Kevin Smith has been on a major hot streak work-wise since the days of Cop Out. There was Red State, then Tusk, and now he’s announced the line-up of his schedule for the next year and a half via Twitter.
We shoot CLERKS III in May. HIT SOMEBODY shoots September to Christmas. Then in Feb 2016, we do MOOSE JAWS. But after that? I smell a rat…

Wait. Hold up. What was that about a rat? Is he implying what we thing he’s implying? Is there going to be a Mallrats…sequel?
Certainly the Clerks follow-up movie that cemented the View Askew films within a shared universe has its fans, but is there enough to make a movie out of it? Especially considering mall culture certainly isn’t what it once was in the ’90s. Then again, a Mallrats follow-up wouldn’t necessarily be a feature film.
Smith is notorious for teasing his fans with potential ideas. What if this isn’t him teasing a new movie, but a digital short, or a comic, or even a web series? There are a lot of ways this could go, and until the man chooses to elaborate, if at all, we’ll just have to wait and see.
