Dogma Cast: Everything You Need to Know About the 1999 Fantasy Comedy Film

Published

on

Dogma Cast: Kevin Smith directed and starred in Dogma (1999). This American fantasy comedy film marked his fourth View Askewniverse movie and fourth film overall. Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, George Carlin, Linda Fiorentino, Janeane Garofalo, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, Salma Hayek Bud Cort Alan Rickman Alanis Morissette and Jason Mewes also made appearances. It won three Academy Awards(r) for best picture.

Bartleby (Affleck) and Loki (Damon) are two fallen angels who plot to use an obscure loophole in Catholic dogma in order to return to Heaven after having been banished by God. Along their path they encounter Bethany (Fiorentino), an abortion clinic worker chosen by the voice of God (Morissette) to stop them; she’s joined in this mission by two prophets – Jay Mewes (Mewes) and Silent Bob Smith (Smith), 13th Apostle Rufus Rock (Rock) as well as Muse Serendipity Hayek).

Dogma caused considerable controversy even before its opening, drawing denouncements by Catholic leaders such as the Catholic League as being offensive to faith and church alike, prompting organized protests that delayed its release across many countries and resulted in at least two death threats against Smith1. Yet critics largely welcomed it; grossing $44 million against its $10 million budget, making Dogma one of the highest grossing films from View Askewniverse series to date.

What are some interesting facts about Dogma?

Here are some interesting facts about Dogma:

  • Due to mounting pressure from religious groups and critics, Disney decided to sell the film instead to Lions Gate Films for $12 Million – which had originally planned on being distributed through Miramax as planned. Due to controversy and pressure from Smith and producer Scott Mosier purchasing and then selling their own copy for just one dollar and then selling to Lions Gate later on.
  • Smith initially considered Emma Thompson for the part, but due to her pregnancy she declined. Smith then considered Holly Hunter, Gillian Anderson and Sheryl Lee before ultimately choosing Alanis Morissette who was an admirer of his films.
  • Bethany was initially written for Joey Lauren Adams from Smith’s previous film Chasing Amy; however, she declined due to feeling it too similar to her character from that film.
