- Big, WONDERFUL news from Kevin today — Clerks II has been accepted for out of competition screening at Cannes this year. Fantastic news, and a true honor that the festival folks enjoyed the flick enough to invite Kevin back with this one. So yeah, this is BIG news – Clerks II is now an Official Selection for Cannes! Here’s Kevin with the announcement and some thoughts:
Needless to say, this is pretty huge for us – and somewhat poetic, as “Clerksâ€, also, went to Cannes in ‘94 (and “Dogma†in ‘99).
So I say…
YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Naturally, I’ll be over there for our screening. Gonna actually try to get over even earlier, so I can attend the “Southland Tales†premiere as well.
Sweet, sweet fucking news.
We’re a midnight screening, though. Most midnight screenings are shown in the Debussy Theater (in the Palais, the same complex as the Lumiere; where, incidentally, “Dogma†screened back in ‘99).
Interestingly enough, the Debussy doesn’t have a Red Carpet; they have a Blue Carpet. Fitting, considering the flick.
The way I see it, Cannes is Cannes. I’m just happy they dug the film enough to invite it to the fest.
More news later! Cannes runs from May 17th to May 27th, so Vulgarthon East attendees will have the chance to hear all about it just days after Kevin returns.
