Kevin Smith STILL Wants Animated Clerks Sequel
Filed under: Comedy », Fandom », Scripts », Movie Marketing », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Remakes and Sequels »
Yes, it is true, Kevin Smith has not yet abandoned hope for the incredibly long-rumored animated sequel to his first cult hit, Clerks. He brought it up again during a Q and A appearance at this year's Wizard World in Philadelphia. You can read a rather verbose review of the whole session here, and it is typically amusing Smith style. He even insists this is his favorite, best movie ever (something he tends to insist about each new film ... which is probably a good thing). The most interesting bit in my opinion, however, was his announcement of a direct-to-DVD animated series for Clerks called Clerks: Sell Out, in which Dante and Randall make a movie about working in the Quick Stop. And he further admitted in all candor not to expect the film immediately, as he has a penchant for announcing projects well, well in advance of their release.I'll openly admit to enjoying Kevin Smith. I don't think his work is necessarily great cinema, but I do think it tends to be flat out enjoyable; and the latter is a real selling point for me when it comes to my movie going experience. Additionally, I absolutely adore the sadly short-lived Clerks cartoon series, which contains more humor in six episodes than most TV series do in several seasons. I'm ecstatic at the thought of more animated Clerks. Fanboy ... well, yes. I understand people who don't like Kevin Smith, and I understand (and occasionally agree with) their criticisms. But when it comes right down to it, View Askew makes me smile.

Rumors and unfinished projects follow Kevin Smith like
children followed the Pied Piper of Hamlin. For View Askew fans this can be rather annoying, as they build their
excitement for a project only to find that it has been moved, delayed, or utterly abandoned. Not surprisingly, rumors
of a Clerks sequel (a direct Clerks sequel
focusing around Dante and Randall, that is) have been floating around for nearly as long as Smith has been making films
- and fans of the Askewniverse will probably remember that at one point, these rumors insisted that Clerks 2 was going to be an animated feature in the vein of
the sadly failed Clerks cartoon. Of course, we all
know now what the real Clerks 2 will be; but have hopes for an animated Clerks feature died now that
a live action sequel is on its way? Perhaps not, according to the man himself.In a recent panel at Wizard World LA, Smith was asked about his future plans for the Askewniverse. He replied that he may be interested in putting together a direct-to-DVD Clerks animated feature called "Clerks: Sell Out" in which Dante and Randall leave their jobs to make a movie about working in a convenience store. According to Smith, Weinstein's reaction to this idea was, "You’ve just run out of ideas, haven’t you?” Now keep in mind this is coming from Kevin Smith, who always has a million great ideas for every one that actually manifests. But still - I'd love to see something new in the vein of the Clerks cartoon. Oh, and head on over to CBR for plenty more great tidbits from the Smith panel.
