While filming is taking place, there will be a series of behind-the-scenes videos available for fans to watch on Smith's YouTube channel, much like he did for Clerks II.

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot comes 18 years after cult movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with the new movie starting filming on February 25, the date coming a year after the director survived a massive heart attack.

SNOOGANS! To celebrate my 25th anniversary at Sundance, I’m pleased as a pot-head to announce that the good folks at SABAN and UNIVERSAL have given the green light to #JayAndSilentBobReboot! @JayMewes and I start shooting on 2/25 (the one year anniversary of my heart attack)! https://t.co/fFTO9AFZbk — KevinSmith (@ThatKevinSmith) January 25, 2019

"Last February, I almost died," he said (via Deadline). "So on the one year anniversary of my widow-maker heart attack, as a celebration of life and a big ol’ F you to Death, my best friend and I will be rolling cameras on a sequel/remake/reboot of a movie we first made nearly 20 years ago!

"In Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, our herbal heroes found out Hollywood was making a movie based on them, so they journeyed out to Hollywood to stop it.

"But I’ve learned so much as a storyteller and have grown immensely as a filmmaker since then, so audiences can expect something completely different: In Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, our herbal heroes find out Hollywood is making a reboot of the old movie that was based on them, so they journey out to Hollywood to stop it again.

"I offer my (literal) undying thanks to our amazing partners at Saban and Universal for making this dream come true and backing this cinematic silliness!" he added of the producers.

Jay and Silent Bob first appeared in 1994 movie Clerks, and subsequently appeared in Smith's films Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma alongside Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
