http://www.avclub.com/article/kevin-smith-finds-perfect-setting-mallbrats-its-ma-225227 Filming of Mallrats 2 commences in January at MY mall. Pretty surreal. Not sure what the appeal is. While it's a great mall, it's pretty tame. It kind of gives off a "too sterile" vibe and there is essentially no culture to speak of, which makes sense because the whole of Exton, PA is a veritable wasteland of strip malls and shopping centers as far as the eye can see. Almost never see any kids in there. Also, there are barely any elevators to have sex in. I guess in terms of a shooting location it's the perfect blank slate but all of its personality was lost in the redesign in the late 90's.

It seems like regular local stores can't survive the steep rent prices that come with holding a location in a major mall so all the spaces go to huge brand-name stores that you can find everywhere. And stores that used to be considered fringe like Hot Topic and Spencers have more or less entered the mainstream. With malls going mainstream they lost all of the local curiosity and culture that you used to be able to find there, now everybody knows exactly what they're in for when they go to one. The mall they're filming at has both a dental office and a medical practice, Macy's, Sears and Boscov's; all hotbeds of modern youth culture.
