First introduced in Smith's landmark 1994 feature debut "Clerks," the comedic pair of Monmouth County drug dealers Jay and Silent Bob were last seen on the big screen in 2006's "Clerks II." The duo made a surprise cameo last year in Drake's "I'm Upset" music video.

Written and directed by Smith, "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot" was produced by Liz Destro and Jordan Monsanto of Smodco. The film's trailer, released Thursday, July 18, includes appearances by regular Smith players Ben Affleck, Jason Lee and Matt Damon, and the film co-stars Smith's daughter, Harley Quinn Smith.
