: : If it's the Ultimate Jersy Flick like it seems to have been rumored, and all past charactors return or something, how are we going to see Lee as both Banky and Brodie, or Affleck as Holden and Shannon, or ever O'Holloren *sp?, as every cousin hicks imaginable.
: ... which it's not... I'd have Brodie or Banky be a major character and the other either make a quick cameo or not appear at all. The same with Holden and Shannon. As to the Hicks cousins, well, I think I'd just write in Dante and allude to the others.
: Mind you, I know it'd make a lot of fanboys here shoot a big fucking wad in their pants, but I don't really want the physical similarity of all these characters made an issue of. It seems overly cute for a Kevin Smith movie.
: But, as to the facts...
: 1) Kevin called it "something like" the earlier discussed "Ultimate Jersey Flick". I think the original "Ultimate Jersey Flick" idea was to cram every motherfucker from the movies in. The subtle difference he implies by calling it something like it, instead of it itself, could very well be that it includes characters from different films, but doesn't go out of its way to include everyone.
: 2) Even if he does cram every possible character in, doesn't mean that they're going to play prominently, or that every one will end up meeting up with one another.
: There are a number of possibilities here.
