Also, please include any info you have about the >coming of this movie and the director. >thanks-JEnny > The director of CLERKS is Kevin Smith who made this small independent film called CLERKS with a lot of help from his friends and some credit cards to finance it. It won an award at the Sundance Film Festival and caught the eye of Miramax films who added in more of a soundtrack and released it across the country. Smith's second movie is now on video by the name of MALLRATS, it follows his so called New Jersey trilogy and includes the characters of Silent Bob and Jay from CLERKS (Incidentally Silent Bob is played by Kevin Smith, the director). Look closely when you watch MALLRATS because their are many many in-jokes and references to CLERKS. Also many of the same actors who are friends of Smith's also appear in MALLRATS. The third game contestant is the same actor who played the main character in CLERKS. The characters even have the same last name. Could they be brothers? Smith has a third movie in production in the New Jersey trilogy. The plot includes something about a guy who is in love with a lesbian or something. If you have a laser disc player you may want to look for the CLERKS laserdisc edition which includes interviews with the director and an alternate ending in which Dante is shot in the convience store.
