Kevin Smith has taken to Facebook to announce that production on Clerks III is set for this Spring, with cameras set to roll on the sequel to the 1994 cult classic and its 2006 follow-up in May. Smith also went on to outline his schedule for the next year, as well as hinting at a potential sequel to his sophomore film Mallrats. The sequel was titled Mall Rats: Die Hard in a Mall, but Smith has not confirmed if that will continue to be the title.
“Saw some websites are reporting CLERKS III will be my last flick. I did say this at one point, but Tusk changed all that. Now, the next 2 years are booked. We shoot CLERKS III in May. The HIT SOMEBODY hockey miniseries finally follows in the fall, shooting September to Christmas 2015. Then in Feb/March 2016, we tackle MOOSE JAWS and ANTI-CLAUS. And after that? I smell a rat…”
The Mallrats sequel was confirmed in a phone interview Kevin Smith was doing for the upcoming Clerks 3. Smith says there is half a script right now and shooting will begin, hopefully, in May 2016. To hear the interview and Kevin confirm the project check out the audio below.
