  • Dogma will see some coverage on Access Hollywood tonight. No idea what the piece is actually centered on, but the promotion seemed to center around Damon & Affleck’s involvement.
  • If you missed the Conan appearance and want to see a better copy than our RealVideo version above, you can also catch a rerun in most markets at 3:00 ONE WEEK after the original airdate. That means at 3:00 AM NEXT Tuesday, Kev’s show should air. Also, note that Total Request Live will play just twice on Thursday, in the afternoon and the evening, so be sure to tune in or set the VCRs tomorrow for that one.
  • The online webzine, Naked Face, has posted a very nice piece on Dogma’s New York City premiere, including bits from the press conference, the film itself, and more. The magazine covers the NYC scene, in and out.
  • The new issue of Spin (with Beck on the cover) has a page devoted to Dogma. The article is titled “How to make a movie not intended to piss people off”. It lists 8 things in the movie (definitely full of spoilers) that would piss people off, with each one including quotes from Kevin and Scott and a list of potential offendees. We hope to have a transcript soon.
  • Excerpts from Ben Affleck’s Playboy interview can now be found online HERE. The full interview can be read in December’s 1999 Issue of Playboy. Yeah, for once you can actually say you’re buying it for the articles and maybe mean it…sorta.
  • Dwight Ewell, who appears very briefly in Dogma, was recently spotted in a cool clip from his upcoming flick “Man of the Century” on Roger Ebert. We’ll try and dig up some more info on the flick.
  • Sure, she’s got that part in Dogma, but what else has Salma Hayek been up to? Well, we’ll tell ya. She’s just signed on for the starring role in the next Mike Figgis project called “Time Code 2000″ which is described as an intense psychodrama. It involves a woman who wants to begin her life again after killing her physically abusive husband, but years later a group of corrupt cops find out her secret and attempt to blackmail her, so she and her actual psychologist husband try to thwart them. Confused? The interesting thing is that they say the movie will be shot on digital cameras and will involve improvisation by the cast. Sounds intriguing.

Also, she’s just wrapped up filming the crime caper “Chain of Fools”, in which she has the lead role opposite quite a talented cast that includes people such as Steve Zahn, Claudia Schiffer, David Hyde Pierce, Jeff Goldblum, Elijah Wood, Lara Flynn Boyle, Tom Wilkinson and others. It hits theaters this March.
