Stand down interwebs, apparently Kevin Smith is not retiring after making Clerks III (despite his thoughts last month). The writer/director/geek announced on a series of social media posts, collected on Crave’s ComingSoon.net, that he isn’t leaving film … he’s just leaving anyone else’s movies. In his words:
“My films are in my blood.”
“Like ’em or hate ’em, nobody else but me could’ve (or would’ve) ever made ‘Clerks’. Or ‘Chasing Amy’. Or ‘Dogma’. Or ‘Red State’. Or ‘Clerks II’. Or ‘Mallrats’. Or ‘Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back’. I let my view askew get standardized for awhile there – so much so that I was happy to walk away from it all for three years and do other s–t.”
If you can’t get enough Kevin Smith, Clerks III is expected to start shooting in May.
