Originally posted by: DrVenkmanUniversal want to release a new 'Dogma' set next year, reinserting a few of the deleted scenes AND they want to give Smith the money to finish a few that require SFX. It's pretty interesting though, 'Mallrats' only came about because the title was withdrawn and when Smith asked why, they told him it was because they were going to re-issue a lot of their best-selling titles, and 'Mallrats' was among them. They also made it clear that they were going to release the set with or without his help. They've also said the same thing about 'Dogma' - It's up to him if he wants to participate, but they're going to release it regardless...
This cannot be entirely true seeing as Universal does not own Dogma. It is a co-production between Lionsgate and Columbia, and it was released through Sony, who controls the DVD rights. As plenty of people have said I imagine now that Smith has done his Clerks X and Mallrats 10th Anniversary discs that Sony will be willing to wait for Smith before cranking out another DVD set -- and given that they released Panic Room and Black Hawk Down, while it may be unneccessary, we might get a 3-discer again.I imagine there isn't much in it, but I also was hearing about an American Pie workprint, and also a Hard Target workprint that restores a lot of John Woo action. And I would certainly be all over Darkman. I can't believe Universal hasn't done an SE with the TV show pilot, audio commentary and perhaps even as a "director's cut" with some of the deleted scenes Bruce mentions in his book restored given that Raimi has made Spider-Man into a huge franchise.
