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 killer prop 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.
“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.
