Overview

  • Iconic Events and filmmaker Alessandra Williams have remastered Dogma in 4K and rolled it out across 1,500 AMC Theatres after Williams bought the film from Miramax decades after it was shelved by Harvey Weinstein.
  • Anniversary screenings have sold out nationwide and featured lively Q&As, with no protests or threats following the 1999 release controversies.
  • Smith reports he has "cracked the story" for Dogma2 after six months of preliminary work and is now writing the screenplay.
  • He plans to reserve roles for surviving original cast members—from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to Jason Mewes—while ensuring the plot can proceed without any specific character.
  • Inspired by a standing ovation at the Cannes Classics screening in May, Smith aims to debut Dogma2 at the festival’s 80th or 81st edition.
