After confirming that the majority of
the original cast will reprise their roles in the sequel, writer/director Kevin
Smith announced during his Hollywood Babble-On podcast that due to some mall conflicts,
Mallrats 2 will be his next project, which is bitter-sweet since it means that
Clerks III will once again be delayed.
The director explains his mall
reasons, but he also gives some spoilers away.
We've been putting
together Mallrats 2....It's been a real, like Blues
Brothers 'We're putting the band back together, on a mission from
Smod. So this week, we had a lot of activity behind the scenes as well and it
looks like we might -- it's Mallrats and so we require a big
old empty mall, and it would be nice if we could do things to the mall. So if
you had a mall and the mall was eventually going away, that would let you like
blow the f---ing mall up, which happens in the third act. So we found a
place that we can go to and in order to get to that mall before it goes away,
we were talking about initially shooting Clerks 3 this summer
and then we were going to get to Mallrats in the beginning of
2016. And then it jumped into 2015, where we were going to shoot Clerks and
then hopefully Mallrats before the end of the year. But now,
based on a f---ing mall that we all dig that will be going away, the
priority has become Mallrats. So the next f---ing movie I'm
making is Mallrats 2. No word on Batfleck yet...but it would
be fun to see if we could get him.
As of now
Shanned Doherty, Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Jeremy
London, Renée Humphrey, Joey Lauren Adams, Sven-Ole Thorsen, Scott Mosier, Walt Flanagan, and Bryan
Johnson have all been confirmed to reprise their roles.
