Here's a message that I received at 0700 hours this morning... by 0930 hours, there was a report on NEWSASKEW in my email saying... basically the same thing... It looks like Bob and Harvey still have a nice firm ballsack and haven't been coerced by THE DISNEY CORPORATION. One way or another they'll release DOGMA, they believe so firmly in the film that they actually bought the negative from DISNEY and will release the film from another distribution company. YEA! Happy Happy Joy Joy... Now we need only wait for a release date!
Harry-san,
There's going to be a press release circulated later today (or early tomorrow) which announces that Harvey and Bob Weinstein are buying the negative to 'Dogma' back from Disney. Apparently, the film's too much for Disney to handle, and they want to avoid the wrath of the Catholic League (an organization that's attacked Disney in the past for their same-sex health benefits amongst other things). The plan now is to perhaps release the film through either Universal or Paramount (the homes of Miramax co-productions 'Shakespeare in Love' and 'The Talented Mister Ripley', respectively).
Call me Cromwell.
