first, it's not "Clerks 2". It's View Askew movie 5 (as yet untitled).
It has characters from Clerks, Mallrats, AND Chasing Amy.
When Clerks 2 was a possibility, It looked like it was going to be BOTH black and white, AND color. Someone on the board suggested a "Wizard of Oz" type thing, with the start and end in black and white, and the middle in color, and kevin's reply was something like "Ten steps ahead of you" (not a direct quote - fuzzy memory).
I'd speculate that there will be scenes that are black and white, but mostly color.
: I understand that clerks 2 is going to be in colour, but I would implore you (Kevin) to stay true to the 1st one and keep it black and white. I know that the only reason that the 1st one was in B&W was because of cost of both lighting and processing, but I think for a sequel to be a sequel, it must maintain 'continuity', if you will. That is to say, you should be able to see both movies back to back, and not feel like you're missing a beat.
