Sequel to the 90's cult classic

In his post, Kevin Smith said that 2019 was one of the best years of his life and had given him incredible joy. He stated that 2019 was the year that his career was cemented at the Chinese Theatres and also by the fact that the movie Clerks was accepted into the library of Congress. 

Because of the reasons listed above, Kevin Smith believes that it will be hard for 2020 to beat 2019 but he was off to a fun start with a new script for Twilight of the Mallrats and was also writing a script for the 2020s and was thus excited to see which would be his first film of the new decade.
