I cannot—nor do I want to—hide that I have been waiting for this moment since Kevin Smith announced his intention to shape a trilogy It’s been a whopping decade, so you’ll forgive me for possibly over-enthusiasm, because today, 16 years after the fantastic second installment in the saga hit our theaters, we can finally get a glimpse of the trailer from ‘Clerks III’.
I assure you that we are open
For someone who grew up in front of the television watching Smith’s early filmography and immersed in his View Askewniverse, the couple of minutes that the trailer lasts has translated into a slap of nostalgia That has left me with a huge smile on my face. And it is a great pleasure to see reunited again Jeff Anderson, Brian O’Halloran and company in a feature film that promises to be very special.
This feeling, in addition to the target component that has been injected into its premise, comes from the character autobiographical of it and its relationship with the heart attack that Kevin Smith suffered in 2018. In the film, Randall suffers a heart attack and decides to stop watching movies to get down to work and shoot his own, based, of course, it could be otherwise, in his experience behind the RST counter and in Dante’s behind the Quick Stop counter.
In addition to a parade of familiar faces that includes names such as those of Rosario Dawson, Marilyn Ghigliotti or Trevor Fehrman —Ben Affleck’s cameo included—, ‘Clerks III’ promises a good handful of past thread jokes and that immense heart that the original film and its sequel treasure.
To be able to enjoy ‘Clerks III’ we will have to wait, at least, for this autumn, When will it be released in the US? In Spain, for the moment, there is no official dateso it only remains to hope that it does not end up buried in the catalog of some streaming platform.
