- Well, it was only a matter of time before Drew’s Script-O-Rama got a hold of the Dogma Script. Folks who have read it say that it’s genuine and VERY funny, but we refuse to take a look at it until after seeing the flick and recommend that you do the same. However, we decided this IS newsworthy (not to mention you’d probably have found it without us, anyway), so here’s the link to it. Please don’t spoil anything for us, we wanna go in knowing as little as possible when the movie is released next year (we hope!).
Thanks to VioLenT BoB, Justin McGill, and Joel Spurny for making sure that we knew about the script. Truth is, we DID see it go up right away, but were just too tired to update the site with the link. Better late that never though, right?
Wanna know what Kevin thinks about the whole thing?
Everyone assumes I’m in a royal tizzy about this…
I’m not.
The script’s been out there for quite some time. It was inevitable that it’d wind up on Drew’s site.
Do I care? Of course. Would I rather people wait and see the movie? Of course.
But people are naturally curious, so they’ll no-doubt check it out. Does that make me angry? No. Because in the end, more people wil not have read it than will have. Which means that that many more folks will be surprised when the movie comes out.
The only true neg? Fodder for the flamers who now have easy access to the script, and I’m sure will be here to chide me for writing ‘crap’ or something.
But you know what? They’ll be easy to disregard, as it’s the script I’m proudest of. And with all the top-drawer talent on board for far, far less than they’re used to getting paid, they obviously feel the same way.
So will I pitch a fit if people read the script? I haven’t yet – why would I start now. But ask yourself if you want to spoil the complete surprise you’ll be in for when you buy a ticket (or sneak into the theatre) in late ’98.
Makes a LOT of sense to me.
