The Boys Return to Destroy Hollywood

The first trailer for Jay & Silent Bob Reboot is here! Good to his word, Kevin Smith assured fans not long ago that he would be bringing the trailer for his latest directorial effort to San Diego Comic-Con this year. Since not all of us could be at the sacred grounds of Hall H to experience the action, he was kind enough to release the Comic-Con trailer online ahead of time, which gives us our first real look at Smith and his longtime collaborate Jason Mewes back as the iconic duo.

It's been a long time since Kevin Smith decided to revisit his own cinematic universe, known as the View Askewniverse, which he started 25 years ago with Clerks. The last time was more than a decade ago when Clerks II was released back in 2006. This time around, Smith is giving us a sequel to 2001's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, which saw the two heading to Hollywood in order to stop a major studio from adapting Bluntman and Chronic into a movie. Smith joked in the early stages of this project that it was the exact same movie, as something of a comment on the reboot-happy nature of the business these days. In this case, they're trying to stop a gender-swapped reboot of Bluntman and Chronic from happening.

Many of the View Askew favorites are along for the ride in this fast-paced and hilarious red band trailer that dropped at Comic-Con, including Jason Lee, Brian O'Halloran, Shannon Elizabeth, Diedrich Bader, Rosario Dawson and many more. We also have several additions and plenty of high-profile cameos to look forward to. These include, but are certainly not limited to, Method Man, Red Man, Molly Shannon, Kate Micucci, Chris Jericho and Chris Hemsworth. As we see, his old pals Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are along for the ride as well. Kevin Smith has also promised that the movie will pay tribute to the late Stan Lee. Surely, there will be more than a few surprises in store during the San Diego Comic-Con panel.

This also marks the first movie project that Kevin Smith has undertaken since suffering his near-fatal heart attack, which he suffered in February 2018. Once Smith was given the all clear by his doctors, it seemed to give him a new lease on life. He's dropped a ton of weight and, professionally speaking, he's certainly appeared to be more engaged. Hopefully, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot benefits from Smith's newfound perspective on the world.

Outside of his big screen return as Silent Bob, Kevin Smith has a few other projects on the backburner. He's still planning to make Moose Jaws, which will conclude his True North trilogy that also includes Tusk and Yoga Hosers. Smith has described the movie as "Jaws with a moose" several times. Additionally, he's attached to work on a Spawn spin-off TV series, Sam and Twitch, and he's got the Howard the Duck animated series for Marvel, which is heading to Hulu.

Good Boys Red Band Trailer #2 Rips Seth Rogen a New One

We have a brand new red-band trailer for Good Boys. The upcoming, R-rated comedy stars Jacob Tremblay, Brady Noon and Keith L. Williams as a trio of young kids who are at a transitional period in their lives and, as much as people like to think of this as an innocent time in one's life, it's anything but innocent, an idea this trailer takes to the extreme. This movie, produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, looks to add a whole lot of good-natured filth to the coming of age genre.

The video kicks off, much like the first red-band trailer, with producer Seth Rogen telling the trio of young cast members that they can't watch the trailer for their own movie, since it's too raunchy. The boys then persist to explain that they've seen some of his inappropriate for kids movies, such as Superbad and Sausage Party. And they also decide to criticize said movies, right to Rogen's face, which leads the actor/writer/producer/director to verbally retaliate in hilarious fashion.

We then get into the actual trailer, which further asserts what has already been made clear in previous trailers; these good boys are absolutely bad, even if they're unwittingly bad. It is loaded down with language that would make Captain America blush, tons of wildly inappropriate situations that sixth-grade kids should not be in and over-the-top hijinks. As much as it feels like every joke in the movie has been thrown into this footage, as someone who has seen it, I can assure you, there is plenty more where this came from.

Good Boys centers on a group of best friends who have just been invited to their first kissing party. 12-year-old Max (Jacob Tremblay) is panic mode, as he doesn't know how to kiss. Eager to learn, he and his best friends Thor (Brady Noon) and Lucas (Keith L. Williams) decide to use Max's dad's drone to spy on a teenage couple making out next door. Unfortunately, things go terribly wrong when the drone is destroyed. The boys must try to replace it before Max's dad gets home, leading them to skip school and set off on an adventure filled with epically bad decisions that involve accidentally stolen drugs, frat-house paintball, and running from both the cops.

The cast also includes Molly Gordon, Lil Rel Howery, Will Forte and Midori Francis. Gene Stupnitsky is in the director's chair, working from a script he co-wrote alongside Lee Eisenberg. The movie debuted earlier this year at SXSW, where it was met with solid praise. As of this writing, it currently holds a 78 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. We'll have an interview with the cast and filmmakers coming your way soon. In the meantime, be sure to check out the new trailer from the Universal Pictures YouTube channel for yourself. Good Boys is set to arrive in theaters on August 16.
