This week Kevin Smith announced that he has finally completed a first draft of the long awaited Clerks III. “IT IS ACCOMPLISHED!” Smith proclaims via Twitter. “First draft of CLERKS III is 137 pages.” I hefty accomplishment. Fans can sit at ease though. It took 12 years between the first and the second film, this one will only take roughly 8. What with the first film being an instant cult classic in it’s nostalgic black and white demeanor, we can only have high hopes for stylization and crack up writing. Smith claims that this film will be the “Empire Strikes Back of the Clerks trilogy.” We can only speculate some crazy comparisons. I’m crossing my fingers that Dante and Randal drive a car named the millennium falcon and have to face some serious enemies in a lightsaber fight. Get Excited.
