The guy just could not make up his mind.

Until now, that is, as Smith revealed on his Twitter feed that he has finally begun writing "Clerks III" — and it's being staged as a reality dance competition.

Just kidding, it's going to be a movie. Get More »

That new film, Smith's take on religious backwoods horror called "Red State," was originally scheduled to be auctioned off, then the director announced he would self-distribute, and finally settled on Lionsgate releasing it on Video-On-Demand and DVD. Get More »
