- Empire Online broke a BIG scoop today with a surprise casting in “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Backâ€. That’s right folks, Mark Hamill, Luke Skyalker himself, will appear in the film. Gary Jensen, the film’s stunt coordinator, broke some big info on the film, and, while we think some of it may be spoiler-ish, it IS just cameo-type stuff. So, as always, swoop the text below and read it at your own risk. Here’s the excerpt from the article that breaks the scoop, which explains the nature of Hamill’s role (which is the part you’ll need to swipe to read):
Filming on the fourth and final installment of Kevin Smith’s New Jersey series, Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back, is well underway now, and we spoke to the film’s stunt-coordinator Gary Jensen about what’s in store.
“We have a big comedy scene where they’re spoofing a lot of movies,†Jensen told Empire Online. “Jay and Silent Bob go to Hollywood and we’re spoofing E.T., we’re spoofing Star Wars, and a whole bunch of others.†With a mammoth cast including turns from Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, David Duchovny, Jason Biggs, Shannon Elizabeth and er… Judd Nelson, the film is shaping up to be the most ambitious project of the series and will be dishing out a heavy dose of satire to a number of iconic screen moments.
[SPOILER] “We’re doing a big lightsaber fight, it’s kinda fun. Jay and Silent Bob versus Mark Hamill. [END SPOILER] It’s very funny.â€
This flick’s getting better and better all the time!
