Jason Lee and Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith will be re-teaming with Mallrats star Jason Lee once again. According to /Film reader Drake Rivera, Smith announced on Kevin Pollack’s Live Show on Sunday afternoon that Lee would have a role in his new buddy cop comedy A Couple of Dicks.

According to the report, Smith said that Lee would shoot for a couple of days, but didn’t reveal which role the My Name is Earl star would play. Lee has appeared in many of Smith’s films, including Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, as well as cameos in Jersey Girl and Clerks II.

Written by Robb and Marc Cullen, and featured on the 2008 Black List (a Hollywood insider list of the best unproduced screenplays of the year), The film stars Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis as two veteran LAPD detectives who attempt to track down a stolen, mint-condition, 1952 baseball card, get tangled with a sports memorabilia-obsessed gangster, and rescue a Mexican beauty named Gabriela (Ana de la Reguera), who might hold the key to millions in laundered drug money.

Adam Bordy, Sean William Scott and Kevin Pollak also have roles in the film. A Couple of Dicks is tentatively scheduled to hit theaters on February 26th 2010.

    Shocker
  • Oh hell yes! That will help it feel a little closer to home as a Kevin Smith flick. Jason Lee is brilliant -- (I know most will fall back on My Name Is Earl as an example, but he steals the show in Smith's best, Chasing Amy). I just got more impressed and excited for this film.

    I could not agree more.

    Love the Lee.

    He should be Murdoch in the new A-Team film.

    Brodie, man!

    The only thing that can settle this is if Jason, Jennifer, and Ben, have a threeway.

    very cool, lee & smith together are a guaranteed laugh.
  • This could be a funny funny film.

    this makes me more excited for this movie than anything else we've heard so far. i used to get excited for smith's movies -- "zack and miri" fixed that.
  • Awesome. I love the Smith regulars. Let's hope Jay (I can never remember his name) shows up and maybe cameos from Ben Afleck (everyone hates him but he's awesome in Kevin Smith films), Matt Damon, and Ethan Suplee (I think him being a cop and trying to chase someone down would be good for a one-off laugh). I wish George Carlin could still be a Smith regular. He was awesome in Dogma. RIP. :(
  • Is there something I missed? Why is Adam Brody's name always spelt wrong?
  • thank you so much peter for giving me the credit i feel very much accomplished to contribute to the site
  • Hey this is good news. I guess Jason Lee doesn't have much work since My Name is Earl got cancelled. Maybe they should make his role a bigger one since he's got nothing but time now.

    I used to like Jason Lee until I found out he was a Scientologist. I just can't respect that.

    "On the set of Kevin Smith's movie. I was wanking
    in my trailer until some stupid kids ran by and
    pounded on my door. Kids suck."

    Jason Lee is annoying.
