Kevin Smith‘s 1999 fantasy comedy “Dogma,” starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as two fallen angels plotting their return to heaven, is getting a theatrical rerelease on June 5, in honor of its 25th anniversary.
Ahead of the June rerelease, Smith will also embark on a national tour, hosting screenings of the movie and participating in Q&As in 25 U.S. cities. He’ll appear at the Grove in Los Angeles on April 20, which, in addition to being 4/20, is also Easter Sunday.
Iconic Events is distributing the rerelease after acquiring the rights to the film from Miramax. “Dogma” has never been available on streaming, and the scarcity of physical copies made the film somewhat of a cult classic. It’s the fourth film in Smith’s View Askewniverse series, and the highest-grossing of the bunch, which also includes “Clerks” and “Mallrats.”
“Dogma” also starred Linda Fiorentino, Chris Rock, Jason Mewes and Smith himself.
“Bless me, Father — for I have cinema! God bless iconic events for granting my fourth (and perhaps best) film a religious re-release! Praise the Lord and pass the popcorn for the second coming of ‘Dogma’!” said Smith in a statement.
He added, “Blessed are they who come in the name of the tour. See you in Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas, Houston, Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Tampa and Orlando, before wrapping up at my movie theater, Smodcastle Cinemas in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. But if you miss the tour, thank Heavens you can see the flick at a near you on June 5th!”
Mark Rupp, CFO/COO and co-founder of Iconic Events Releasing, added “‘Dogma’ holds a special place in my heart and I’m thrilled that fans will once again get to see it the way it was meant to be experienced — on the big screen.”
