Clerks III (2022)

Trivia: Similar to his film "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot," rather than a traditional theatrical release, the movie will instead be toured around as a roadshow, with screenings in select cities before a DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital release later on.

Clerks III (2022)

Trivia: The script was inspired by two things: an unproduced animated movie called "Clerks: Sellout," which would have been about Dante and Randall making a movie, and writer/director Kevin Smith's own experience with a heart-attack, which made him re-evaluate his life.

Clerks III (2022)

Trivia: The original script was very different, and much more downbeat. It would have focused on Randal spiraling into depression after Hurricane Sandy destroyed the Quick Stop and much of the town. A sort-of shantytown village is started in the parking lot of a movie theater by displaced locals, where Randall would make a new makeshift Quick Stop. Smith described it as a movie about dealing with grief. Kevin Smith ended up re-writing it into a more hopeful, upbeat film a few years later.
