For a time, director Kevin Smith had mulled over the idea of making his third Clerks movie into a Broadway show. Later, he said that Clerks III could still potentially be his final feature film. Now, the filmmaker is considering the idea of making it into a book first.
As Smith revealed to What's Trending, the idea would be to release the book chapter by chapter online, allowing him to reflect on feedback from fans as he's writing it, while also deeply exploring the characters in a much more personal way. For example, Smith said that the first chapter would depict the characters Dante and Randall meeting for the first time in kindergarden.
According to Smith, a movie "would be the ultimate expression of Clerks III. The money will always be there if I do it as a feature, but if I want to get real creative, I'd break it down [into smaller pieces] and do it online."
Of course, a movie would also mean the collaboration of Smith's co-stars Jason Mewes, Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson. Only time will tell if a feature is still in the cards. Check out the interview below for the Clerks III question, roughly 13 minutes in:
In the meantime, Smith and Mewes are scheduled to begin touring their animated film Jay and Silent Bob's Groovy Cartoon Movie this April --much like Smith did with his last movie Red State in 2011.
