- Our longtime scooper and fan John Couture had the pleasure of introducing Kevin to the crowd in Indianapolis last week, and now has the pleasure of bringing a new scoop to us here at News Askew and via his own site, VideoETA. It seems that Jason Mewes will produce a new animated series, to be released online, featuring Bluntman and Chronic. As we recall Bluntman being mostly a silent partner, naturally, the key voice needed to make this happen IS Mewes, so it makes a lot of sense. This, from the Q&A after the Indy show:
The other news item that I hadn’t seen mentioned anywhere was the reveal that Jason Mewes was producing (yes, you read that right) an animated Bluntman & Chronic feature film that would be released online in serial form. As I’m sure you remember, Bluntman & Chronic were comic book alter egos of Jay and Silent Bob that make their first appearance in Chasing Amy
In fact, the whole plot of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back revolves around Jay and Silent Bob making their way to Hollywood to stop production of a Bluntman & Chronic movie. I guess you can say that life is imitating art yet again. I’m really excited to see what Jason Mewes will do with the project. He’s come a long way personally and professionally and this would be a home run and a way to keep the View Askewniverse alive.
No word yet on an ETA, but this one sounds like a very real possibility. If we get details on production starting, a potential venue on the web for it (S.I.R.’s first video offering, perhaps?), you’ll know via News Askew.
