Kevin Smith Announces Clerks III Is Finally Happening
Smith is looking to "conclude a saga" for Dante and Randal.
More than six years since the idea was first teased by Kevin Smith, it looks as if Clerks III is again back on.
Back in early 2013, Smith first talked up a third movie for Brian O’Halloran’s Dante and Jeff Anderson’s Randal – only for the project to not get off the ground. Again, Smith suggested last year that Clerks III was on the way – only for the project to not get off the ground.
Now though, ahead of the release of Jay & Silent Reboot arriving this month, Smith has once more got the wheels in motion for Clerks III.
According to Kevin, it was a recent meeting with Anderson that helped him to decide to make Clerks III a reality.
Clerks is the movie that put Kevin Smith on the movie map, with his 1994 comedy about a day in the life of two store clerks winning a whole host of praise and getting Smith a fan base that are still with him to this day.
After that ’94 movie, fans were soon given Clerks: The Animates Series before eventually getting Clerks II in 2006.
First and foremost for Kev is the small matter of Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, which hits selected screens October 15th.
