A "Clerks" Sequel!

This kind of took my by surprise, but a heads-up goes to my old roommate John in Dell Rapids who found this article on CNN.com.

I'm a huge fan of the Kevin Smith films, and his first movie, "Clerks," was shot only on a $27,000 budget. It's black and white, of course, but the constant dialogue and small plots throughout the movie made the movie what it was. Dante and Randal -- coming back!

The storyline of "Clerks" carried over into his next two movies, "Mallrats" and "Chasing Amy," with "Dogma" in between (with familiar characters, Jay and Silent Bob) and Smith wrapped everything up with "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," noting that "Jay and Silent Bob have left the building" at the end of the movie's credits.

The new sequel will be named, "The Passion of the Clerks," in which we find out what exactly happened to Dante and Randal ten years later. Will they be working at the Quick Stop and RST Video, respectively? Jay and Silent Bob will also make appearances.

Filming starts in January.
