Gerard Way has been focusing on The Umbrella Academy this year, and now it looks like the former My Chemical Romance frontman his dipping his toes into the world of film.
According to Slash Film, Kevin Smith revealed that Way would be scoring Clerks 3 during an event for his upcoming movie Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. It will be the 42-year-old's first film score.
The third volume of the Clerks trilogy almost didn't happen (the first movie came out in 1994 and its sequel in 2006) but its creator surprised us all with an announcement earlier this month revealing the end of the saga would be told after all.
Clerks 3 will wrap up the story of Dante (Brian O’Halloran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson). Smith recently detailed its plot.
“Randal has a heart attack, decides that he came so close to death, and his life has meant nothing, there’s nobody to memorialize him, he has no family or anything like that. And in the recovery, while under fentanyl, he comes to the conclusion at mid-life, having almost died, having worked in a movie store his whole life and watched other people’s movies, he tells Dante, I think we need to make a movie. So Dante and Randal make ‘Clerks,’" Smith said. "That’s the story of ‘Clerks 3.” (Sounds kind of like Smith's recent near-death experience, no?)
