The lovable duo Jay & Silent Bob will return in a brand new movie that Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes are shooting later this year, and Smith has taken to Instagram this afternoon to share a prop that he had whipped up for the production. It’s titled the “NecroBobicon,” a take on the classic Necronomicon from The Evil Dead that looks to be made out of Silent Bob’s face.
Smith jokes in his Instagram post, “Behold the NecronomiKev – The Book of the Dead Film Careers! Kidding (kinda). It’s actually called The NecroBobicon!”
What’s particularly cool about this prop that will be featured in the next Jay & Silent Bob movie is that it was created by Night of the Living Nick Studios, which is run by a graduate of Tom Savini’s makeup effects school. Night of the Living Nick also worked on Terrifier 3!
“I commissioned @nightofthelivingnick (graduate of the @thetomsavini School) to unearth this ancient, evil tome that features in the new @jayandsilentbob flick @jaymewes and I start shooting later this year,” Smith explains. “The NecroBobicon doesn’t swallow your soul – but legend has it that misuse of the book will leave the reader forever silent…”
We can’t tell if Smith is referring to Twilight of the Mallrats or a Jay & Silent Bob movie that hasn’t been announced yet, but keep your eyes locked on his social accounts for updates.
