Oscar-winning duo MATT DAMON and BEN AFFLECK have always had a sense of humor about themselves and the Hollywood filmmaking machine. Now, thanks to longtime pal and cult director KEVIN SMITH, the pair gets to mock their Hollywood images in the amusing new film, ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.’

In ‘Jay and Silent Bob,’ Matt and Ben play themselves on the set of the fictional ‘Good Will Hunting’ sequel, ‘Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season.’ Their cameo appearance allows for plenty of biting satirical dialogue (scripted by Smith) in which the actors get to dig on each other’s film flops, from ‘Forces of Nature’ and ‘Phantoms’ to ‘All the Pretty Horses’ and ‘The Legend of Bagger Vance,’ while still getting in a jab or two at Smith’s expense. The hilarious, self-reflective scene even has a cameo from ‘Hunting’ director GUS VAN SANT!

The final chapter of Smith’s New Jersey Chronicles (which debuted in 1994 with the cult comedy ‘Clerks,’ then followed with ‘Mallrats,’ ‘Chasing Amy’ and 1999’s ‘Dogma.’), ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back’ finds the arguably beloved title characters on a cross-country chase from Jersey to California to save their “reputations” when a corporate studio wants to turn their comic book into a motion picture. The film also features cameos by Smith regulars JASON LEE and JOEY LAUREN ADAMS, plus GEORGE CARLIN, CARRIE FISHER, MARK HAMILL, SHANNEN DOHERTY, JON STEWART, JUDD NELSON, SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT, plus a few other surprise guests.
