: i know the whole deal with clerks 2, but i dont know if kev ever got the script written, does anybody know if he did? and does anybody know what it was gonna be about?
I don't know what Kevin may have written, but I have heard a couple of Askew people mention that Kevin had a great idea in mind to deal with the color/B&W issue. So... I would GUESS that he had written at least a little something. Just my guess.
: i heard the original plot for J&SBSB was gonna be that jay and silent bob are trying to save the quick stop, i was wondering if that was gonna be the plot for clerks 2,
Oooh-- I know this one, 'cause I got made fun of for asking the same question!
Kevin did mention in a Vulgarthon Q&A that the first draft of JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK dealt with the attempts to save the Quick Stop. Just like you, I thought this may've been the basis for CLERKS 2, which then transformed over time into what became J&SBSB... so I asked Kevin that. He said no, and gave me shit for asking about that when he had just clearly spelled out that this was the first draft of J&SBSB, not of something else. So... there's your answer.
: and i know that the clerks cartoon is gonna be about dante and randal make a black and white movie about their experiences about the quick stop, so i thought maybe that might be it to,
That, I don't know anything about.
: but if its not and he has written clerks 2 he should post it on the website, sorry if this has been talked about a million times
I think at some point, someone on the board asked Kevin if he'd ever reveal the scripts to any of his aborted projects (CLERKS 2, BUSING, etc.), and he said no. I'm guessing that he'd rather keep it private so he can reuse the bits which he liked.
