GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Writer and director Kevin Smith is coming to Grand Rapids to show his latest film Clerks III. GLC Live at 20 Monroe will be hosting “Clerks III: The Convenience Tour” on Saturday, October 15.

Clerks III brings back Brian O’Halloran as Dante Hicks, Jeff Anderson as Randal Graves, Rosario Dawson as Becky Scott, Trevor Fehrman as Elias Grover, and Jason Mewes as Jay. Smith will also reprise the role of Silent Bob. In the film, Dante and Randal are still working at the Quick Stop, which they bought at the end of 2006’s Clerks II. While at the Quick Stop, Randal has a heart attack. Later at the hospital, he tells Dante that he has decided to make a movie about their lives working in a convenience store.
