Despite having started to pen the script just the night prior, Kevin Smith confirms that a Clerks III film is coming.
The filmmaker took to Instagram to reveal that he’s working on a third installment in the franchise that will, accordion to him, “be a movie that concludes a saga.”
“It’ll be a movie about how you’re never too old to completely change your life,” Smith explained on the ‘gram. “It’ll be a movie about how a decades-spanning friendship finally confronts the future. It’ll be a movie that brings us back to the beginning — a return to the cradle of civilization in the great state of New Jersey. It’ll be a movie that stars Jeff and Brian O’Halloran, with me and [Jason Mewes] in supporting roles. And it’ll be a movie called Clerks III! To be great is to go on. To go on is to go far. To go far is to return. And we’re all gonna return to the scene of the crime! This won’t be the old script we almost made a few years back: this is a completely new screenplay that I just started writing last night!”
The original Clerks came out in 1994 followed by a sequel in 2006.
