Clerks: The Animated Series - Clerks: Sell Out

Clerks: Sell Out

For several years following the series' cancellation, Smith has announced plans to make an animated direct-to-video film. The basic plot involved Dante and Randal making a movie about their lives at the Quick Stop, a reference to the production of the original film. As of September 2009, the status on the project is unknown. In a recent interview Kevin Smith expanded on the delays surrounding the film. Apparently, when Harvey and Bob Weinstein left Miramax, owned by Disney, the split was not completely amicable. The rights to the Clerks television show are still owned by the Disney Corporation, who as a result are reluctant to work with The Weinstein Company, throwing the future of Clerks: Sell Out into question. At the 2007 Cornell Q/A Kevin said due to the Miramax/Weinstein argument "you will see a Jay and Silent Bob cartoon before Clerks: Sell Out."

However, when Miramax was bought in 2011, Kevin Smith revealed on his podcast 'Jay And Silent Bob Get Jobs' is that Miramax has contacted him for new projects, and they discussed the possibility of bringing back the series.
