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.”
You’re probably right. Hope you enjoyed the nft movie lmao
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.
Sounds like you are embarrassed that you bought an nft movie. Hope you learned your lesson
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:
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
