- We love it when the flicks get early press, and it seems like Kevin’s recent trips onstage have gotten the word out about Clerks 2, before filming’s even started. Here’s 2 pieces from the weekend:
“…None of the female characters from Kevin Smith’s 1994 breakthrough, “Clerks,” will be returning in the soon-to-lens sequel, “Clerks 2: The Passion of the Clerks,” according to the writer/director.
“It’s about two guys,” Smith said, referring to the Dante and Randal characters played by returnees Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson, respectively. Smith said he and Jason Mewes also will return as Silent Bob and Jay.
“It’s not a parade of weird characters,” Smith said of the script. “It’s a small cast. It’s very much a “chamber piece.’
Cinematical – “Smith Released? Searchlight in on Clerks 2?”“…Smith’s producer Scott Moiser, executive Jon Gordon, and his agent are all leaning towards an okay on moving Clerks 2 back so that Smith could take the role [in “Catch and Release”].
In other news, it seems that Fox Searchlight might be coming in with the new Weinstein Company on Clerks 2, in order to handle the foreign side. Harvey and Searchlight previously worked together on Garden State.
