Kevin Smith Announces Next Five Movies Including MOOSE JAWS, JAY AND SILENT BOB 4, and TWILIGHT OF THE MALLRATS

Writer and director Kevin Smith is going to be keeping himself super busy with several new films that he’s currently developing. During a recent appearance at GalaxyCon, Smith shared that he has his next five films lined up and they are all set up in various studios.

Smith revealed that his next two films will be the long-awaited Twilight of the Mallrats and The 4:30 Movie, which is a film inspired by his life. We don’t know which of these movies will go first. The filmmaker is also developing his long-talked-about horror movie Moose Jaws, a fourth Jay and Silent Bob movie, and a sequel to Tusk.

He shared some insight on how these projects came about and are coming along saying:

"[Moose Jaws] is a movie I've been threatening to make for a long time, but thanks to the good folks at Lionsgate it's actually going to happen. The reason Clerks III got made is, Lionsgate had home video on Jay & Silent Bob Reboot. They didn't have theatrical, that was Saban and overseas it was Universal, but Lionsgate had home video. Which, to me, is streaming, but Lionsgate still makes DVDs and Blu-rays and SteelBooks, physical media. So four months after the physical media release of Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, we got a phone call from the people at Lionsgate and they were like, 'We sold so many copies of Jay & Silent Bob Reboot on DVD and Blu-ray that if you have any more of this Jay and Silent Bob bullshit and you can make it for under eight million dollars, we'll totally do it. And I was like, 'I am filled with nothing but Jay and Silent Bob bullshit!'"

He then went on to talk about how Moose Jaws got the greenlight and that Lionsgate wants to make four of them. He continued:

"And so they were like, 'Well, like what?' And I said, 'I've got this movie Clerks III that they're in,' they're like, 'Okay, what else?' 'I got this movie called Moose Jaws,' and they were like, 'What's Moose Jaws?' And I was like, 'Moose Jaws is like Jaws but with a Moose instead of a shark.' And they said, 'What's the budget on that?' I was like, 'About three million bucks,' they're like, 'We'll make four of them.' So it looks like Moose Jaws is finally gonna happen."

So, Smith is going to keep himself pretty busy over the next few years making these movies, which is pretty cool! The one I’m most excited about seeing is Moose Jaws. That movie sounds like a crazy fun time!
