Kevin Smith Revives Dogma With 4K Reissue and Sequel Script Underway

He says his lapsed faith now guides the new story.

Overview

  • A 25th‑anniversary Blu‑ray and 4K UHD edition is out now after Smith regained control of the film’s rights and completed a 2025 screening tour.
  • Smith confirms he is actively writing a Dogma follow‑up, positioning it around themes of lost belief rather than devotion.
  • He names Austin Butler as his ideal Devil for the sequel and describes a grunge‑rock take on the character, though no casting is confirmed.
  • Smith recently spoke with Ben Affleck about Dogma during a separate meeting at Artists Equity, but no attachments or deals are in place.
  • Looking back on the 1999 release, Smith recalls massive backlash, including hundreds of thousands of angry letters and three credible death threats.
