Dogma may be the ultimate underground classic of the ‘90s, if only because it’s nearly impossible to access the film in the streaming era. According to director Kevin Smith, Dogma’s inaccessibility can be chalked up to ongoing rights issues with Miramax and Harvey Weinstein. This October, however, Smith announced that the dispute had officially been resolved. The new rightsholders are interested in reappraising the film, which featured Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as fallen angels locked out of heaven.
“The company that bought it, we met with them a couple months ago,” Smith told That Hashtag Show. “They were like, ‘Would you be interested in re-releasing it and touring it like you did with your movies?’ I said ‘100%, are you kidding me? Touring a movie that I know people like, and it’s sentimental and nostalgic? We’ll clean up.’”
