Considering Kevin Smith was set to retire this time the last, the cult indie filmmaker certainly has a lot on his plate. In addition to putting the finishing touches to his horror Tusk, Smith also has his kaiju Jesus project Helena Handbag in development, while he’s also gearing up for a return to the View Askewniverse, with shooting on Clerks III due to begin in May.
So far, we know that Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson are set to return as Dante and Randall for the Clerks threequel, while it’s all but certain that Smith and Jason Mewes will be back as Jay and Silent Bob. And now we have another addition to the cast, with b star Rosario Dawson confirming to Den of Geek that she’ll be reprising the role of Becky.
According to Smith, Clerks III will arrive in cinemas this November, so expect to hear plenty of news about the project in the coming months. Meanwhile, Dawson will be seen in another sequel this year, returning to the role of Gail in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, which opens in August.
