So, CNN reports that Kevin Smith is going into production on Clerks 2
Love him, hate him. He makes good movies. I admit I have yet to see Chasing Amy or Jersey Girl.
Sayeth CNN:
The sequel picks up 10 years later.
“It’s about what happens when that lazy, 20-something malaise lasts into your 30s. Those dudes are kind of still mired, not in that same exact situation, but in a place where it’s time to actually grow up and do something more than just sit around and dissect pop culture and talk about sex,” Smith said during an interview at his Hollywood office. “It’s: What happened to these dudes?”
Personally, I’m concerned with Jason Mewes. The last I’d heard (I’ll try to find a link) he’s basically needed to utterly eschew Jay to help clean up his life. I need to find reference on that. If anyone has a link, please tell me. But Smith is really positive about the film and comments in the viewaskew forum that this is a Dante and Randall film with a small appearance by Jay & Silent Bob. No cameos, no stars.
So, is it time for a sequel in the Askewniverse? I guess we are left with the phrase, “Trust in Smith” I guess we’ll know within 18 months.
