Clerks II

It's been over 10 years since we saw the cult classic Clerks bring Dante Hicks and Randal Graves to life. The funny black and white film was such a hit, all these years later we will soon see a sequel with the upcoming release of Clerks II.

Clerks II takes place 10 years after the original and lets us in on what some of our favorite characters are doing today. Only four of the original cast will return, including Dante, Randal, Jay, and Silent Bob.
This time, instead of the convenience store as the movie's backdrop, it will mostly take place at the fast foot restaurant, Mooby's, seen before in View Askew films.

The movie finds Dante still working at the convenience store and Randal still working at RST video. Neither are happy, and after a fire occurs in both stores, they decide to move on to another minimum wage job at Mooby's. But, Dante, who is living with his girlfriend, doesn't want to stay there long because he wants a family life. Randal isn't too thrilled either, and goes through a bit of a mid-life crisis.

Don't expect the same antics you've grown to love from Jay and Silent Bob. They, too, will be a bit different, this time clean and sober! Rosario Dawson is the newest edition to the film. She will play Becky, Mooby's manager.
