• By now, many of you have heard the rumors from Reel & AICN about a possible appearance of Jay & Silent Bob in “Scream 3”. We’d heard about it too, and a source tells us that the deal’s been signed at that it will happen. We have yet to get any verification on this from any of the key players or the studio, though, so consider it a rumor as far as we’re concerned. Of course, now that the cat’s out of the bag on it, though, perhaps things will change. We kinda feel that things like this really should be kept under wraps. With the net these days, though, there’s just not much room left for surprise in films anymore, someone ALWAYS lets stuff slip out. It would have been an amazing surprise to see the duo appear in the flick (Which, by the way, we hope is better than that dismal “Scream 2”), but now it’ll just be more like, “Okay, there’s the Jay & Silent Bob cameo”. Remember how funny it was seeing Robert Patrick pop up in “Wayne’s World” as the T-1000? Not expecting it was part of the fun. Hopefully the producers won’t balk and pull the cameo now that the cat’s outta the bag. Ah well.

Is this the big appearance of Jay & Bob Kevin talked about in his post earlier? We’re not sure. Maybe. He said to expect something in January, and Scream’s due around Christmas. Close though. Another source tells us that friends of his who publish video games have been approached with the possibility of creating a videogame (or CD-ROM of sorts) featuring Jay & Silent Bob. We hear this one’s not true, sorry to say. Perhaps folks are waiting to see how Dogma fares until they go further with Jay & Bob projects.

Whatever the case, we think the guys are hilarious, and it’s great to see that they’ve become such known figures that they’re doing the cameo thing. Good news all around.
