Director Kevin Smith has announced that The Weinstein Company has passed on ‘Clerks 3’.
In an interview with Variety, Smith said the budget was too much.
“[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.”
He originally wanted to start filming in May of this year.
Smith said he will look elsewhere to get the movie financed.
