If Kevin Smith hadn’t canceled one of his comedy shows in 2018 after suffering an unexpected heart attack, the Clerks director might not have survived to use his brush with death as the basis for Clerks III’s upcoming Lionsgate. While the specter of humanity’s mortality is what brings Dante, Randal, Jay, and Silent Bob back together in the first trailer for Clerks III, the relatively dark circumstances also remind them that they still have valuable time to make it happen. some of his dreams. .
The first trailer for Clerks III approaches Dante (Brian O’Halloran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson) just as he’s having a heart attack at Quick Stop, where the two have been for decades.

After a lifelong obsessively consuming other people’s art, Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith) return to Jersey to help fulfill Randal’s final wish, and the trailer makes it clear that the reunion of the gang will be largely a celebration. of the original secretaries.

Clerks III also stars Marilyn Ghigliotti, Rosario Dawson, Trevor Fehrman, Ben Affleck, Fred Armisen, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Buteau and Marc Bernardin. The film will be screened in cinemas on 13 and 15 September.
