Rosario Dawson Returns For Clerks III

From Cinema Blend

One of the stranger aspects about sequels is remembering plot points from the original. Some movies are kind enough to have some non-intrusive refresher. Others just take it for granted that you have a razor-sharp memory, and either you’ve recently re-watched the original, or it remains an active memory in your mind, no matter how mundane.

Which is why when we sit you down to tell you that Rosario Dawson was in Clerks II, you rustle in your memory to recall that there was a Clerks II and that it was completely inessential, but Rosario Dawson was totally in it. Now you remember the sober-and-healthy Jason Mewes, you remember the pasty-faced Jeff Anderson, the donkey show… hey, you remember a lot of this movie, don’t you? And just in time for a Clerks III too. Wait, how did that one end? How is there another Clerks?

Speaking to Den of Geek’s U.S. affiliate, Dawson revealed that Kevin Smith has confirmed that she’s in the planned third Clerks, though she knows nothing else, particularly regarding a shooting date. Dawson played Becky in the second film, the love interest of put-upon Dante (Brian O’Halloran), nonetheless way out of his league. Almost everything that Dawson does doesn’t deserve her: it’s not certain how such a talented leading lady has been stuck in such forgettable roles, seducing roly-polys like O’Halloran and Kevin James in the intolerable The Zookeeper.

Kevin Smith Turning "Clerks" Into A Book Series?

From: The Playlist

Decisiveness, it seems, hasn’t been high on Kevin Smith’s New Year agenda. First, the third instalment of his cult franchise, "Clerks," was going to be a feature film, then a 6-monther on Broadway, then - nope, actually – an online serial (all of this following his announced retirement from directing). Now, just as fans thought he couldn’t toy with them any longer, Smith has undertaken one (last?) change of tack: "Clerks" – the book. Kevin Smith isn’t one to be bogged down with industry or even societal conventions – "There is something to be said for productive stoner activities," he remarked during an appearance on the online chat show, "What’s Trending?" on Friday – but his methods have an undeniable knack of getting the job done. His Sundance and Cannes winner, "Clerks," was made for $27,000 and filmed in the same convenience store Smith himself had tended, and subsequent ... READ ARTICLE
