"Dogma" Re-Release Plans In The Works (www.darkhorizons.com)

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.”

George Carlin is not acting much these days.

George Carlin will be digitally remastered as that AI Will Sasso uses.

And from what I remember, Linda Fiorentino wasn't great to be around.

Now he really is Metatron. :)

Too soon.

It's amazing what CGI makeup can do nowadays.

“The movie has been bought away from the guy that had it for years and whatnot

That's awesome, I think this is one of the ones Weinstein had the rights to. So no one would do anything with it.

[–] Wytch@lemmy.cafe 18 points 1 month ago

I hope it means he sold it because he's slowly going broke and can't hold on to it anymore.

‘We’ll clean up’

And that stupid NFT release

Has he always been like this?

Edit: he hasn’t made a good movie in like 20 years. Too bad yall can’t downvote more than once, suckas

[–] bazus1@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you think that Smith is only motivated by money, I’d like to propose a counterpoint consisting of everything he’s created, produced, directed, and done over the past thirty years.

[+] greenshirtdenimjeans@sh.itjust.works -11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn’t think anything. I asked if he was always like that and all the fanboys got mad.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Was he always like that?" - you did think something. You thought he was some certain way, implicitly everyone assumed you meant "greedy". That was your thought and people disagreed. Sorry if you believed your thought to be some kind of indisputable fact

[+] greenshirtdenimjeans@sh.itjust.works -10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You’re probably right. Hope you enjoyed the nft movie lmao

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Another thought based on something you assume to be true that isn't. Crazy.

I'd never even heard of that movie until this thread.

[+] greenshirtdenimjeans@sh.itjust.works -7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds like you are embarrassed that you bought an nft movie. Hope you learned your lesson

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really don't get your point here. Kevin Smith makes a low budget short film over two years ago and releases it as NFT tokens, and this alone curses his other 14 films, spanning three decades, forever?

I get not liking NFTs, but this is a weird way to cope with the fact that they exist. Kevin Smith was honestly quite rational about this one too, admitting that he had no idea if NFTs were a good idea, and that the project could blow up in his face. He just wanted to see what would happen. With Beeple hauling $69M that same year, I can't blame him that much for the attempt.

And, this is just a nitpick, but your clapback here doesn't even make sense:

Sounds like you are embarrassed that you bought an nft movie.

First, they said they never even heard of this movie until you informed them about it, so kinda weird to conclude that they bought it.

Second, if one just discovered that a movie they bought had been sold via NFT, how would that be embarrassing? If they own it without exchanging crypto, they bought with fiat currency, and really that's a worthwhile slap in the face to the ethos that motivates NFTs.

If anything, grabbing a pirated copy of this film to watch would be a great way to stick it to the crypto bros. I'm gonna do that right now.

Embarrassing for you that you just successfully promoted an NFT movie.

Sounds like someone is upset they didn’t get a fantastic movie on the blockchain

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought Clerks III was pretty good. Dealing with aging, unmet goals, loss, maturity, being comfortable and accepting your life.

[–] greenshirtdenimjeans@sh.itjust.works -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah it was pretty good. My edit was just to troll these fanboys that can’t handle the internet.

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Shit they are coming over to kick our asses
