<p><strong>Kevin Smith&#8217;s</strong> latest horror film <em><strong>Tusk</strong> </em>may have not been a smash at the box office or with critics, but it did make a decent chunk of change. The money from the film has convinced some investors for Smith to proceed with a third <em><strong>Clerks</strong> </em>movie. Of course, <strong>Smith</strong> still has his own little horror trilogy of sorts he has planned with <strong><em>Tusk</em> </strong>being his first and his next being <strong><em>Yoga Hosers</em></strong>. But <strong>Smith</strong> mentioned in a recent podcast that the <em><strong>Clerks</strong></em> trilogy is finally going to happen:</p>
<blockquote><p>Tusk was the absolute bridge to Clerks III. Because of Tusk I got my financing for Clerks III. A year and change ago I was desperately trying to get Clerks III made for the 20th anniversary and that desperation — I must have reeked of it because I couldn’t f–king find money and shit. But it was Tusk, people going ‘Holy f–k, what else do you have?’ and I was like Clerks III and they’re like ‘Done.’ So, everybody that’s like, ‘He failed, he failed,’ I’m like ‘Thank you, I failed into Clerks III.’</p></blockquote>
<p>Given <strong>Smith&#8217;s</strong> full plate of other films he wants to make, chances are we won&#8217;t be seeing this film for awhile, possibly 2017 at the earliest.</p>
