Kevin Smith's Appeal to Recreate Classic Clerks Scene in Clerks III Gets Perfect Response

Clerks director Kevin Smith turned 51 this week and his birthday also marked the start of production on the long-awaited Clerks III. Last month, it was revealed that Lionsgate acquired worldwide distribution rights to the threequel, which has led to Smith sharing some fun throwbacks and posting pre-production dates. Smith, who will also be reprising his role of Silent Bob opposite Jason Mewes' Jay in Clerks III, is bringing back some old costume pieces. In fact, Smith reached out to the San Jose Sharks hockey team in the hopes of finding the same hat Mewes wears in the original film.
