Last month came the official reveal that Kevin Smith’s Clerks III is happening and now the writer/director has confirmed production has begun! Smith took to social media yesterday to confirm that today (Monday, August 2nd) filming will begin on the new movie, a date which has multiple meanings for him. “Today is my last day of being 50. Tomorrow I turn 51 and we start shooting Clerks III,” Smith said in the video. “It’s also another anniversary, tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of the night I see Slacker and decide to become a filmmaker. It’s been an excellent first half-century. Thank you all.” Check it out below!
Grateful Undead: Today is my last day of being a 50 year old. I turn 51 tomorrow as we start shooting CLERKS III - a sequel to a movie I dreamed about making 30 years ago, when I saw Richard Linklater’s masterpiece SLACKER for the first time on the night on my 21st birthday. ❤️🎥 pic.twitter.com/Cb81ohmksN
