BBG News

Among Kevin Smith‘s works, “Dogma” stands out as a unique piece, and fans are thrilled that the filmmaker has started working on a follow-up. Having previously created sequels for “Clerks” and “Jay and Silent Bob: Strike Back”, Smith is now developing “Dogma 2”. After being held by Miramax for years, the rights to the movie have been secured. Details about this project are being tightly guarded, but it’s clear that Smith feels the weight of expectation to make it a success.

Kevin Smith discussed his upcoming re-release of the film “Dogma” with Screen Rant, expressing the weight of fan expectations for a potential “Dogma 2”. He stated, “I can’t afford to tarnish a ‘Dogma’ spinoff. Too many people adore this movie, so I can’t recreate that film because I don’t have the same conviction.” The director is renowned for acknowledging his own mistakes, and he understands that fans are quick to criticize online. “I want to comfort those ‘Dogma’ fans who worry, ‘He’s going to mess it up,’ and ‘I hated Clerks 3!’

Although Kevin Smith may have shifted his religious views since creating the original work, the director has not let this hinder him from jotting down ideas to navigate his current spiritual dilemma. As he put it, “Just like they say in the film, ‘I don’t hold those beliefs anymore,’ I’ve got some intriguing concepts.” He added, “It may not carry the conviction of the original, but what it lacks in religious fervor, I’ve found, is compensated by sheer ingenuity.

‘Dogma’s Re-Release Has Helped Kevin Smith Write the Sequel

After breaking free from Miramax’s control, Kevin Smith is embarking on a nationwide tour for the film “Dogma”, showing it in packed theaters across the United States. This not only allows fans to enjoy the movie on the big screen but also serves as a way for Smith to re-evaluate his perspective towards “Dogma” as he works on the sequel. He stated, “The tour has been more beneficial than simply basking in its success. I’ve been listening and jotting down ideas, such as jokes that could be carried over, connections I can make, and elements I can resolve in the next movie.

As of now, there’s no confirmed release date for Dogma 2. Since Kevin Smith is still refining the script, it’s uncertain if he has set a deadline before filming begins. Nevertheless, rest assured that once Dogma 2 hits theaters, fans of the original will find themselves saying, “Ah, of course! That fits perfectly as the Dogma sequel.
