Kevin Smith’s Dogma returns to UK & Irish cinemas this November

Vertigo Releasing has announced the long-awaited return of Dogma to UK and Irish cinemas on 7th November in a stunning 4K restoration to mark its 25th anniversary. Originally released in 1999, writer & director Kevin Smith unleashed this sharp, irreverent religious satire that sparked conversation, controversy, and cult fandom around the world. Featuring an all-star cast including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino, Alan Rickman, Salma Hayek, Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Chris Rock, and George Carlin.

In the remastered 4K edition, DOGMA (now coined DOGMA: REESURRECTED) reintroduces audiences to the story of Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon), two banished angels who seek to exploit a theological loophole and return to Heaven – thereby inadvertently nullifying all of existence. A reluctant abortion clinic worker Bethany (Linda Fiorentino) is tasked with stopping them, guided by a heavenly host that includes the last scion of Christ, a muse, a pair of prophets, and the voice of God.

Prepare thyself for the second coming…and watch the trailer below.

The film premiered Out of Competition at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival and returned to the Croisette in 2025 as part of the prestigious Cannes Classics section. The UK & Irish remaster marks the first time DOGMA will return to cinemas in decades, as well as the first time the title will be shown in 4K format.

After a sold-out North American Q&A tour with Kevin Smith and Smodco, DOGMA: RESURRECTED, A 25th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION was released theatrically in the U.S. on 1500+ screens on 5th June via Iconic Events, View Askew Productions, and Triple Media Film. International sales are repped by Goodfellas.
