  • Garth Franklin over at Dark Horizons picked Dogma as one of his Top picks for the upcoming Fall movie season:
Dogma (November 12th): Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, the impressive cast list goes on and on. If that’s not enough, its made by the guy responsible for “Clerks” and “Chasing Amy”. Still not enough? Well howabout the fact that several right-wing organisations around the globe plan to protest against it & want it banned, despite the fact its only a movie. Want more? Well if that aint enough how about the fact its just fuckin’ hilarious.

By the way, Garth’s in Australia, and we still haven’t heard about any Australian release date for the film yet. EntertainmentTonight DID air the Dogma footage on today’s edition in Australia, though, so that’s a good sign.

  • Chalk up another newspaper for that Dogma must-see list, too: The Denver Post lists the flick in their 25 must-see movieslist for the fall (though we wonder how many movies are actually getting released in the fall–If we start seeing “The 100Top Movies To See This Fall” type articles, we’re getting skeptical).
  • Remember the very cool Project Pocketwatch, which detailed a growing collection of original artwork based on Kevin’sSuperman Lives script and actor choices? Well, the FINAL SHOT of the project was posted today. Congrats to Pocketwatch ona job well done with all of this. We’re very impressed. It’d be a great time to surf over to the project site and downloadeach picture to save as a collection. We will.
  • On their webpage, the German distribution company Kinowelt has announced that they’d like to distribute Dogma in Julyof 2000. No idea on how legit this is, but those of you in Germany can breathe a sigh of relief in the fact that it lookslike the flick is at least being pursued for a release, and not too far off, either!
  • Dogma UK Release Info: Anyone else noticed that the 26th is a Sunday? Turns out Dogma may NOT hit theaters in the UKon that very day, but possibly the 24th, the Friday before. It’s a confusing time with the holidays and all, but Film Fourhas admitted that nothing was confirmed for either date, but they hoped it would be over the Festive period “some time, possibly before that”. More news as we hear it.
