The Stars of Clerks 2 Talk About the Film
Recently I had the chance to chat with Brian O' Halloran and Jeff Anderson about their new film "Clerks II". I want to thank the two of them for taking the time to give us an in depth look behind the magic and the mayhem.
GVK: Starting with my favorite scene in the film, the LOTR VS Classic Trilogy Debate. How much of it was your own views, and how much of it was written by
Kevin?
BO: I appreciate both but I am a big fan of the original Star Wars Trilogy.
JA: That was Kevin's writing as while I am a Star Wars guy, I have no opinion either way on which is better.
GVK: How was it going back to the characters again, and what sort of thoughts did you have when you heard that there was going to be another movie?
BO: As a working actor, I was all "Yeah Sure" as I wanted more work and I had faith that Kevin had something that was going to be good.
JA: I did not want to do it, as I thought it was an odd move. The original "Clerks" was such a special film that after "Jersey Girl" and the cartoon series it seemed like going to a different world.
GVK: How much did working on the 10th Anniversary DVD for "Clerks" get the ball rolling for the sequel?
BO: When doing the DVD we had such a good time especially with the missing funeral scene, we were reminded of the great fun we had doing the original. Kevin got to work on it, an had a script in 30-40 days.
JA: Kevin really had to talk me off the ledge a few times, over many dinners as I had some cold feet especially during the push time when the film was held up in studio changes as it held up a project I was working on that should come out this year on DVD.
GVK: With the Miramax/Weinstein Split how did that affect the filming and scheduling of "Clerks II"?
BO: It was delayed about a year and a half as we also had Kevin's film "Catch and Release" to deal with as he has a part in that and we had to work around the schedule.
JA: During this time, I really started to have doubts but Kevin kept at it and kept me in the project as I really started to rethink things.
GVK: With the cancellation of the "Clerks" television series and rumors of a "Clerks" sitcom there must really have been some odd things happening. Can you tell the readers some of the things that were going on?
