Kevin Smith sits down for an exclusive interview with Flickering Myth’s EJ Moreno…
How is it possible that Dogma was already 25 years ago? Kevin Smith is overjoyed by the passage of time, regarding it as propelling his current projects. That hit of nostalgia gets us all going as we head towards whatever else the wild mind of Smith can concoct. Is it possible that the new project, as we advance, is a new entry into the Jay & Silent Bob franchise? It seems so, as cult classic filmmaker teases near the end of our interview that celebrates the release of Kevin Smith’s Dogma: Resurrected.
During our nearly twenty-minute conversation, which you’ll be able to find in full below, Smith gushes over his all-star cast for Dogma. From Alan Rickman to Alanis Morissette, there’s no shortage of stars, and it’s wild to have this caliber of talent so early in the career of Kevin Smith.
None of that seems to pass the filmmaker by, as Smith talks about where he is in his career and how it feels to be someone who straddles the past and present of filmmaking.
