Kevin Smith's Clerks 2

[Eliseo]

Bueno, según lo dice en esta entrevista a Associated Press:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s ... rks_sequel

Que según ahora que estuvo trabajando en el DVD de Clerks X le surgió la idea de ver que es lo que pasa con estos personajes 10 años después. Van a aparecer todos los originales incluyendo por supuesto a Jay y Silent Bob.

Me llama la atención, aunque si siento que KS lo hace solamente como para limpiar su imagen con sus fans, ya que según cuentan (no la he visto aún) Jersey Girl se sale bastante de su estilo y fue un descalabro.

A ver si luego hay más noticias porque no hay nada en su página oficial.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm por hocicon

el dijo que la jay y silent bob ya NUNCA iban a volver a salir, jay & silent bob strikes back era el final del capitulo....

podero$o caballero es don dinero

ta como el otro zonzo que se la paso toda su vida haciendo puro star wars...

[Vicco]

Hmmm pues que chafa, también pensé inmediatamente en que ya había dicho que Jay & Silent Bob se iban a descansar... y luego pensé en lo que dice Eliseo... que probablemente se quiera sacar la espina de Jersey Girl... pero bueno, Clerks es una de mis películas favoritas y espero que la secuela sea buena, al menos todos los personajes principales regresarían y el trabajo estaría bien hecho (la serie animada es hilarante, hehehe). Ya veremos que tal le va.

Unas cuantas respuesta de Smith en su sitio. El titulo parece ser The Passion of the Clerks, que no me gusta, preferiría algo más original, que aunque Smith dice que esta justificado por el script, pues a mi se me hace que e quiere enganchar del éxito de la película de Mel Gibson. Por cierto, también chequen que hará otra película de Clerks, ¡pero en Cartoon!

- This isn't gonna be a cameo-heavy affair, a'la "Strike Back." The only returning characters are Dante and Randal, and Jay and Silent Bob.

- This isn't gonna be a star-studded affair. The biggest names in the cast are gonna be Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, and Jason Mewes.

- This isn't an "I'm not even supposed to be here today... AGAIN!"-heavy, wink-wink affair. We barely refer to the first flick (though I do love Lynch's proposed tagline of "They Still Don't Like You"; considering the tone of the script, an even more appropriate tagline would be "They Like You Even Less").

- Jay and Silent Bob have about as much screen time as they had in "Clerks." This is Dante and Randal's flick all the way.

- The title makes sense. Sure, there's a bit of cheekiness in there, but it's pretty appropriate, based on the material.

- This is the funniest thing I've ever written. It's also really poignant.

- We'll still be making a "Clerks" cartoon movie, separate of this.

- This is not a grab at the green. Saying so is kinda laughable, if you're privy to what I make per film now, vs. what I'll make for this film. Part of the idea about doing "Passion" is to strip away the trappings of success we've been enjoying for the last few years, in an effort to get to the raw and pure. None of us are making our usual salaries on this flick; we're all doing it favored-nations style, with deferments. If the flick does well, we'll get paid our full-freight on the back-end. If not, we did it for the love. But if I was "all about the green", I'd be gearing up for "Hornet" or "Fletch" instead. This one's about the passion; the passion of the "Clerks."

- Some of the key players from the "Clerks" saga who've already read the 143 page first draft: Mos, Jeff, Brian, John Pierson, Bob Hawk. Jay's reading the new, refined 119 page second draft this week. Once they were all on board, any doubt or hesitation I might've felt about monkeying with the original's legacy disappeared completely.

- This isn't about "Jersey Girl." While disappointed that we didn't do double the theatrical business we crawled to, I understand why what happened to that flick happened (considering how poorly "Gigli" did, I consider us kinda lucky that we got to 25m). If this is a reaction to anything, it's more of a reaction to "Green Hornet", and the trajectory my budgets have been taking lately. Before (and if) I direct "Hornet", I wanted to do something small and more me-like. While working on the "Clerks X" dvd, it became clear to me that "Passion" was the way to go.

- We almost did this flick three years ago, instead of "Strike Back." I'm glad we didn't, because I was able to say much more now than I would've then.

- There are gonna be lots of folks expressing disappointment or downright hostility with the idea of this movie. Let 'em vent. If it's all that bad, Xtian will just sweep it off the board. But the last thing I'm interested in is opinions on what I'm doing this early in the process, if at all. The beauty of making that first flick was being able to do it in a vacuum. Granted, I could've kept my mouth shut about it 'til we were done shooting; but with "Clerks X" coming out, it just felt right to share. Regardless - I don't want folks running here with reports of what's being said about the idea of this film at other boards. Don't waste your/my time with the braying of the jackasses. There's not even a movie to bray about yet. Once there is, if you still still feel the need to tell me what some random, knuckle-headed Talk Backer has to say about the finished product, then God bless. But until then, leave it in the locker room.

- Oh, who am I kidding? This flick makes me so happy, I'm not even bothered by the bitching (could still be even happier without it, though). I'm in love with this flick. If other folks aren't, I can't really say I'm concerned. I've read the script; they haven't. I have the benefit of insight into the flick beyond the title and the notion of it; they don't. The reaction is pretty much what I thought it'd be: a ton of positive, and minimal amount of bitching. Even if the equation was reversed, I'd still feel as good as I do now.

- At this point in my life, this flick makes absolute fucking sense.

- I can't wait to shoot it, and I can't wait 'til you all see it.

Added 8/29

- That storyline about Dante and Randal shooting a movie about working at the Quick Stop is the plot of the "Clerks" CARTOON movie. It's secure. The plot of "PotC" is something completely different.

- The flick does NOT employ the tone of the "Clerks" cartoon. It's OG "Clerks" all the way.

- The flick's in both black & white and color.

- Having not seen "South Park" since season two (unless you count the movie), I was unaware they did an episode called "The Passion of the Jew." I don't know how (or if) this info will affect our title.

- There will be no "reunions" or "crossovers" in the flick. Again - the only characters returning are Dante, Randal, Jay, and Bob.

Ya se lanzó el sitio y trae un videojournal y un supuesto teaser...

http://www.clerks2.com/

[Vicco]

Hoy después de las 10 am, se estrenará un teaser (o trailer, no recuerdo) en el sitio oficial (post anterior).

[Vicco]

Pues ya esta online el teaser, afortunadamente no hacecn mención de Passion of the Clerks por ningún lado... se ve bastante interesante aunque no tenga nada de diálogo.

Por lo poco que pude ver, Dante esta casado... y tengo curiosidad por saber qué rayos le pasó a la Quick Store que haya obligado a los Clerks a cambiar de empleo... hehehe incluye el clásico cameo de los mayuyos de Smith (Affleck y Jason Lee).

Clerks 2 commentary ... in theaters? May. 17, 2006

Source: View Askew by: Mike Sampson

Now I gotta hand it to Kevin Smith and the folks at The Weinstein Co. cause this is one of the damned most ingenious ideas I've heard in a while. It's really quite simple and I can't believe no one's done this before. In-Theater Audio Commentary. That's right, Kevin Smith has already recorded an audio commentary for CLERKS II that will be available for download onto your iPod and allow you to listen to a Director's Commentary in the theater. How cool is that? It's unclear at this point whether the commentary will be available for free or made available to purchase but either way, it's a fantastic marketing idea (and just a damn cool one to boot). You know you're going to see it once and die hard View Askew fans will have to go see it again in theaters with their iPod and Kevin's commentary running. It's a must. Give whoever came up with this idea a fat promotion and count me in. More details to come in the future and make sure to stay tuned to this very site for JoBlo's review of CLERKS II from Cannes...

[Vicco]

Excelente idea, presiento que se va a popularizar con algunos buenos directores...

Al parecer sale el dvd el 5 de diciembre segun en una estacion de radio en Detroit a la que fue Kevin Smith

Bienvenido Aegis_high!

Creo que no he visto aún ningún trailer de esta en el cine, ustedes si? Seguramente van a retrasar mucho su lanzamiento por acá porque no ha de levatar mucho interés.

[dtmovieboy]

a mi lo que más me gusta son los diálogos y conversaciones de la película, es un muy buen script, los personajes estan interesantes... y es de elogiarse la historia detrás de la película en sí. Dicen la leyenda que Smith vendió su colección de comics, empeñ´+o todo lo que pudo,m se endrogó con las tarjetas de crédito que tenía para poder financiar la película. El pensaba interpretar el personaje de Dante (por eso dice que tiene las mejores líneas), quería salir en la película por si fallaba su carrera de director, al menos le quedaría el recuerdo de haber salido. A final de cuentas tomó el papel de Silent Bob y la película fue un éxito y comprada por Miramax para su distribución y el resto como dicen es historia. Altamente recomendada, comedia.

Por cierto ayer paso Clerks en el canal yo recomiendo ver las 5 peliculas para entender todo
