He even called his first three films &#8211; <strong>Clerks<\/strong>, <strong>Mallrats<\/strong> and <strong>Chasing Amy<\/strong> &#8211; as his &#8220;Jersey Trilogy&#8221;, before the number of interconnected films reached six.<\/p>\n<p>So it does come as a bit of a surprise that his forthcoming <strong>Clerks III<\/strong> will not be shooting in the environs of Red Bank that Smith has previously used but instead will go into production in the next state over &#8211; Pennsylvania. Smith tweeted earlier today &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shot Jersey Girl in PHILADELPHIA in &#39;02.

In addition to partly shooting <strong>Jersey Girl<\/strong> in Philadelphia, he also shot a portion of his religious satire <strong>Dogma<\/strong> and the entirety of the comedy <strong>Jack And Miri Make A Porno<\/strong> in Pittsburgh. (And tangentially, <strong>Clerks<\/strong> co-star Brian O&#8217;Halloran appeared in a sequence in M. Night Shayalaman&#8217;s <strong>The Happening<\/strong> shot outside of Philadelphia in Valley Forge.)<\/p>\n<p>The reason for the change in filming locations? Purely economic according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/pittsburgh\/news\/2015\/03\/11\/exclusive-smith-opts-to-make-clerks-3-in.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Business Times<\/a> &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development has allocated a film tax credit for $2.11 million for the production of <strong>Clerks III<\/strong>, which slated to shoot in Philadelphia. On March 9, the Greater Philadelphia Film Office issued a crew call for <strong>Clerks III<\/strong> indicating the production is expected to take five weeks and begin shooting in Philly in early June.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While this is exciting news for Smith fans who live in the Philadelphia area (and those of us a short drive away), I dare say that the director is not abandoning New Jersey entirely. If there are some scenes set within the actual iconic Quick Stop, I can guarantee you that he will head back to Red Bank to shoot there.
