In Reply to: CLERKS 2 SHOULD BE IN B&W, WITH NO RE-CASTING!! posted by Cangaroo on November 18, 1999 at 02:34:14:
Think about it, he could easily set the record for highest grossing black and white movie of all time with Clerks 2,
Um...no he wouldnt. how can you claim that. There is no evidence that his audience is large enough for this bold statement. Your are assuming millions, not including the new dogma fans, will jump on board to make this happen, not likely
if he doesn't already hold that title with the first Clerks movie.
$3 million is not even close. You know there were about 60 years when with few exceeptions only b&w were made, dont you?
There is NO need for him to spend much movie at all on this film, although I hope he would spend more on salaries for his original Clerks cast this time around than he could have the first time.
i doubt it will have a big budget. Anything bigger than he had on rats would come accross as wasteful
I personally would be disappointed if Jason Lee is not in this movie, but I would be real pissed if his was recast into Dante's role. But Kevin Smith won't do that.
you are correct, kevin wouldnt recast. That would just plain suck. Who says they have to use dante and rndel though? Using solely the first film, not the comics, as a basis, maybe dante got sick of it and quit. It wouldnt be a stretch to say Randall got fired. Plus I would love to see Lee get a staring role again
This is a real odd oppurtunity for him, almost like T2. James Cameron got the chance to basically remake Terminator, with a huge budget and a different ending, when he made T2. Kevin Smith can do the same thing with C2, he will have a much larger audience then he did in the first movie, but I will be thrilled if C2 is made with the same basic plot (Dante and Randal have wild adventures during another boring ass day at work), and a different ending (Randal fucks a dead guy.... or something).
It would be cool if kevin had arnold in this film
mental thought for everyone, listen to the sound of his voice delivering randalls lines
O.K. I shut up now.
no complaints here
