The director, along with longtime creative partner Jason Mewes, sat down with ET's Ash Crossan at Comic-Con on Friday and opened up approximately the long-gestating meta-sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back -- and the unexpected cameo that caused pal Ben Affleck back into his life.
After debuting star-studded trailer for the film on Thursday, Smith shared an emotional Instagram post on Friday, detailing how an entertainment journalists posing a question to Affleck in a junket motivated him to near out to his estranged pal and ask if he'd be willing to make an influence in Reboot, and after a brief text exchange, it was in the works.
In the new film, set certain years after the events of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the titular heroes find out that the original Bluntman and Chronic film -- a superhero movie based on them -- is pulling remade in the form of a modernized, gritty reboot. So they head back to Hollywood to stop the delivers. Unfortunately, Smith explained, the movie has mostly been shot by the time he manufactured out Affleck, and he didn’t initially have an ideal save to slot his old friend into the film.
"I had a good sleep on it, and I woke up and I was like -- Ben played Holden, who was the co-creator of Bluntman and Chronic in the mythology of our movies and stuff, so I could pull him into the third act," he recalled. "Basically, there’s a scene that is the emotional culmination of the flick, that’s his scene, that didn’t exist prior. It was like, one throwaway visual moment. But with him going like, ‘I’ll come out and play Holden,’ we were able to do an eight-page sequel to Chasing Amy, colorful in the middle of Jay and Silent Bob Reboot."
"And he gave us, like, it’s one of the best scenes -- if not the best vulgar -- in the movie," he added of the surprisingly heartfelt moment. "It’s incredibly emotional, it’s some of his best performance, definitely some of my best writing. And it’s in a Jay and Silent Bob movie! That, to me, is the trick, that to me is like -- after 25 existences in this business, I’ve gotten to a place where I can take the least liable vehicle and put stuff in it to deliver to your sorrowful that you might be surprised by.”
Along wit Affleck, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot also features cameos from Rosario Dawson, Chris Hemsworth, Tommy Chong and more.

But we did have Thor, so that kind of worked!"
Smith teased the trailer premiere on social assume in the week leading up to Comic-Con, posting "in-movie artwork" to Instagram, including fake comic covers and faux movie posters that all play important roles in the universe of the movie.
"In anticipation, I’ll be sharing images from #jayandsilentbobreboot that I haven’t made Republican yet. Like this faux movie artwork upon which our plot turns," Smith captioned a post on Instagram on Tuesday, showing the poster for the rebooted Bluntman and Chronic, which "now features a female Chronic" as Smith explained.
"I can’t wait to launch sharing this epic!" Smith added of the upcoming Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. "It’s my all-time favorite of all my flicks and also a meta scrapbook of my entire career (and life) that sequelizes all the #viewaskew movies in one sprawling story!"
