Kevin Smith Lifts the Lid on Long-Awaited Dogma Sequel
Kevin Smith is finally moving forward with Dogma 2, but he's in no hurry to finish the project. Find out what’s been holding things up and what fans can expect next.
For years, fans have been hanging out for a follow-up to Kevin Smith’s cult classic, Dogma. The original film, with its sharp wit and irreverent take on faith, has built a loyal following since its release. Now, after a lengthy stretch caught up in legal wrangling, Smith is finally making headway on a sequel. But if you’re expecting a quick turnaround, you might want to settle in for a bit longer.
Legal Hurdles and a Slow Burn
Dogma’s journey back to the big screen hasn’t been straightforward. The rights to the film have been tangled up for years, leaving Smith unable to move forward. Only recently have things started to shift, giving him the green light to start planning the next chapter. Even so, Smith isn’t rushing the process. He’s taking his time, making sure everything lines up before cameras start rolling.
In a recent chat with MovieWeb, Smith opened up about the drawn-out process.
He explained that the sequel has been in the works for ages, but he’s not in a hurry to get it done.
The filmmaker seems keen to get it right, rather than just get it done.
Fans’ Patience and Smith’s Approach
Smith knows punters have been waiting a long time for news. The original film struck a chord with locals and international audiences alike, so expectations are sky-high. Still, he’s not letting the pressure rush him. Instead, he’s focused on crafting a story that lives up to the original’s reputation.
He’s also aware that the landscape has changed since Dogma first hit screens. The world’s a different place, and Smith wants to make sure the sequel feels fresh while still capturing the spirit of the first film. That means taking the time to get the script and cast just right, rather than cutting corners for the sake of speed.
What’s Next for Dogma 2?
While there’s no firm release date on the horizon, Smith’s commitment to the project is clear. He’s determined to bring Dogma 2 to life, but only when the timing and circumstances are spot on. For now, fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for updates and trust that the wait will be worth it.
With the legal issues finally easing up and Smith’s steady hand at the wheel, the much-anticipated sequel is inching closer to reality. It might not be hitting cinemas tomorrow, but the wheels are definitely in motion.
