Kevin Smith is someone who seems genuinely comfortable outside the realm of Hollywood politics. The writer/director has always served his career time on the fringe of the studio system while, at times, dabbing his foot into the crux of a big-budget movie. The foul-mouthed filmmaker also has the ability to produce a movie at a Woody Allen-esque pace as his films are made relatively cheap with non-complex productions. Smith has recently been given the green light to make a new film thanks to a waiver bestowed to him from the Screen Actors’ Guild.

ComicBook.com is reporting that Smith is ready to move forward with his next project, The 4:30 Movie. Smith famously wrote the doomed Superman Lives script for Tim Burton, whose Nicolas Cage incarnation now infamously became realized in The Flash, and he held a script reading event for the unmade project. It was here that the...

In collaboration with “Clerks” mastermind Kevin Smith, Logic’s newest music video for his stoner anthem “Highlife” reunites the film’s cast. The video features Logic as the star at the original New Jersey Quick Stop set.

“Clerks” (1994) follows clerks Dante and Randal’s daily debauchery at a New Jersey convenience store. “Clerks II” premiered in 2006 and “Clerks III” in 2022. All of the “Clerks” films, along with Smith’s other works such as “Mallrats” (1995), “Chasing Amy” (1997) and “Dogma” (1999), are part of his fictional universe, referred to as “View Askewniverse.”

The music video’s cast includes Smith as Silent Bob, Brian O’Halloran as Dante, Jeff Anderson as Randal, Jason Mewes as Jay, Matt Ranieri as Mooby and Ernie O’Donnell as Trainer.

Logic has long admired Kevin Smith’s work. Smith direct messaged the rapper on Instagram to join “Clerks III,” but the rapper missed the alert. Once the creators did connect,...

The now-shooting story of how Kevin Smith came to make Clerks has added, well, Kevin Smith to its cast.

A new independent film has started shooting, that will tell the story of how Kevin Smith went from behind the counter at a convenience store, to making Clerks and kickstarting his career.

Entitled Shooting Clerks, the project was successfully crowdfunded to the tune of $3,605 earlier this year. Writer/director Christopher Downie is behind it, and the film is described as "an indie underdog story. It's Rocky with cameras".

The cast of the film will feature Ernie O'Donnell, Scott Schiaffo, Vinnie Periera and Betty Broussard. And it's now been confirmed that Kevin Smith is to play a small role in the movie, as a Canadian reporter called Larkin Eve (which is an anagram for Real Kevin). He will also narrate, having long given Shooting Clerks his blessing.
