Kevin Smith Says Clerks 'Began My Career' 30 Years Ago, While Mallrats 1 Year Later 'Killed' It

Kevin Smith discussed his career downfall with his 1995 sophomore effort 'Mallrats', after the success of 'Clerks' (1994) and before 'Chasing Amy' (1997).

In fact, Smith even revealed back in April 2020 that he had finished writing a sequel to the latter film, titled Twilight of the Mallrats, during the early days of the COVID-19 quarantine. Rene, Willam, Gwen, Brandy, T.S., Trish, Mr. Svenning, LaFours and the rebooted@jayandsilentbob are the returning ‘Rats in an Askewniverse imagining about what happens when the sidewalk sales end, and 'happily ever after' is easier to say than live!" He added that while Jay and Silent Bob is some of his "favorite conceptual comedy" that he's "ever written," the script for Twilight of the Mallrats is "silly, sentimental and sweet."
