Clerks have evolved but haven’t matured from a black and white independent film made on a pitiful $27,575 budget (and it shows) to a cult classic whose characters have their faces on (cough cough) “water pipes.” Clerks III will soon grace screens with its brilliant, witty, conversational comedy focused on the lower middle-class life, over thirty years after the groundbreaking movie Clerks was written by God herself and given to the best director in the world. This movie might be where the boys finally accomplish their lofty goals after being unable to make their ambitious plans come true for so long.
Clerks III Release date
The conclusion of the Clerks trilogy won’t be delayed for long, disappointing fans of the series. The third installment of Clerks, directed by Kevin Smith, will be released on September 13, 2022.
The cast of Clerks III
Ladies and gentlemen, Silent Bob and Jay, are in the house! Without Silent Bob, played by writer-director Kevin Smith, and his slick-talking platonic life partner Jay (Jason Mewes), there wouldn’t be a Clerks movie. The actors from the movies themselves, Jeff Anderson, who viewers recognize as the obnoxious movie guru Randall, and Brian O’Halloran, who is recognized as Dante in the Smith-verse but isn’t even meant to be in the present day, are both making a comeback. The bespectacled, boyfriend-stealing, down-to-earth cool girl Becky Scott, who previously managed the neighborhood Mooby’s fast food store, will be played by Rosario Dawson, who joined the Clerks cast in Clerks II. The youthful, devout Lord of the Rings enthusiast Elias (Trevor Fehrman) seemed to have emulated his more experienced, hipper older brother.
The plot of Clerks III
The third installment of Clerks will be the most meta thing ever appearing in Kevin Smith’s universe. Yes, this is more meta than when characters from Chasing Amy claimed that Chasing Amy could never be a movie after watching Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
After throwing Dante his bachelor party, the pair returned to their old employment at the Quick Stop, singing while smoking and chewing gum because, as the saying goes, “Boys, it’s necessary to have a job that matters.” Randall resolves to quit wasting his time watching movies and start making one after nearly escaping a heart attack (much like Smith himself). Randall’s first movie is about him working at the Quik-e-Stop with his closest friend Dante. Jay and Silent Bob, who he compares to C-3PO and R2-D2, who he describes as the C-3PO and R2-D2 of their lives at the corner store, are played by actors in the movie. We also find it hard to believe Judi Dench played Dante!
Other details:
The movie will follow the group of pals as they produce the movie of a lifetime and experience all the stoned mayhem that goes along with a View Askewniverse production. There will be plenty of nods to the first two films in Clerks III, like Chewlie’s gum, rooftop hockey, the “I assure you” sign, and the notice on their register asking you to let them know if you plan to shoplift. Even the original Dante’s death scene from the first Clerks movie, which was ultimately removed because Smith said he didn’t know how to conclude a movie, is referenced. Additionally, it appears that Smith will make fun of himself and the personas he has created over the years as part of the stoner humor.
