Film: Clerks 2: The Passion of the Clerks
ok so there is no release daate on the movie yet, so what!
they still dont like you. in fact, they like you even less.
the sequel to clerks, ten years later and picking up where randel and dante are now... and of course how jaded and horrible stuck they still are.
so someone here has to be a kevin smith fan... there must be some people let after godawful jersey girl.
pehaps it is revival time for smith. i am keeping hopeful and since i got to see some of the filming i am posting this to get other people informed and excited.
yay quickstop! and scary middletown clown! yay mews not in jail for herion! and tubby back for two lines!
the movie moves on from the orginal store to mooby's (burger joint shot in cali, i think) where dante and randel now work. dante is married?! and they are discontent mid thirtysomething guys who think that perhaps it is time to put away the laziness, talking about porn/girls/sex/fucking, and their eternal malcontent for just a little while to grow up and see what the world perhaps has to offer. oh, and jay and silent bob hang out out front, didnt see that one coming, did you?
the film is shot in both black/white and color, i would persume quickstop flashbacks and so on in b/w and mooby's in its brighter than noontime garish glory. and yes, even though all over the web there are rumors of cover ups, tricks and fake leads and so on about shooting or not shooting at the old quickstop and rst video... it is true they did shoot there, i can say that for an absolute fact. if it makes it into the movie or not is a whole other story. smith cut out an entire large and expensive bennifer wedding scene in jersey girl at the last minute... so who knows anymore.
kevin smith, it better be good. seriously. people are losing faith here, bud.
We wrapped production on Friday, 11/18/05 at about 11:30 at night. The shoot really couldn’t have gone any better. Hands down, my favorite shoot of all seven. And based on the hour and fifteen minutes I’ve already cut together, it’s also - hands down - my favorite flick I’ve ever made. It knocked “Amy” out of my top-spot.
