Dogma
Kevin Smith saysDogma 2will never hap . While Smith has become in person famous for many matter , few of his work as a filmmaker have inspired as much discussion and debate as 1999’sDogma . The fourth moving picture in Smith ’s View Askewniverse , Dogmais largely unlike anything else that the managing director has made , a trait that took many fan aback at the time of its release . While not a big smasher financially , Dogmareceived honest inspection from critic than many of Smith ’s other films , and has since bring in a declamatory cult following .
Featuring perhaps the most eclectic cast in the history of Smith ’s career , Dogmaprimarily focalize on Bethany Sloane ( Linda Fiorentino ) , who is - initially unbeknownst to her - the last descendent of Jesus Christ . Bethany is tax by God ’s spokesman Metatron ( Alan Rickman ) with preventing banished angel Bartleby ( Ben Affleck ) and Loki ( Matt Damon ) from using a religious loophole to overrule God and reenter Heaven , thus proving the all-powerful fallible and ending all of existence . Accompanying her on this quest are regular Smith character Jay and Silent Bob . Chris Rock , Salma Hayek , Jason Lee , and George Carlin also asterisk .
While some fans have long need a follow - up toDogma , there ’s never been any real forward impulse towards getting one made , outdoors of a well - known online post that Smith made back in 2005 . In that post , Smith break aDogmasequel melodic theme he had first think of after the 9/11 terrorist attacks , which would have feature the apocalypse in the third act . At the time though , Smith also expressed hesitation about making the idea a world . Smith has n’t really said much more about a potentialDogmasequel since then , but during a Q&A session bear to begin with today at New York Comic - Con , the director firmly exclude the door on the possibility of one happening .
" Fuck no . I do n’t intend we require a Dogma 2 . And I am certain as shit not going near any religious movies at this dot . "
Well , it does n’t get much more definitive than that . Smith distinctly has no current plan to ever continueDogma’sstory with a sequel . Does that needs guarantee a sequel will never occur ? No , if only because at 47 - years - old , Smith is still a relatively young man , and could conceivably change his mind about the prospect at some distant spot in the future . For evidence , one need only look at how many sequels finish up happen multiple decades after the original . That say , fans apparently should n’t string up their hopes on that outside possibility . For now , Dogma 2 is dead .
In some style , perhaps it ’s in effect for everyone thatDogma 2isn’t happening . After all , the now croak Rickman gave one of the most entertaining performance in the original flick , and it ’s hard to imagine a sequel without him . Also , late film history is litter with comedy continuation that failed to catch the conjuring trick of the original , such asDumb and Dumber ToandAnchorman 2.While there ’s patently no guarantee that aDogma 2would fail to survive up to the first film , it ’s decidedly potential . With that in creative thinker , it might be right to leave well enough alone .
