Kevin Smith just posted a update to his Facebook concerning Mallrats casting. If you have lived under a rock for the past 20 years Mallrats is the story of Brodie Bruce, a Sega and comic book obsessed college student, and his best friend, TS Quint, are both dumped by their girlfriends on the same day, and to deal with their loss, they both go to the local mall. Along the way, they meet up with some friends, including Willam, a guy who stares at Magic Eye pictures, desprately trying to see the hidden image; Gwen, one of TS's ex-girlfriends; and Jay & Silent Bob, of Clerks fame. Eventually, they decide to try and win back their significant others, and take care of their respective nemesises (TS's girlfriend's father, and a store clerk who hates the two for not having any shopping agenda).
From Kevin Smith's Facebook:
On the new Hollywood Babble On , Shannen Doherty says she's going back to the Mall, ya'll! This is special to me because it was Shando herself who single-handedly got MALLRATS the green-light back in '95! So Rene returns, as the RATS roll call continues! 5 down and 7 to go! Collect 'em all! #MR2
Prior to this announcement Smith posted a photo of himself, Jason Mewes, Stan Lee and Michael Rooker. As the post suggest they all will be returning for the sequel. The rest of the cast has yet to be announced, but should include Jason Lee, Jeremy London, Clair Forlani, Joey Lauren Adams and Renee Humphrey (Maybe/hopefully Ben Affleck).
