WHOA! Clerks II Moved Up to Avoid Snakes on a Plane!
HAHAHAHAHA. This is too funny. Snakes on a Blog has all the details, but here's a snippet from Kevin Smith himself:
Why the move? Getting into Cannes changed everything. Since the film will have its world debut on May 26th, the Weinstein folks thought it’d make more sense to get the film out there sooner, rather than later. They found a weekend in which there wasn’t any flick that directly compete with the movie for an audience, and staked their claim.
The emphasis was added by the blogger, not me. Still, it's damned hi-larious. :)
