  • Kevin’s doing some Canadian promotion yet again! This Friday, he’s scheduled to be coming in for the Humble & Fred show on 102.1 fm (CFNY, Edge 102). The show airs early, between 5 am and 9:20 am, and is available online in Real audio, so get those work PC’s with the headphones hooked up! You can access the feed HERE.
  • Two new Dogma summaries have appeared in the media…The first comes from the Toronto Sun, with locations and showtimes for the flick and a few words:
Dogma: Sept. 11, 9:15 p.m., Uptown1; Sept 13, 9:15 a.m., Cumberland 2 – A trash talking 13th Apostle, an abortion nurse of miraculous background, a “buddy Christ,” vengeful angels and a giant poop monster: they’re all grist for the mill of Kevin Smith, who vowed the 1994 fest with Clerks. His satire on Catholicism isn’t the blasphemy the righteous fear; it’s frequently funny, more often silly and occasionally, right on the mark.

Also, the St. Louis Post chose Dogma as one of the films most worth seeing this fall, but also cited fears of it not havinga large opening (though we’ve heard otherwise):

“Dogma” — Even though this film is slated for November release, don’t expect it to play in St. Louis then, or possibly at all. Why, you ask? Not only is it controversial, it’s got a descendant of Christ working in an abortion clinic. Written and directed by Kevin Smith (”Clerks,” “Chasing Amy”), the story tells of a reluctant savior (Linda Fiorentino) trying to stop the scamming of renegade angels (pals Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, reunited for the first time since “Good Will Hunting”).

The film had been made for Miramax, which is owned by Disney, but was sold to distributor Lions Gate when it looked as if it would create some problems. Oh, one other thing: Alanis Morissette plays God. Now isn’t that ironic?”

  • We’ve added a new fan-made Dogma teaser poster as well as a pic from that Toronto Star piece over in our Dogma picture gallery at RC.

That’s about it, really…Exciting day though! That was actually OUR first look at the final Dogma trailer ourselves, andwe’re impressed! It’ll definitely do great things for the film. It’s been over a year (believe it or not) since we firstlaid eyes on the workprint, so seeing the final product is something we’re highly anticipating. ‘Til next time…
