As you know, Kevin Smith is a huge Star Wars fan and like the rest of us, he enjoys talking about fan theories. During a recent episode of the Fatman on Batman podcast, Smith shared his favorite fan theory that involves Rey’s mom being fan favorite character Ahsoka. In fact, he liked the theory so much that he contacted J.J. Abrams to talk to him about it! Here’s what Smith had to say:
Kevin Smith is taking the View Askewniverse in a new direction.
In a lengthy Facebook post, the director of Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Mallrats revealed future plans for his film universe. Smith admitted much-coveted sequels to Mallrats and the third Clerks film had been canned for various reasons and that Jay and Silent Bob were getting a new installment. Continue reading
Last night news broke that Ben Affleck stepped down as the director of The Batman for the good of the film. The director’s chair is now wide open for someone to come in and lead the film into glory or failure. After Affleck dropped out, some fans immediately started to rally behind Kevin Smith for the job. The guy has a long history with comic books and even wrote the limited series “Batman: The Widening Gyre”. He has also recently been directing episodes of “Supergirl” and “The Flash” for The CW.

What’s happening with the much-discussed, long-in-development movie reboot of Spawn? Kevin Smith got some information out of the character’s creator, Image Comics co-founder Todd McFarlane, about the project on an upcoming episode of Geeking Out, and AMC has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive first look at that conversation.
In the clip from Geeking Out, DC All Access and CW Fan Talk presenter Tiffany Smith talks with McFarlane about the plans for a movie reboot. Continue reading
Kevin Smith is going back to basics…again! After a long dabble in the indie horror genre, it looks like the geek-acclaimed director is going to resurrect his classic Mallrats as a 10-part series! Continue reading
Kevin Smith has revealed the title of his upcoming Mallrats sequel, and it doesn’t have a “2” at the end of it. As you can see on the title of the article above, the movie will be called Mallbrats. I’m not quite sure what exactly it means, but I imagine on top of the older returning cast, there will also be a group of younger teens that the story will revolve around.
I’m not certain that’s the case, but if it is, it will be interesting to see the older original characters interacting with younger, brattier teenagers. I can can already see the many conversations that can come out of how things aren’t the way they used to be when Brodie and company were teens.
The returning cast includes Jason Lee, Shannen Doherty, Ethan Suplee, Jeremy London, Renee Humphry, Claire Forlani, Joey Lauren Adams, Jason Mewes, Stan Lee, Michael Rooker, and Sven-Ole Thorsen. The only one that isn’t on board yet is Ben Affleck, but Smith is trying to get him.
Smith is looking to shoot MallBrats later this year, and it will most likely get a 2016 release.
