  • In a new interview with Dark Horizons, Rosario Dawson talks up her new film “Rent”, but ALSO briefly mentions her role in Clerks 2, which is something we don’t think has been revealed before. Minor spoiler regarding that role ahead:
“I just finished working on The Passion of the Clerks, which is Kevin Smith’s sequel to Clerks that he did 10 years ago, playing the manager of Mooby’s. It’s really quite funny and probably going to be a different kind of press situation after this, talking about it.”
  • Casino Askew cooless ahead! We don’t have any photos yet, but check out this entry from the latest issue of Previews:

Looks like we’ll be seeing the playing cards featured on Kevin’s exclusive Texas Hold’Em table in our own home games soon, huh? Details when we have them, though we assume they’ll be shipping sometime in December.

Clerks 2 Videos Resume!

  • You’ve been patiently waiting, reloading the clerks2.com site multiple times a day, and now, the time has come. Two new videos hit the site today in the always fun and exciting “Train Wreck” documentary series. Available in various forms of Quicktime, of course.

“Lights… Camera… Tongue!”

“You Were The Bomb In Phantoms, Yo”

Even though it’s on the site second, we recommend you watch “Lights, Camera, Tongue”: first, as its contents also appear in the second and top posting for today. It’s an extended conversation between husband and wife, those two being Kevin and Jennifer Smith, on a smooching scene of hers that appears in the film. Let it be known: This clip, as well as our second clip today, also feature the first filmed footage from Clerks 2 to see the light of web day thus far. The “replay” moment in this clip is also possibly the funniest thing we’ve seen out of this series yet. Watch for it.

Ever wonder what it’d be like to be a fly on the wall when Kevin and Ben chat it up? Wonder no more. “You Were The Bomb In Phantoms, Yo” is just that – Several minutes of Ben pontificating on his Clerks 2 cameo, facial hair, and yes, “Crossing Jordan”.

Enjoy these and all videos thus far in the series at Clerks2.com. You can also view a one page archive on our Clerks 2 production site.
