The Weinsteins Pass On CLERKS 3, Says Kevin Smith

This is kind of a shock: it appears that The Weinstein Company, who own franchise rights to Kevin Smith's CLERKS series, have passed on CLERKS 3.

“[The Weinsteins] passed,” Smith said. “I went in with a $6 million budget and they were like, ‘Oh no, Kevin. This is too high.’ Bob offered us distribution, but they weren’t going to finance it.”

Now all this really means is that Smith needs to come up with the $6M elsewhere.  I have faith.
