- Kevin’s been very good at keeping us updated on the latest with Clerks 2. This most recent update from him just gets loyal fans like us
more excited. It sounds like this one’s going to be a masterpiece. Here’s the latest:
flick reads great. When Brian and Jeff got going in their back-and-forth, I got all sorts of non-sexual hard. Fuck, this is a funny flick, and those guys
are in top shape.
Afterwards, me, Mos, Phil Benson, Jeff, Brian and Trevor did oral notes on the script, voting for cuts in the stuff that just lays there, suggesting
tightening in some scenes, rearrangement in others. We were a story-telling collective, all working toward making something that already feels hillarious
and special even moreso. I’m guessing the current 119 Second Draft of the script will go down by another five to ten pages in Draft Three.
I can’t describe how fulfilling it is to hear the script performed and to watch Brian and Jeff bounce off one another. And Mewes? Top form. Tip-top form.
Wish I could bust with some of the best lines here, but don’t wanna be a spoiler. I want you guys to go into this flick virgins, and leave debauched.
Kevin’s also quoted as saying “This is about as far from an old-lady-friendly film as it gets.”, so we’re assuming this will go WELL beyond the limits that
garnered the original Clerks that NC-17 rating. It’ll be interesting to see how the MPAA takes this one (but then again, what’s a Kevin Smith film
WITHOUT controversy?) Of course, stick here for the latest news on Clerks 2. We’ll have a bunch in the coming months.
