Writer/Director Kevin Smith has confirmed the existence of the 'Snyder Cut' of Jay & Silent Bob Reboot for the first time since 2006's Clerks II.
After directing both campaign at San Diego Comic-Con.
Speaking with Snyder's own confirmation. Smith went on to clarify that the film is far from complete, with many of the VFX not yet added. That being said, he believes that wouldn't be a problem for most fans, saying:
"I think the audience now, particularly the audience that would consume the Snyder Cut and discuss it at great length, can watch a workprint. They can watch a work-in-progress and fill in the blanks in their heads. They could shoot a version of that flick where, you know, they put Snyder into it explaining what would have gone here, what went there."
In recent years, Smith has further cultivated his already-ionate following with various podcasts and stand-up specials, while simultaneously producing ion projects like Smith had reconnected with Ben Affleck - who, after making his debut in Smith's earlier films, went on to play Batman in Justice League. They will both be seen together in Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, which sees the two iconic stoners (who debuted in Clerks and have been a recurring Smith feature ever since) venture to Hollywood in order to once again prevent a movie based on their in-world comic likenesses from being made.
Though the DCEU has ventured in a direction very different from Shazam! - it's difficult to deny that it would make sense to release the 'Snyder Cut' even just on a financial level. The ionate following for such a release is clearly there, even if it's only released on DVD and Blu-ray, doing nothing to alter the current trajectory of their films. Whether or not Warner Bros. surrenders to that demand or continues to double-down on the theatrical version remains to be seen. Whatever the case, the Justice League campaign has added yet another vocal er to their corner.
