'Clerks 3': Kevin Smith Says Final Film Will Be Third 'Clerks' Adventure


		Kevin Smith's final film as a director is going to take him back to the start. Smith announced on Twitter that "Clerks 3" will be his last feature, just as long as original star Jeff Anderson signs a deal to co-star. Smith had originally planned to retire from directing with the two-part hockey epic "Hit Somebody," but earlier this week he revealed that film would become a miniseries. (As yet, no network has signed on to produce.) KevinSmith @ThatKevinSmith KevinSmith So with the HIT SOMEBODY shift, the minute Jeff Anderson signs on, my last cinematic effort as a writer/director will be CLERKS III. #TaDa December 7, 2012 6:01 pm via web Reply Retweet Favorite As Slashfilm noted, Smith has been talking about a potential "Clerks 3" (or "Clerks III" if you're feeling roman numeral-y) since 2010. In an interview with the Boston Phoenix, Smith teased the plot of "Clerks 3": “'Red State' is done. Next step is the hockey movie, 'Hit Somebody.' Then I’m done. There’s possibly a 'Clerks 3.; If I have something to say in my late 40s about being in my late 40s, I’ll think of ['Clerks'] Dante and Randal. Shy of that, I don’t have any more movies I want to make.” Of course, whether Anderson signs on remains to be seen. During press rounds for "Clerks II," Anderson expressed doubt about ever wanting return to the iconic character he made famous. 'I don't think I want to see these guys back in a live action; 'Clerks II' is a nice book-end to 'Clerks.' It's a movie that stands on its own, I love the way it ends, back where they were. And it ends with Kevin's mom, doing the exact same part that she did. It ends with a Soul Asylum song; they were on the original soundtrack and the song fits so well," he said to Movieweb. "I don't think you go back to it and mess with it again. I'm a fan of this and I like the way this turned out; it's just time for me to turn away."

Clerks and Clerks 2 are classics

12-09-2012, 12:02 AM

I think as an achievement in film, Clerks is a classic - even though I don't necessarily find it THAT entertaining (a bit overrated my book). And Clerks 2 was !!ing trash.

12-09-2012, 12:16 AM

Damn, some of y'all don't !! with the Clerks movies? I thought they were hilarious.

If you don't at least respect "Clerks" I can't respect your acumen on film..

Clerks helped changed the way the dialogue is written in films..

The writing is so real. So true to life. It wasn't like that before that

Game changing dialogue right there

In terms of how dialogue is written in films, the gods are

John Hughes
Kevin Smith
Quentin Tarantino
