In case you hadn't heard yet... Kevin Smith is making a sequel to Clerks, called The Passion of the Clerks. Read more of his comments about it here.


Update: How did I miss hearing about Fletch Won, which landed in Smith's lap four years ago? But that seems to keep getting pushed back, first in favor of The Green Hornet, and now in favor of The Passion of the Clerks. I for one am looking forward to seeing a Fletch movie made by someone who truly respects the books; the first Fletch movie was good and mostly based on the first book, but it tied things up wrong at the end, and second movie had nothing to do with the books at all. It sounds like Smith wants to be faithful to the books. Whenever he finally gets around to doing the movie. (Fletch Won, by the way, is part of a pair of "prequel" novels in the Fletch series; the whole series is around ten or twelve books.) There's also a web site dedicated to the Fletch Won movie, but I'm not sure how current it is.
