Rebootch to the Nootch! Fans were delighted this Saturday at LA Comic Con 2019 when two of the most iconic duos in film history took the stage. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith have graced both the big and small screens for years as the hilarious stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob. After appearing in six live-action theatrical films (and one animated) together, the duo are set to reprise their roles in the upcoming “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot”. “Reboot” sees our heroes once again embarking on a road trip to Hollywood to stop production on a film reboot of the old “Bluntman and Chronic” movie based on their likeness.

“The film pokes fun at reboots, remakes, and sequels while being all three at the same time,” said Smith, who not only plays Silent Bob, but has also written and directed every “Jay and Silent Bob” film to date! Smith and Mewes shared that this was a film each of them had wanted to make for a long time, especially after the unfortunate development problems surrounding Clerks III and Mallrats 2. Smith noted that while he set out to essentially make the same movie as 2001’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, he also wanted to make it a movie about fatherhood. In 2015, Mewes himself became a father to a baby girl named Logan.

Smith noted that watching Mewes be a dad really informed and help shape the movie into what it became, as the film’s subplot deals with the character of Jay learning he has a love child, Milly, who is played by Smith’s real-life daughter Harley Quinn Smith. “Everytime I put a picture of me and the kid on Instagram everyone says “I don’t know man, she looks more like Jay then you!” so naturally I had to cast my daughter as Jay’s daughter in the flick”, said Smith.

The panel concluded with a small clip from the film featuring the return of Jason Lee reprising his iconic role from 1995’s Mallrats as Brodie Bruce, the ever-witty comic book geek that now operates his own comic book store in the local mall. Smith and Mewes also invited fans to the Legion M booth after the panel to take part in a Jay and Silent Bob-themed cosplay photo shoot, which can be viewed below!

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
