Kevin Smith Returns in ‘Clerks 3’ Trailer Featuring New Ben Affleck Cameo, Same Quick Stop

Kevin Smith is keeping the ’90s alive with his latest release, Clerks III. The director dropped the first trailer for his new movie today, giving a glimpse at familiar faces Dante (Brian O’Halloran), Randal (Jeff Anderson) and Jay (Jason Mewes).

In the first look at the latest Clerks film, Randal is inspired to make his very own movie after years spent watching the same films again and again. After suffering a heart attack and surviving, he pens his own script about working as a clerk and brings it to life with the help of Dante, Elias (Trevor Fehrman), Jay and Silent Bob (Smith).

Smith drew inspiration from his own life for Clerks III, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The director survived a heart attack in 2018, a scary event that he later called “the best thing” to have ever happened to him because it sparked a change in his lifestyle.

Along with Smith and his original Clerks crew, Clerks III also stars Austin Zajur and Rosario Dawson. Today’s trailer includes blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameos from Ben Affleck, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Fred Armisen. Scroll up to watch it in full in the video above.
