- The latest story from the forefront of DVD websites, the Digital Bits, comes word that the “Judge Not” documentary will not make the release this June, due to a disagreement with Buena Vista over its content. That was the last we’d heard, as well, though we were hopeful that things could have been worked out. It seems now that this will not be so.
We’ve gotten word from a retailer that Columbia TriStar’s long-awaited Dogma: Special Edition has finally been rescheduled for June 26th (we’ve confirmed this as accurate with the studio). Note that the disc will NOT include the controversial documentary, the content of which caused Buena Vista (the licensee of the film) to halt Columbia’s initial release. But we’re hearing through the grapevine that Kevin Smith himself now has possession of the documentary, and has plans to make it available elsewhere, possibly online.
Let’s hope that Kevin and Scott can come to some sort of agreement so that JM’s documentary can see the light of day SOMEWHERE, whether it be at a Vulgarthon, a future View Askew DVD project, or maybe right here on the web at News Askew. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we have learned more. For now, assume that documentary is going to be, sadly, missing from the Special Edition this summer. Believe us, this isn’t a ploy to come out with a super-special edition DVD down the line. Everyone had really been fighting to get the documentary included.
