Kevin Smith is thanking Clerks fans for getting his newest movie’s trailer trending. The Internet at large has been discussing Clerks III all day. When the clip released, people seemed really excited to visit with Dante Hicks (Brian O’Halloran), Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson), and their co-workers. Becky (Rosario Dawson), Elias (Trevor Fehrman), and the familiar New Jersey convenience store are all back as well. With reboots and reimagining going around Hollywood right now, a return to an established series seems like a slam dunk. Askewniverse fans travel well, and Clerks III seems like it will be no different in this regard. Twitter is notoriously a place where the bubbling around entertainment properties can seem to percolate out of nowhere. But, Smith’s fans were determined to get this new movie in front of as many people as possible. Check out the director’s message to the fans down below.
