Clerks II

Well, he's probably just giving the people what they want. Most people were very sad to hear that there would be no more Jay and Silent Bob. I think a Clerks sequel as a true finale to those two loveable characters is a great way to go, if done correctly.

Though this could be a great way to go, I think Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was the best way to go. It tied together all the four movies and was about the two characters you see in each of them.

But hey, I'm not against the continuing of the Jersey Trilogy movies!

this CANT be the last Jay and Silent bob movie 🙁 that would suck if it is..

I have been a fan of Smith since Clerks, i loved his style and witty writing. Always thought he was a gifted Director and writer. I dont feel this way anymore. Maybe he can convince me otherwise with some more orginal writing and stylized movies, but it doesnt seem this is going to happen. with Clerks having a sequal i have lost nearly all fan love for this cat. He said that jay and silent Bob strike back was to mark the end of the Jersey trilogy movies and characters. It seems now he is just milking his fans to get some more recognition due to his failure of jersey girl, and his dwindeling fan base due to his announcment of upcomming films. I think a sequal to clerks is low, and says that he no longer has idea's. Hopefully i will be proven wrong, but i doubt it.

Smith himself said on his BB that "Jersey Girl" wasn't a failure. It's weekend opening grossed more than the opening weekends of any of his other films. (About 7.5 mil, if I remember correctly. The average amount of money his films had grossed before then in the opening weekend was about 3-3.5 mil. This was in his own words, mind you.) I don't think a sequel to Clerks is low, and I'm about as big a Smith fan as anyone can get. We've been strung along about an animated sequel for about 3 years now, and I think to see him go back to his "roots" with all the things he's had to have learned from experience and a bigger budget will prove to be both quite interesting and something to look forward to.

And milking his fans was making "An Evening With Kevin Smith" and marketing the Jersey Trilogy Box Set Box. The man has no shame, and he's not afraid to admit it.

A Clerks cartoon movie is still going to be made but the sequel is on top of Kevin Smith's to do list.

Anyone else besides me get the Clerks X dvd yet?

I guarantee Smith isn't idiotic enough to stick with the title,"Passion Of The Clerks". It's been done a million times.

Well, do you know the meaning of the title? As Kevin Smith was making the Clerks X DVD, he regained his passion for Clerks, the passion of the Clerks. 😛

WHere u got that from?

Kevin Smith said that on the View Askew messageboard on viewaskew.com.

Kevin Smith's sequel.

Kevin Smith is a genious. My dad's friend knows Jay and Silent Bob. (Kevin Smith) Hopefully, pretty soon, I'll get to meet them. Clerks was the best movie ever.

I heard before about an animated Clerks movie. There was a preview on viewaskew.com (might still be there) of it. Jay is Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader says he's his father and pulls off his mask to reveal he's Silent Bob. Then at RST, Randal asks "If a man offers you the flying car but there's a catch, would you take it." Dante refuses because he won't tell you what the catch is. "But it's the flying car!! Who cares what the catch is!!"

😄 Still there!

The Clerks X DVD has that flying car part in live action. They're stuck in a traffic jam and they're having pretty much the same conversation but more vulgar. 🙂

There's also a cartoon of the scene when Randal knocks the casket over. They originally didn't have the money for the scene so now they just made a cartoon. It's funny.

This needs to be bumped for this:

I think the title The Passion of the Clerks is here to stay

Although a lot could change from now to then. So that isn't saying much.

I agree with you on these parts. Although I don't think making a sequel is low but as soon as a writer starts producing sequels it sort of shows that a writer is losing his idea's, or it could be good and enhance the whole experience.

I don't see why everyone is making a fuss about Jay and Silent Bob in this movie, they weren't that great in clerks apart from having a very funny scene in the beginning, and placing more focus on those two in the sequel doesn't sound like a good idea, since the first one worked so well without too much of them in it. I'm going to see the sequel regardless.

No more Quick Stop or RST Video? 🙁

Apparently, RST and Quick Stop are still in there, however it does not focus on that place for the entire film, obviously.

Doesn't Brian O'Halloran kinda creep anyone out in that picture, or is it just me?

the clerks is a great film i have it in my collection and i hate the fact they are making a new copy they should leave it as it is but I'm a bigger fan of mallrats myself

When this was first announced, I was hoping Clerks 2 would have nothing to do with the other four movies. Now, with Mooby's, we see that isn't happening.

That worried me at first. Then I thought of some possible scenarios. We all know Randal sucks at his job. Maybe the boss came in while Randal was ripping at a customer and gets fired. Then, as Randal does, he drags Dante down with him. So they have to seek other employment... the fast food industry. Just one of the many random ideas that come into my head.
