In the first trailer for Clerks III, the story should seem very familiar to Kevin Smith fans.

The sequel, 15 years in the making, follows Randal (Jeff Anderson) and Dante (Brian O’Halloran), who starred in the first Clerks, as they decided to make a movie about their lives following a near-fatal heart attack reminds Randal of his own mortality.

Along with their friends Jay (Jason Mewes), and Silent Bob (Smith), the two shoot their shot at immortality via a cinema vérité film about, well, being a clerk. Returning players Rosario Dawson and Trevor Fehrman are seen reprising their roles from 2006’s Clerks II in the trailer, which also features cameos from frequent Smith collaborators like Ben Affleck and Justin Long.

Set to the strains of Lit’s “My Own Worst Enemy,” the trailer sports many references to both Smith’s life and his work in just about two minutes, such as Smith’s 2018 “widow-maker” heart attack and the violent alternate ending to the original Clerks movie, which killed off Dante. It also features callbacks to the original movie, including the rooftop hockey match.

Smith created the original Clerks based on his career at the Quick Stop convenience store in Middletown, New Jersey. He returned to his View Askew series for the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot movie after his health scare.

“Everything in this script is something either me or someone I know said,” Randal says of the movie-within-the-movie in the trailer.

Fathom Events and Lionsgate will present Clerks III in more than 700 U.S. movie theaters on September 13th and 15th, with both nights to feature an exclusive look behind the scenes with director Smith and the cast of the film. To pre-order tickets, visit the official movie webite here.
