“#Clerks 3 Script<\/a> Pages Revealed by Kevin Smith \u2013 \/Film<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Kevin Smith<\/strong> has been working on some version of\u00a0Clerks III<\/em><\/strong> since at least 2017, and now it looks like he\u2019s finished the first draft. To be clear: this is a\u00a0new<\/em> first draft because back in 2017, the filmmaker said he had already finished a different script for the film. Smith took to Instagram to post a snippet of the new script\u2019s first page, and while it really doesn\u2019t tell us much, it\u2019s bound to interest fans.<\/p>\n

Behold, part of the first page of the\u00a0Clerks III<\/em> script!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The page cuts off before we get anywhere, really, but at least we now know that main character Dante is back, he\u2019s headed to the Quick Stop, and I guess he\u2019s also listening to My Chemical Romance? Anyway, there you have it. As you may recall,\u00a0Clerks II<\/em> ended with Dante and his side-kick Randal purchasing the Quick Stop, the store we first met them at in the first\u00a0Clerks<\/em>.\u00a0Clerks II<\/em> opened with the Quick Stop burning down, leading Dante and Randall to take gigs at the fast-food joint Mooby\u2019s. At some point during Clerks II<\/em>, the Quick Stop (and its neighboring store\u00a0RST Video) were rebuilt, allowing Dante and Randal to return in the final moments.<\/p>\n

The new script page came with the following message<\/a> from Smith:<\/p>\n

I started writing CLERKS III on December 28th and just finished the 101 page first draft last night! But the writing doesn\u2019t begin when you start tapping the keys: I\u2019ve been stirring this stew in my brain pan for awhile now. So when I sat down to put years of daydreaming into actual words, the typing part of the writing process was pretty brisk. Fake New Jersey (or what I\u2019ve long called the View Askewniverse) has been so much more preferable to visit than the real world lately \u2013 but I\u2019ve told the tale I wanted to tell, so it\u2019s time to step back, hand the script off to a trusted few, and then tinker further based on the feedback. For those keeping score anymore, this is actually Clerks III v.2. I had written a different version of Clerks III about 6 years back \u2013 one which I\u2019m now very happy we never made (although I used the opening scene for @jayandsilentbob Reboot). This is a much more personal story than the previous incarnation, drawing directly on the heart attack that nearly killed me (3 years ago next month). It was oddly triggering writing those scenes, as it was the first time in awhile I contemplated how close I came to shuffling lose this mortal coil. But far more than make me mindful of my own mortality, this script to Clerks III makes me laugh out loud. Dante, Randal, Elias, Becky, Jay and Silent Bob are all back, and the premise of the flick allows anyone who was in Clerks or Clerks II to return in some capacity. After a bummer of a 2020, this is how I want to spend some of 2021: at @quickstopgroceries in New Jersey where it all began, with friends and family. And when we finally roll cameras on Clerks III, I will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that I *am* supposed to be there that day!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As Smith notes, this isn\u2019t the first time he\u2019s attempted to write\u00a0Clerks III<\/em>. Back in 2017, the filmmaker said he had a script for a third film ready to go. However, the entire project fell apart when\u00a0Jeff Anderson<\/strong>, the actor who plays Randal, declined to return. By 2019, however, Anderson was back on board, and the sequel was back on track, with Smith saying<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019ll be a movie that concludes a saga. It\u2019ll be a movie about how you\u2019re never too old to completely change your life. It\u2019ll be a movie about how a decades-spanning friendship finally confronts the future.\u201d
\nBack in the days of my wild youth, Kevin Smith\u2019s movies<\/a> were a big deal. I loved pretty much everything he did, from\u00a0Clerks<\/em> through even\u00a0Clerks II<\/em>. However, the older I got, the less enamored I became with Smith\u2019s work. In short, it aged poorly for me, and I\u2019ve never felt much urge to revisit any of it. But Smith has a loyal fanbase and I\u2019m sure plenty of those folks are itching to return to this world and these characters, so all of this will no doubt be good news<\/a> for them.<\/p>\n
