Clerks 2 Underway (Finally)

This is a week old, but I hadn’t seen it ’til just now. Kevin Smith announced the final addition to the Clerks 2 cast last week.

9/20 Update

Here’s our female lead, folks…

And we’re happy (and lucky) to have her….
Rosario Dawson will star in the twin bill “Killshot” and “Passion of the Clerks” for the Weinstein Co.
Dawson, who’ll next be seen in the Chris Columbus-directed screen adaptation of the Broadway musical “Rent,” starts “Killshot” next month and will bounce from that film to “Passion of the Clerks,” the sequel that was written and will be directed by Kevin Smith. Scott Mosier is producing.

There it is - which makes our “Clerks 2″ leads: Brian O’Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Rosario Dawson, Trevor Fehrman, Jennifer Schwalbach, Jason Mewes, and Kevin Smith.
Rosario’s pitch-perfect for this role, and wait ’til you see how she fits into the Askewniverse…
If you’ve never seen Spike Lee’s “25th Hour”, go watch it. It’s a great film, and Rosario’s fantastic in it.

I’m inclined to agree - 25th Hour was an excellent flick; most of you have no doubt caught Rosario in Sin City as well. Clerks 2 was actually supposed to be done right about now, as the original plan was for filming to begin back in January. Obviously that fell through, but hopefully it’s for the better. For those of you who don’t know, Clerks 2 is set to take place 10 years after the original one, and is supposed to be a cameo-free affair, more in the style of Clerks and Chasing Amy than his last three flicks. I, for one, can’t wait for Kevin Smith’s return to form.
