As is customary, Kevin Smith took to the stage at Hall H of the San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend to entertain fans with a couple of big announcements, including the release of the official trailer for his new 80s set coming-of-age comedy The 4:30 Movie.
Before we get to that however, Smith announced that he’ll soon be returning to the View Askewniverse as he and Jason Mewes will be reprising their signature roles as Jay and Silent Bob once more for an upcoming film entitled Jay and Silent Bob: Store Wars, which will see the pair running a weed dispensary and clashing with rivals.
We’ll presumably get more details on the new Jay and Silent Bob soon, but in the meantime, here’s the poster, trailer and images for Smith’s newest The 4:30 Movie, coming this September from Saban Films…
Writer-director Kevin Smith presents his most personal film to date with this coming-of-age story — set in the summer of 1986 — that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex. When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager (Ken Jeong) and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans. Justin Long, Rosario Dawson, Jason Biggs, and more contribute outrageous characters to this poignant comic valentine to moviegoing and the youth of the ’80s.
Featuring in the cast of The 4:30 Movie are Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, Reed Northrup, Siena Agudong, Betty Aberlin, Diedrich Bader, Jason Biggs, Rosario Dawson, Rachel Dratch, Ralph Garman, Jason Lee, Logic, Justin Long, Jason Mewes, Kate Micucci, Jenny Mollen, Adam Pally, Sam Richardson, Genesis Rodriguez, Jennifer Schwalbach, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Harley Quinn Smith and Ken Jeong.
The 4:30 Movie is set for release in the US on September 13th 2024.
