Twilight of the Mallratsis going to feature a very familiar cast. Kevin Smith just gave an update about the sequel, noting that everybody from the poster will be making an appearance. Stan Lee is featured on the original 1995 poster, but he sadly passed away in 2018. However, there will more than likely be more than a few tributes to the Marvel Comics maestro when Smith gets done with the story.
Kevin Smithhad already announced that Jason Lee, Shannen Doherty, Michael Rooker, Ethan Suplee, Ben Affleck, and more were going to return forMallrats 2: Twilight of the Mallrats. However, it appears that Jeremy London and Claire Forlani will also be on board for the highly anticipated sequel, though Smith has not mentioned them by name yet. But, this would count as all of the characters on the poster, including Sven-Ole Thorsen who is returning as LaFours, along with Smith and Jason Mewes. Smith had this to say.
“Twilight of the Mallratsmore closely resembles what the world knowsMallratsto be, a day in the life of this shopping center. So the whole movie is setagainst the backdrop of this dying behemoththat only Brodie (Jason Lee) wants to save, and everybody who is on the poster comes back… I wrote everybody (in).”
We’ve known aboutJason Lee’s Brodie wanting to save the mallfor some time now. However, it’s unclear how this will go down. Originally,Twilight of the Mallratswas going to have someDie Hardelements, but Kevin Smith went back to the drawing board for the new script, which might be kind of a bummer for some fans who were looking forward to some Bruce Willis action. Smith went on to speak more about the sequel. you’re able to read what he had to say below.
“It’s very in keeping with what I do and at the same time it’s very current as well… We saw Jay and his daughter galivanting in that movie and inTwilight of the Mallrats,Brodie’s daughteris a big factor, Banner. So it’s a multi-generational tale, but it turned out wonderful.”
Twilight of the Mallratsis coming along while Kevin Smith spends his time indoors. The director/writer has encouraged fans to tap into their own creative energy during this time to help stay positive, noting that it has helped him out quite a bit over the past handful of weeks. With that being said, Smith is constantly busy on all types of projects, so one would imagine that this isn’t too different from normal for him, other than the whole not going outside aspect of all of this.
It’s unclear at this point whenMallrats 2: Twilight of the Mallratswill be able to begin production, which means there is no release date on tap either. Whatever the case may be, it sounds like Kevin Smith has all of his ducks in a row for when the sequel will finally be able to start shooting. Until then, we’ll have to wait for the director to give us the update. The interview with Smith was originally conducted byIMDb.
