Dogma 2 could be on the way as the filmmaker has found a way back in to follow up the late '90s smash hit movie.

Kevin Smith is reportedly planning a sequel to one of his biggest movies. Dogma was released all of the way back in 1999 with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck among its cast. Well, it looks like Smith is ready for a follow-up after finding a way in for a new movie.

Deadline reports that Smith is indeed working on a sequel and was speaking over the weekend at Vulture Festival in Los Angeles. “Some people will be like, ‘Don’t f—ing touch it. You’ll ruin it,’” said Smith. “And I’m here to tell you: I will. I’m f—ing tickled. I found a way in.”

What’s more, Smith hopes that Damon and Affleck will also return for Dogma 2, or whatever Smith chooses to call it, as their characters Bartleby and Loki. He added:

“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.”

    Didn’t Loki die? I’m almost certain Bartleby stabbed Loki to death, before Alanis exploded Bartleby’s head by “speaking.”

      It was a film, then I think he tried pitching it as a mini series. Then the talk resumed again as he was going to employ Shannon Dohertys best friend Sarah Michelle Geller to take over the role as a tribute.

      I don’t know where it’s at right now.

    NGL, I haven’t liked any of his dips back into the Jay & Silent Bob world in years, but I’m still going to watch it. I guess I’m like the people that keep watching Fast & Furious movies for inexplicable reasons.

    This sounds like pre-pre-pre-pre-production, not ‘on the way’.

    Time would be better spent getting Dogma on all the streaming services.

      Nah, fuck the streaming services. Get Dogma released as a 1080p Blu-ray. Or, if the film quality allows, a 2160p Blu-ray. None of this digital-first/digital-only BS.

        Digital will be quicker while they do the work on the 1080/4k releases.

        Exclusive releases on streaming or physical copies is bullshit. Everything should be available in all the formats.

      Perhaps abstractly. But not if you are a movie maker who enjoys making movies and isn’t starving.
