays Jay in the movie, showed a short clip from it, revealing the part that Supergirl star Melissa Benoist will play on it.

The clip shows the protagonists, Jay and Silent Bob, watching the movie based on their likeness Chronic and Bluntman. The clip shows Benoist’s character portraying Jay based Chronic in the film within a film in a scene which brings her face to face with Silent Bob based Bluntman played by Val Kilmer. Also shown in the scene is Tommy Chong who played a stoned version of the faithful Alfred.

The scene is a clear spoof of a Batmen V Superman: Dawn of Justice, where the two popular superheroes face each other in the fanbase’s dream come to life scene. Bluntman even uses a… similar… grenade to the kryptonite Batman has used in the original movie.

Along with Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, the cast of the movie will include Shannon Elizabeth, Jason Lee, Donnell Rawlings, Joey Lauren Adams, and numerous other stars. It is set to be released on October 15.

A Masters of the Universe live-action movie is coming our way in 2021, but it seems we won’t have to wait that long for He-Man to return to our lives. Netflix is currently plotting an animated series inspired by this legendary hero, with Kevin Smith serving as showrunner.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation will focus on some of the unresolved storylines from the beloved ‘80s franchise. Smith seems like the perfect person for the job, since he happens to be a huge fan of Mattel’s series.

“I’m Eternia-ly grateful to Mattel TV and Netflix for entrusting me with not only the secrets of Grayskull, but also their entire Universe, In Revelation, we pick up right where the classic era left off to tell an epic tale of what may be the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor!” the filmmaker said in an official statement.

This won’t be the first Masters of the Universe inspired project developed by Netflix. This streaming service is also a home to animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, which currently has three seasons.

Jay and Silent Bob fans rejoice! A reboot is officially happening!

Entertainment Weekly confirms that Saban films has picked up the North American rights to a reboot, which will be a sequel to the 2001 comedy Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Jason Mewes (Jay) and Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) will reprise their roles alongside “a number of returning players from the star-studded cast of the original movie,” and new additions “from the worlds of movies, TV, music, and podcasting.”

“Last February, I almost died,” Smith said in a statement, “So on the one year anniversary of my widow maker heart attack, as a celebration of life and a big ol’ F you to Death, my best friend and I will be rolling cameras on a sequel/remake/reboot of a movie we first made nearly twenty years ago!”

He continued: “In Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back our herbal heroes found out Hollywood was making a movie based on them, so they journeyed out to Hollywood to stop it. But I’ve learned so much as a storyteller and have grown immensely as a filmmaker since then, so audiences can expect something completely different: In Jay & Silent Bob Reboot our herbal heroes find out Hollywood is making a reboot of the old movie that was based on them, so they journey out to Hollywood to stop it again. I offer my (literal) undying thanks to our amazing partners at Saban and Universal for making this dream come true and backing this cinematic silliness!”

Check out below a video of Smith and Mewes with additional details about the forthcoming reboot.

The long-awaited sequel to 2001’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back will finally enter production in August 2018, according to director Kevin Smith. The sequel, titled Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, was announced back in February 2017 but no further details surfaced since.

On Thursday, however, Kevin Smith decided to give fans some details about the project, during Q&A session at his podcast Fatman on Batman. Besides revealing that Jay and Silent Bob Reboot should enter production in August 2018 and with a release date set for August 2019, Smith also spoke about the plot of the movie.

“We’re doing a sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and it’s called Jay and Silent Bob Reboot,” said Smith. “It’s us, it’s me and Jay so it’s not really strictly a reboot in the way that people think of a reboot. If you remember Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back it was a movie in which Jay and Silent Bob found out Hollywood was making a movie about them so they went cross country to Hollywood to stop that from happening. In Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Jay and Silent Bob find out that Hollywood is making a reboot of that old movie that they had made about them, and they have to go across the country to Hollywood to stop it all over again. It’s a movie that makes fun of sequels and remakes and reboots while being all three at the same time.”

You can check out below the Fatman on Batman podcast in which Kevin Smith talks about Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

Original 2001’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back focused on marijuana selling duo Jay and Silent Bob, frequent supporting characters in other movies of Kevin Smith including Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma. The movie received mixed reviews from the critics and was a minor box office success, grossing $33.8 million compared to $22 million budget.

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!

3 CLERKS! Thanks to the good folks at @zscentertainment and @leeloomultiprops, I got to see Randal! #JeffAnderson, @jaymewes, and I spent Saturday signing stuff and catching up, seeing so much movie merch that’s been made over the last 25 years (hit the Leloo site for sweet signed skateboards)! But even better than that? We talked about making a movie together. It’ll be a movie that concludes a saga. It’ll be a movie about how you’re never too old to completely change your life. It’ll be a movie about how a decades-spanning friendship finally confronts the future. It’ll be a movie that brings us back to the beginning – a return to the cradle of civilization in the great state of #newjersey. It’ll be a movie that stars Jeff and @briancohalloran, with me and Jay in supporting roles. And it’ll be a movie called CLERKS III! To be great is to go on. To go on is to go far. To go far is to return. And we’re all gonna return to the scene of the crime! This won’t be the old script we almost made a few years back: this is a completely new screenplay that I just started writing last night! And so far, it’s like a dream come true! After mending fences with @benaffleck earlier this year, I was hoping for a chance to do the same with Jeff – so huge thanks to Leeloo Multiprops for getting us all in the same room. But the biggest thanks ever go to Jeff, for being receptive to the idea at all. This means I’m gonna get to play with my two favorite inaction figures again: Dante & Randal! Two weeks from the debut of @jayandsilentbob Reboot (on @fathomevents screens 10/15 & 10/17, link in my bio), I’m ecstatic to announce our imminent return to Quick Stop! So I assure you: we’re open! #KevinSmith #clerks3 #jaymewes #jayandsilentbob #danteandrandal #quickstop #leeloomultiprops #indiefilm #clerks

“It’ll be a movie about how you’re never too old to completely change your life,” Smith explained on the ‘gram. “It’ll be a movie about how a decades-spanning friendship finally confronts the future. It’ll be a movie that brings us back to the beginning — a return to the cradle of civilization in the great state of New Jersey. It’ll be a movie that stars Jeff and Brian O’Halloran, with me and [Jason Mewes] in supporting roles. And it’ll be a movie called Clerks III! To be great is to go on. To go on is to go far. To go far is to return. And we’re all gonna return to the scene of the crime! This won’t be the old script we almost made a few years back: this is a completely new screenplay that I just started writing last night!”

The original Clerks came out in 1994 followed by a sequel in 2006.

The new Jay and Silent Bob reboot is sure to feature many cameos by A-list stars throughout the film and now we got a glimpse at one of them. During the Saturn awards ceremony, Jason Mewes, who portrays Jay in the movie, showed a short clip from it, revealing the part that Supergirl star Melissa Benoist will play on it.

The clip shows the protagonists, Jay and Silent Bob, watching the movie based on their likeness Chronic and Bluntman. The clip shows Benoist’s character portraying Jay based Chronic in the film within a film in a scene which brings her face to face with Silent Bob based Bluntman played by Val Kilmer. Also shown in the scene is Tommy Chong who played a stoned version of the faithful Alfred.

The scene is a clear spoof of a Batmen V Superman: Dawn of Justice, where the two popular superheroes face each other in the fanbase’s dream come to life scene. Bluntman even uses a… similar… grenade to the kryptonite Batman has used in the original movie.

Along with Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, the cast of the movie will include Shannon Elizabeth, Jason Lee, Donnell Rawlings, Joey Lauren Adams, and numerous other stars. It is set to be released on October 15.

A Masters of the Universe live-action movie is coming our way in 2021, but it seems we won’t have to wait that long for He-Man to return to our lives. Netflix is currently plotting an animated series inspired by this legendary hero, with Kevin Smith serving as showrunner.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation will focus on some of the unresolved storylines from the beloved ‘80s franchise. Smith seems like the perfect person for the job, since he happens to be a huge fan of Mattel’s series.

“I’m Eternia-ly grateful to Mattel TV and Netflix for entrusting me with not only the secrets of Grayskull, but also their entire Universe, In Revelation, we pick up right where the classic era left off to tell an epic tale of what may be the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor!” the filmmaker said in an official statement.

This won’t be the first Masters of the Universe inspired project developed by Netflix. This streaming service is also a home to animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, which currently has three seasons.

Jay and Silent Bob fans rejoice! A reboot is officially happening!

Entertainment Weekly confirms that Saban films has picked up the North American rights to a reboot, which will be a sequel to the 2001 comedy Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Jason Mewes (Jay) and Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) will reprise their roles alongside “a number of returning players from the star-studded cast of the original movie,” and new additions “from the worlds of movies, TV, music, and podcasting.”

“Last February, I almost died,” Smith said in a statement, “So on the one year anniversary of my widow maker heart attack, as a celebration of life and a big ol’ F you to Death, my best friend and I will be rolling cameras on a sequel/remake/reboot of a movie we first made nearly twenty years ago!”

He continued: “In Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back our herbal heroes found out Hollywood was making a movie based on them, so they journeyed out to Hollywood to stop it. But I’ve learned so much as a storyteller and have grown immensely as a filmmaker since then, so audiences can expect something completely different: In Jay & Silent Bob Reboot our herbal heroes find out Hollywood is making a reboot of the old movie that was based on them, so they journey out to Hollywood to stop it again. I offer my (literal) undying thanks to our amazing partners at Saban and Universal for making this dream come true and backing this cinematic silliness!”

Check out below a video of Smith and Mewes with additional details about the forthcoming reboot.

The long-awaited sequel to 2001’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back will finally enter production in August 2018, according to director Kevin Smith. The sequel, titled Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, was announced back in February 2017 but no further details surfaced since.

On Thursday, however, Kevin Smith decided to give fans some details about the project, during Q&A session at his podcast Fatman on Batman. Besides revealing that Jay and Silent Bob Reboot should enter production in August 2018 and with a release date set for August 2019, Smith also spoke about the plot of the movie.

“We’re doing a sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and it’s called Jay and Silent Bob Reboot,” said Smith. “It’s us, it’s me and Jay so it’s not really strictly a reboot in the way that people think of a reboot. If you remember Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back it was a movie in which Jay and Silent Bob found out Hollywood was making a movie about them so they went cross country to Hollywood to stop that from happening. In Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Jay and Silent Bob find out that Hollywood is making a reboot of that old movie that they had made about them, and they have to go across the country to Hollywood to stop it all over again. It’s a movie that makes fun of sequels and remakes and reboots while being all three at the same time.”

You can check out below the Fatman on Batman podcast in which Kevin Smith talks about Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

Original 2001’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back focused on marijuana selling duo Jay and Silent Bob, frequent supporting characters in other movies of Kevin Smith including Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma. The movie received mixed reviews from the critics and was a minor box office success, grossing $33.8 million compared to $22 million budget.
