After years of starts and stops, Kevin Smith has offered a very exciting update for the long-awaited Mallrats 2. 'We're seeing some traction on Mallrats 2: Twilight of the Mallrats, so...fingers crossed, folks.'
After years of starts and stops, Mallrats 2 has gotten a very exciting update from Kevin Smith. The 1995 comedy acted as the second installment in Smith's interconnected View Askewniverse and centered on Brodie and T.S., two comic book fans and stalwarts recovering from being broken up by their girlfriends by heading to the mall and indulging in the chaos going around there.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In the latest episode of his Fat Man Beyond podcast, Kevin Smith offered some insight for what he has in development for 2023. Though expressing his excitement at writing a number of projects, Smith specifically offered an exciting update on Mallrats 2, revealing that the long-awaited sequel is finally gaining traction with studios and could begin filming sometime in 2023.
I got a bunch of things. For the first few months of the year, I'm going to be writing. I've got a bunch of writing projects for other people, so I'm unfortunately not at liberty to reveal, but some of them are f--king wonderful. That's a different beast than the stuff I do for myself. What am I most looking forward to? We're seeing some traction on Mallrats 2: Twilight of the Mallrats, so...fingers crossed, folks.
Despite his enthusiasm to make the sequel happen, the biggest hurdle for Smith getting Mallrats 2 off the ground seems to be getting the finances together for the film, as Universal partially holds the rights to the original. Produced on a budget of $6.1 million, the original Mallrats was considered a major disappointment upon release, namely coming off of Smith's acclaimed feature debut with Clerks, as it only grossed $2.
On the other hand, Smith's recent optimism about the potential Mallrats 2 and four other films coming in the near future could point towards the sequel finally getting off the ground.
