Neither. Smith will still continue to make films (at least a couple more) and he will still be making them under the View Askew production company. What he means, is that he is only going to make one more film that falls within the View Askewniverse (otherwise known as the world in which all his pictures to date have taken place in.) His last one will close that out, tie everything together so to speak. It will feature some returning characters from the flicks so far. But, after that, no more Hick cousins, no more Jones sisters, no more Willam of two worlds, no more Steve - Dave and Walt the fanboy, and no more (gasp) Jay and Silent Bob.
He will then move on to more adult fare, so he says. He doesn't want to do an all out drama, but he won't be going for the easy dick and fart jokes as much. He has always said that he would be fascinated by a courtroom drama so you never know. I figure it just means no more easy jokes by having a connection to something from the previous films. Knowing Kevin he can still come up with original and interesting characters, situations and stories with large amounts of comedy and snippets of drama combined to make a great little picture.
Of course that doesn't necessarily mean the end of the Askewniverse. The interconnected characters of Monmouth County will continue to live on in the Askew related comic books (aside from the existing ones, a Bartleby-Loki Origin one shot, and Mallrats sequel miniseries is planned), the Clerks: Animated series (however long that lasts, 6 episodes at least for sure) and the possible Clerks animated feature.
Oh, and no, Clerks 2 is not the name of the next one. The final Askewniverse flick is as of yet untitled. I typed a lot, so you better have found this helpful.

: I have heard recently that this next View Askew film will be the final one. I was wonderin if this meant that Kevin Smith wasnt gonna make anymore films or that view askew wasnt. Thanx y'all... BrodieMan
