No, you can't have permission to rip off the man's movie. However, the basic idea of working people struggling to get by doesn't have a patent on it or anything. If it's different from Clerks, go for it.
But don't be ridiculous. He can't be in your movie. The man is busy, and besides, there are about five million Kevin Smith fans making movies that would love to have their idol be in it -- he can't be in everyone's damn movie. This doesn't mean he isn't a "nice guy", you're just asking way too much. But peace to you anyway.
: Dear Mr. Smith
: I am writing you today on a matter of business. I am an inspiring amature movie creator and i was wondering if you would mind if me and my group of rag-tag group of actors make a movie based off of "The Clerks." Honastly i have to give ya props on that movie it was the shit! As i was saying the movie is based on the clerks but instead of being clerks their are two cooks/band members Who hate their jobs. We have regular customers and shit who hassle us constantly and on the behalf of my freind and the rest of the crew I wanted to ask you personaly if you could you know grace us with Silent Bob and Jays presance in this movie. Im sorry but as money goes were BROKE. lol! But I figured that your a nice guy and that you presance in this movie would help us a lot! (Dude dont scrap the idea of Clerks 2 it would kick royal ass.(P.S. Bring back the cartoon.) But i figure that you probably wouldnt even think about helping us with this movie but i hope that my hunch about you was right and that your a nice guy.(we could use the extra brain power with the movie) If you do decide to help us with the movie, post a message and Ill try to answer it asap.
: Thanks for the great movies,
: Jon
: Yeah im gonna keep postin this till he responds. LOL i know know that he is totaly anti celeb and we are also. Were jes a buncha guys tryin our best to get you all to laugh at a funny movie we want to make.
