News: Kevin Smith to shoot Mallrats 2 before Clerks III
There have been a lot of casting announcements recently following the news that Kevin Smith would be making a sequel to his second film; Mallrats 2.
We were also told that production had been brought forward to 2015, after filming on his other major project Clerks III.
However, Smith announced today that Mallrats 2 has been pushed forward to shoot before Clerks III due to the availability of a disused mall location he wants for the film which is soon to be demolished.
