Kevin Smith discusses Val Kilmer’s Bluntman casting in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot

July 28, 2019 by Gary Collinson

As revealed by Kevin Smith earlier this month, the plot of his View Askewniverse return Jay and Silent Bob Reboot will see the stoner duo setting off on another trip to Hollywood in an effort to block a “modernized” reboot of Bluntman and Chronic featuring Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist as a gender-swapped Chronic and – as we saw in the Comic-Con trailer – former Batman Val Kilmer in the role of Bluntman.

Posting on Instagram, Smith has offered some insight into how Kilmer’s cameo appearance came about and described his experience working with the actor on set as “a highlight of my 25 year career”.
