Beloved director Kevin Smith is a huge music fan and more specifically, he’s a fan of My Chemical Romance.
The director and film writer hosts a podcast called Fatman Beyond and in a recent episode he reveals a My Chemical Romance song as the one he would be most likely to turn into a film.

In the new episode titled “Live From The Quarantina,” he and co-host Marc Bernardin talk about how the COVID-19 coronavirus is impacting the entertainment industry and the entire world among other things.
A fan-submitted question poses if Smith could take any song and make a film based on its lyrics, which would it be and what would the plot be. From there, he has some words that will make My Chemical Romance fans pretty stoked.
“‘Welcome To The Black Parade’ by My Chemical Romance, MCR. Such an epic song. I’m building Clerks 3 around that song so this is actually a great question for me right now.”
In case you forgot, it was revealed back in October that Smith was tapping Gerard Way to score the upcoming third Clerks film.
According to Slash Film, writer and director Kevin Smith revealed the news while currently on the road promoting the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.
Per /Film reader Mario R, Smith stated that Gerard Way would be scoring Clerks 3.
The news follows Smith announcing the once-dead movie would be getting revived and was currently in development. You can see his post about that below.

Prior to these recent connections between Smith and Gerard, he interviewed both of the Way brothers on his SModcast years ago. All three are from New Jersey so they share some commonalities beyond their general interests. You can check out his interview with them below.
You can hear the quote about the My Chemical Romance song around 116:30 into the podcast.
