Kevin Smith returns as Silent Bob in trailer for ‘Clerks III’
A trailer has been released for Kevin Smith’s long-awaited sequel Clerks III
Picking up after the 1994 original and its 2006 sequel, Clerks III follows Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson) after he suffers a life-threatening heart attack.
Along with appearances from beloved characters Jay and Silent Bob, the trailer also features appearances from Ben Affleck, Fred Armisen and Sarah Michelle Gellar who audition for the meta-comedy.
“Jay and Silent Bob are like C-3PO and R2-D2,” Randal remarks to Dante in the trailer.
“They’ve been here since the first movie which was the last time they were cool, but they’ve been with the franchise so long, they still give them cameos and put them on the lunch boxes.”
The story of Clerks III is inspired by Smith’s heart attack onstage in Glendale, California in February 2018. Along with playing Silent Bob, Smith has written and directed the sequel.
