Chalk this up to news you probably won't like but against better judgement, but the powers that be have decided it necessary to make a sequal to "Donnie Darko". The movie will be titled "S. Darko" and--get this--will not include Jake Gyllenhaal or the orginal's director Richard Kelly. Now this might not be the worst idea in cinema history, but I can't see how this is going to end well. Maybe I'm overracting...let's look at the plot of "S. Darko":
"S. Darko takes place seven years after the original film. It follows Donnie Darko's younger sister, Samantha, ( Daveigh Chase, reprising her role from the original) on a road trip to Los Angeles, in which she is plagued by a series of bizarre visions."
Ugh. The plot screams "direct to dvd". The movie hasn't started filming yet, it's scheduled to begin in lat May, so there's still a chance it gets shelved in favor of "American Beauty 2: The Revenge"...we can only hope.
