‘Dogma’ Has Risen: The Cult Classic Returns After 25 Years in Limbo
Kevin Smith’s ‘Dogma’, a sharp religious satire that sparked controversy upon its 1999 release, is returning to theaters in a 4K restoration after years of being tied up in a legal battle over ownership.

Joseph Tralongo is a playwright and screenwriter who approaches storytelling with a deep respect for film’s ability to distill human behavior into meaningful moments.

Hollywood Insider’s mission to champion substance over spectacle aligns with Joseph’s belief that storytelling should investigate, not dictate.
