Kevin Smith Is Developing DOGMA 2 with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Possibly Returning
Kevin Smith has revealed that he is developing a sequel to his classic 1999 comedy Dogma. He made the announcement at his Dogma Confessional on Sunday at Vulture Festival, which marked the 25th anniversary of Dogma.
We also actually might see Ben Affleck and Matt Damon reprise their roles as Bartleby and Loki in the film!
Smith said: “Some people will be like, ‘Don’t f—ing touch it. You’ll ruin it, and I’m here to tell you: I will. I’m f—ing tickled. I found a way in.”
The filmmaker seems very confident that Affleck and Damon would reprise their roles, and he brought up the fact that he helped save Affleck and Damon’s 1997 film Good Will Hunting, without so much as a thank you in their Golden Globes and Oscars speeches, ao they owe him.
He went on to say: “I have been able to hold that over both their heads for 25 f—ing years, which is why they keep showing up in all the movies.
“Expect a cameo from them — more than a f—ing cameo. The only way we get a Dogma sequel made is if they’re there. So count on those guys being there.”
The original film follows two fallen angels, Loki (Damon) and Bartleby (Affleck), who are banished from Heaven and seek to return by exploiting a loophole in Catholic dogma. If they succeed, however, they will undo all of existence.
To stop them, a group of unlikely heroes assembles, including a reluctant abortion clinic worker named Bethany (Linda Fiorentino), who is the last scion of Christ’s bloodline, and two prophets, Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith).
It will be interesting to see what kind of story Smith came up with for the sequel! Are you excited to hear that Smith is making a sequel to Dogma?
