Kevin Smith Fans Are Loving the New Clerks 3 Trailer

It's been about 28 years since Clerks hit theaters and 16 years since Clerks II was released, so fans of director Kevin Smith have been waiting quite a while for a threequel. Today, the trailer for Clerks III finally hit the Internet, and people are excited to see the return of Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran), Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson), Becky (Rosario Dawson), Elias (Trevor Fehrman), Jay (Jason Mewes), and Silent Bob (Smith). The new trailer also featured some exciting cameos such as Fred Armisen, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ben Affleck, and more. The footage has caused a lot of reactions on Twitter from fans, but before you check out some of the posts, here's what Smith shared on Instagram earlier today...

"In 1993, I made my first film, #Clerks. In 2006, I made my 7th film #Clerks2. This fall, I proudly present my 14th film – CLERKS III! And today, I give you the Jersey-joyful TRAILER! The story of Dante & Randal & @jayandsilentbob continues back where it all began: in the l'il shop around the corner called @quickstopgroceries! Join the Clerk-y boys, Elias, Becky, Emma, and many more old friends as they use art to try to imitate life behind the counter! One year ago from today, I flew to Jersey to start #Clerks3 and I couldn't be happier to share the results with you now! With all the shit going on in the world, set aside some catch-up time to laugh your ass off along with old (and I mean *really* old) friends! Come see the new @clerksmovie with me when our CLERKS III: THE CONVENIENCE TOUR rolls through your neck of the woods, or check it out when @lionsgate & @fathomevents releases it in theaters everywhere this September! TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW WITH CODE: SILENT. GENERAL ON SALE FRIDAY 10AM! CLERKS III – I assure you, we're open," Smith wrote. You can check out the trailer here:
