Donnie Darko 2 ?
 
say it isn't so

Quote:

A sequel to cult film classic Donnie Darko is in the works.
The title of the sequel is S. Darko and it starts shooting on May 18th.
Daviegh Chase will reprise her role as Donnie's younger sister. The cast for S. Darko also includes Ed Westwick (Gossip Girls' Chuck Bass!), Briana Evigan (Step Up 2) and Justin Chatwin (Dragon Ball).
The story picks up seven years after the first film (and Donnie's death) when little sister Samantha Darko and her best friend Corey are now 18 and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions.
There's no Donnie at all in the new film (sorry Jake Gyllenhaal fans), but there will be meteorites and rabbits.
We really wish they would've left Darko alone.

good luck to those suckers. they're gonna need it.

atsonicpark 05.09.2008 01:48 PM

that sounds horrible.

they're also making a crank 2.

jon boy 05.09.2008 01:49 PM

they are also making terminator 4.

Sonic Youth 37 05.09.2008 01:56 PM

That's horrible! Can't Hollywood leave single movies alone? Why does every fuckining thing have to have a sequel. Damn! And this was one movie that DIDN'T need a fucking sequel.

davenotdead 05.09.2008 02:01 PM

ugh... indiana jones

Everyneurotic 05.09.2008 02:29 PM

Justin Chatwin (Dragon Ball).

i hate the first one with every inch of my being.

Rob Instigator 05.09.2008 02:55 PM

me tooo! what a fucking stupid stupid self-important fucking one dimensional, goddamn cliche angst piece of SHIT

what a fucking stupid stupid movie. I wish all involved were dead.

EW!

LifeDistortion 05.09.2008 03:45 PM

And a "Batman Begins 2" can you believe....oh wait, we like that don't we? Just comes to show not all sequels are terrible. DD2 will go straight to DVD, I just don't see it coming out in theatres.

screamingskull 05.09.2008 03:46 PM

i liked Die Hard 4, that was pretty good! better than Die Hard 3, man that was shite!

✌➬ 05.09.2008 03:46 PM

I don't really care for sequels, but Donnie Darko sucked ass.

Rob Instigator 05.09.2008 03:52 PM

it is NOT batman Begins 2

these movies are based on Frank Miller's comics Year One and Year Two, that detail the beginning of the caped crusader's vigilante vendetta.

comparing that to a donnie darko two is like saying empires strikes back is just star wars II

radarmaker 05.09.2008 03:54 PM

I really shouldn't be surprised. Just disappointed, I guess. Kinda like life in general then.

✌➬ 05.09.2008 03:56 PM

I thought the Empire Strikes Back was Star Wars II. Who knew.

haaa haa haaaa

haaaa haaaa haaaa haaaaaa

man you've got an awesome way of saying shit-- not that i necessarily agree with what you say, it's just the way you say it ha ha ha. excellent.

atsonicpark 05.09.2008 03:57 PM

This thread got really lame really quickly.

atsonicpark 05.09.2008 03:58 PM

Oh, and I hardly think donnie darko is a cult film..

A cult film is something like visions of suffering, begotten, id, stuff like that -- only like 500 people have watched those movies! Donnie Darko.. everyone has at least HEARD OF IT, though only, you know, a couple MILLION have actually seen it.

✌➬ 05.09.2008 04:00 PM

Donnie Darko is such a trite movie, I can't believe people actually like it.

Strong DVD sales led Newmarket Films to release a "Directors Cut" on DVD in 2005. Bob Berney, President of Newmarket Films, described the film as "a runaway hit on DVD," citing US sales of more than $10 million.

i actually found it mildly entertaining and aesthetically pleasing, but not mind blowing as many people found it-- probably because i am in the habit of reading since i was 3 years of age and i don't find these kind of scenarios "surprising" in any way. what i mean to say is that i didn't suffer when i watched it, and i don't need to see it again, but i can see how this can be "wow, maaaaan, that's deeeep" for some people-- whatever.

Yeah it is no Borges. This summer I promise to read his book, I kind of stopped because of school.

YES BUT WITH AMY SMART AND BAI LING.

radarmaker 05.09.2008 04:09 PM

Mind, that director's cut was a fucking travesty. How can you possibly get rid of The Killing Moon from the opening sequence? There was no conceivable better introduction to a film that's all about echoes & bunnymen...

all I know is that my brotyher, 33 years old, enjoys watching cartoons and that he has mentioned dragonball as one, I don;t wanna know more or what specifically a dragon ball is.

make your own entertainment!

sonic youth is entertainment!

Everyneurotic 05.09.2008 04:30 PM

nah, sy is more than that.

pbradley 05.09.2008 08:42 PM

Donnie Darko is one of those films that often inspires a number of students to take philosophy on as a major. Eventually they realize that philosophy isn't all watching "far out" movies or whatever and become social science majors or something.

I hate those people.

batreleaser 05.09.2008 08:57 PM

donnie darko is the dumbest movie ever

batreleaser 05.09.2008 09:01 PM

its one of those movies and you catch what it means, and youre like all those lead ups and hints and puzzles and clures for THAT! a fucking time portal! and everything is normal again! pretty much everything i hate in a movie; pretentious, trying too hard to be hip, and utterly pointless. id rather watch the sillieest dumbest will farrel movie outthere a million times over than watch donnie darko once more.


the worst is kids who think theyre into "hip and experimental" movies and love this, then you ask them what their favorite cronenberg is and theyre like "huh, whos that, ur a wierdo".

EMMAh 05.09.2008 09:08 PM

I think I'll pass on this...

pbradley 05.09.2008 09:20 PM

The whole pretension of the film is around the fact that it is aware of its own deus ex machina. As though being aware of contrivance will excuse contrivance.

Also predestination paradox is not all that original in science fiction.

ALIEN ANAL 05.09.2008 10:12 PM

this just like American Psycho 2 or butterfly affect 2

it really isnt a part of the first film and best go ignored

and rob it seems that the dark knight is more based off of the long halloween not year 2.

and i enjoyed donnie darko a whole lot

krastian 05.10.2008 12:49 PM

Donnie Darko is one of the most "overrated" movies in the history of the universe.

pbradley 05.10.2008 12:51 PM

I like to watch Donnie Darko and Garden State back to back.

While I crochet.

Everyneurotic 05.10.2008 02:01 PM

now, the thought of garden state 2 would surely mean the apocalypse.
