speak during a recent Fat Man on Batman Q&A , Smith get the bad news thatClerks IIIwill not pass ( viaComic Book ) . As the movie maker explain , he was all quick to goon the pic when one key actor - Jeff Anderson aka Randal - decided to back out , cause the whole matter to do crashing down . Smith say :
“ For a while , one of the shop assistant did not require to be involve . I wrote the script , he dug the script , he was just like , ‘ Yeah , do n’t wanna do it . ’ It took me years to get him to a place where , ‘ Oh , maybe I ’ll do this . ’ And then it look like we were move ahead . We had loot for it . $ 8 million . That was the budget . ”
As for the possibility of doing the movie without Anderson as Randal , Smith said that too is a no - go :
“ I want it so poorly but I ca n’t do it without him , it was write for him . But the Randal part is the whole picture , like it ’s Randal ’s film . So unless he interchange his nous — if and when he changes his mind , I doubt that ’ll happen — then we can kind of move onward . I could never recast it , he is Randal , Jeff Anderson . ”
ThoughClerks IIIwill apparently never hap as a movie because of Anderson ’s refusal to come out , Smith said he could revive the hand as a comic book . late , Smith has seen himself branching out into other sensitive a lot , as movie projects obviously become hard for him to get off the ground .

But instead of making a movie , Smith and Jason Mewes will fetch Jay and Silent Bob backas part of a VR series . Of course , the stoner did recently manage to make it back to screens in another meeting place completely , appearing in a cameoonThe Flash .
As of now , it look Kevin Smith ’s View Askewniverse has come undone , at least in terms of movies . Clerks IIIwon’t hap , Jay and Silent Bob the Rebootseems to have melt and with Ben Affleck and Smith apparently on the out , Dogma IIalmost surely will never happen either .
