Clerks III will be Kevin Smith's last writing/directing effort, the filmmaker tweeted on Friday morning.
The 42-year-old director's micro-budgeted breakthrough independent film launched characters Jay and Silent Bob into pop culture and led to four more spinoffs. Minimum-wage earners Randal and Dante were featured in a series of Clerks comics in the late '90s before becoming the focus of a short-lived animated television series in 2000.
