Kevin Smith Talks About 'Passion Of The Clerks'

Writer/director Kevin Smith has given an update on The Passion of The Clerks, the sequel to Clerks, at his official website.

"We were hoping we'd start in January," says Smith. "But with all the Miramax/Disney stuff going on, we've been delayed." He says they will now probably start filming in early April.

The sequel to the 1994 independent hit picks up 10 years later. It's about what happens when that lazy, 20-something malaise lasts into your 30s. It's time for the Dante and Randal to actually grow up and do something more than just sit around and dissect pop culture and talk about sex.

Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Jason Mewes, and Smith will reprise their roles.
