Your Turn For Clerks 2, East-Coasters!

  • More east coast love for ya’ll – Never say Kevin forgot about us folks here on the colder side of the country! Clerks 2 will yet again screen JUST FOR YOU, THE FANS in February, with a brand new, never-before-seen tight 92 minute cut. This cut was carefully crated based on results from the screening that we attended in Los Angeles. We’re hoping to make it up to NYC for this one, to take a look at what’s changed. So, what do you say? You wanna see Clerks 2 next month in New York City? Here’s Kevin:
So here’s the deal: we’ve got the cut down to 92 minutes, and I want to get the flick in front of an audience on the EAST COAST, to see how it plays. So I’m looking for SIXTY folks to come watch the flick with us in NYC between Monday, Feb. 20th and Thursday, Feb. 23rd (we’ll be locking into the exact date over the next week or so).

Same deal as last time: we’ll be renting out a small theater and throwing up a DigiBeta-projected version of the current cut of “Clerks 2″. There may be cards to fill out this time, but I’ll also be doing a focus group immediately after the screening again, so be prepared to talk about the movie honestly.

Below is a sign-up list. I don’t want this thread filled with “I wish I could go” posts. If you can’t go, don’t post about it here. You don’t have to be from the east coast (indeed, at the last screening, we had folks flying to L.A. from the east coast), but since we’re screening it there, it’d be helpful. However, you’ll notice the close proximity of these proposed screening dates to the NY ComiCon, so if you’re from other parts of the country – or the world – and you were gonna make the trip out for that con anyway, by leaving a few days earlier, you may be able to peep “Clerks 2″ way early as well.

I’m gonna be hand-picking the SIXTY myself. Attendance is gonna be based on how long you’ve been posting, what kind of postings you make, and ultimately, how trustworthy I think you are. Anyone attending will be signing a non-disclosure agreement; you’ll be expected (and legally-bound) to keep all the details of the flick under your hat (or you can be just as awesome as the last group who watched the flick, and keep the details of the flick to yourself simply because you don’t wanna spoil the movie for those who haven’t seen it yet; you’ll note that not a single “scoop” or early review has appeared anywhere online).

So let me hear it below: why do you think you should be in the audience for this first look at “Clerks 2″?

Sign up NOT here in our talkbacks, but over at the View Askew Board for your chance to be one of the chosen few. If it’s anything like the last time, you DON’T want to miss this chance. You’re seeing the film before most everyone, at least 6 months early. Plus, Kevin’s focus group and Q&A after the flick in L.A. ran for around 4 hours — A true treat for the small group of us in attendance. Good luck, and we hope to see you there!
