- iF Magazine has a cool 3 part interview with Kevin that starts this Friday. It’s all part of their continuing DOGMA coverage (a 2-parter with Chris Rock’s on the way, too). We’ll have the full coverage for you right HERE.
- They’re baaaaaaaaaaaaack. This piece comes from the Hollywood Reporter (E! Online also summarized it):
Even though Disney-owned Miramax Films will not be the company releasing Dogma next week, Disney is still feeling the heat over Kevin Smith’s controversial satire of Catholicism. The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights said it has collected nearly 300,000 signatures as part of its crusade against what it terms anti-Catholic depictions in the media. The league this week began shipping Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner the results of its four-month petition drive calling on the studio to sever its ties with Miramax. Disney spokesman John Dreyer said, “We plan to keep Miramax.†“There has never been any intent on the part of the company to denigrate any individual or organization,†Dreyer added. Representatives for Miramax declined comment. Dogma, starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as fallen angels, is slated for release by Lions Gate on Nov. 12.
- A small, but positive review appears in the new Marie Claire Magazine:
- Pittsburgh’s local NBC affilate, Channel 11, mentioned Dogma on the 6pm news last night. Just a brief piece mentioned that it was filmed there. They had a local film critic talk about it (he said it was good). Strangely, they also claimed that no footage had been released, so they only showed some poor black and white pictures (Matt and Ben in the airport). The flick plays the Pittsburgh Film Festival tomorrow and Pitt on Saturday.
- A quirky little site called HollywoodJesus.com has got its own Dogma page and – seemingly – the creators of the site are looking forward to the movie! More HERE.
- The new LA Weekly has a two page ad for Dogma; One page for the soundtrack and the other page containing a different poster image, like the version b at the official site, exept the characters are stacked in a pyramid and there are 4 reviews along side the cast, including a new one from the LA Weekly, which calls the movie “Sexy and hilarious. One of the years most exciting moviesâ€.
- The Popcorn website has been keeping track of Dogma’s progress for its impending UK release. This short blurb also has links to some of their earlier coverage.
- There’s an interview in GQ Magazine with Kevin this month, though the title we heard led us to believe it’s the same piece as in George. Can anyone verify? If it’s new, please send us a transcript for posting!
