The beginning of the month saw the highly-anticipated debut of the Clerks III trailer. Many staples from Clerks and Clerks II appeared in the trailer, including Brian O’Halloran (Dante Hicks), Jeff Anderson (Randal Graves), Rosario Dawson (Becky), Trevor Fehrman (Elias), Jason Mewes (Jay), and director Kevin Smith who also plays Silent Bob. The trailer featured some exciting cameos appearances including a glimpse at longtime Smith collaborator, Ben Affleck. The two creatives worked together on Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and more until they had a falling out. After not speaking for ten years, they reunited when Affleck made a cameo in Jay & Silent Bob Reboot in 2019. Smith took to Instagram yesterday to reveal Affleck will not be playing any of the characters he portrayed in Smith’s previous movies in Clerks III.
