Production
On March 13, 2015, Kevin Smith confirmed that a sequel was being written and was slated to begin shooting in summer 2016,[2] however on April 8, 2015, Smith confirmed that Mallrats 2 would be his next film and not Clerks III like originally intended and that shooting would now begin in the summer of 2015. Smith said "we were talking about initially shooting Clerks III this summer and then we were going to get to Mallrats in the beginning of 2016. And then it jumped into 2015, where we were going to shoot Clerks and then hopefully ‘Mallrats’ before the end of the year. But now, based on a mall that we all dig that will be going away, the priority has become Mallrats. So the next movie I’m making is Mallrats 2. [3][4]
Smith stated that the idea for a sequel had been floating around almost after the original was made and his reasons for making a sequel were to honor his dead friend, producer Jim Jacks' wishes for a sequel saying "Jim Jacks never lost faith. Even when I would kick Mallrats and make fun of it, Jacks was always the guy going “No man. Know what would be funny and what’s gonna redeem us? Mallrats 2: Die Hard In A Mall.” So it was one of those things that was an ongoing theme in his life. So a year ago I was sitting here talking about this shit and I was like “I wanna honor the man in some way” and this is how we’re gonna do it. We’re gonna finally make the movie I wish to Christ I made when he was living, man. So we’re finally going to make Mallrats 2.[5]
