“TOMORROW! We debut the jolly, joyfulClerkstrailer!” Smith said onInstagramwhen sharing the posters. “At the same time, we’ll unveil the main poster (with alts still to come at Comic-San Diego Con & New York Comic-Con) and tickets will go on sale for the first 19 shows ofCLERKS III: THE CONVENIENCE TOUR! But today, the good folks at Lionsgate marketing have handcrafted TWO posters to share that are so choice, I couldn’t decide which one to post. So I’m just posting both!”
Smith added, “First up is an ode to one of the Internet’s favorite memes with Dante & Randal sitting in for the dog! The second one is a direct lift fromClerks III(as well asClerks), featuring our hero Brian O’Halloran in a pose that anybody who’s ever had a job can identify with! This fall, return with me & my friends to Quick Stop Groceries - the little shop around the corner in Central Jersey where the 90’s never ended! See your first sneak peek ofClerks IIITOMORROW - WEDNESDAY JULY 6TH!”

Clerks III Takes Dante and Randal Back to Quick Stop
After Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson starred as Dante and Randal in the originalClerksin 1994, they returned for the 2006 sequelClerks II. This time, the two had to find a new job at a local fast food joint after Quick Stop Groceries had been burned down. That film ended with Jay and Silent Bob helping with getting Quick Stop and RST Video rebuilt so the two lifelong clerks can return to what has basically become their shared second home.
Putting the story back at Quick Stop will have the newClerkssequel feeling more reminiscent of the original. There are clearly going to be many homages and Easter eggs as can already be seen from the posters alone. Characters from the original, like Marilyn Ghigliotti’s Veronica and Scott Schiaffo’s Chewlie’s gum representative, will also be back to be involved with the story. ButClerks IIstars will also be featured, such as Rosario Dawson’s Becky and Trevor Fehrman’s Elias.
In the film, Randal suffers a near-fatal heart attack and it changes his outlook on life. The incident inspires him to make a movie at Quick Stop along with Dante about their lives as clerks at the convenience store. Through Randal’s movie,many moments from the originalClerkswill be recreatedas a fun way to finish the trilogy.
Clerks IIIwill have its first trailer released on Wednesday, July 6, with release information also forthcoming.
