Fun movie news this afternoon: Kevin Smith is hoping to leave the industry on a high note in 2014 with one last full-circle directorial effort: Clerks 3. The film would be the swan song installment of his slacker saga, which began with Clerks , the 1994 flick that put the indie filmmaker on the map. Kevin’s announcement follows the news that his hockey flick Hit Somebody will be turned into a six-part miniseries on an unannounced network. “So with the HIT SOMEBODY shift, the minute Jeff Anderson signs on, my last cinematic effort as a writer/director will be CLERKS III #TaDa,” Smith tweeted . 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the original film, which was shot in a convenience store and continues to have a cult following to this day. The movie is responsible for launching Smith’s career, marked by hit indie staples like Chasing Amy, Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back . Smith also recently said in an interview with Good Day LA: “Instead of letting people [guess] for years, I said, ‘I will do Clerks 3 . 2014 it is the 20th anniversary. We’re going to mark it somehow, God willing, with Clerks 3.” “We just need Jeff Anderson to come back and say yes.”
