In a recent interview with That Hashtag Show, Smith was promoting the VOD release of his “The 4:30 Movie” and was asked about the status of “Dogma”. He says plans are afoot for the release:
“The movie has been bought away from the guy that had it for years and whatnot. The company that bought it, we met with them a couple months ago.
They were like, ‘Would you be interested in re-releasing it and touring it like you did with your movies?’ I said ‘100 percent, are you kidding me? Touring a movie that I know people like, and it’s sentimental and nostalgic? We’ll clean up.’
Right now, 2024 is our 25th anniversary this year. November is when we came out. I think 2025 it looks like is when the movement is going to happen there. Back on home video, then back out in theaters, and I’ll tour it.”
Smith also teased a follow-up could be in the cards:
“Maybe, at this point, sequels, TV versions, in terms of extending the story. Something we could never do before. So exciting man. And all those people who worked in it are still viable.”
I will defend everything he made Clerks(1994) through Red State(2011) everything after that was him having fun making movies because he could with mixed results.
Eh, I have trouble with Mallrats. Kinda hard to like a movie where the protagonists save the day by showing child porn to a crowded mall.
