Donnie Darko 2: Blasphemous!!!

5/09/2008 1:03 PM ET | Filed under: Jake Gyllenhaal • Film Flickers

A sequel to cult film classic Donnie Darko is in the works.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!

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.

What are YOUR thoughts on the sequel?

I didn't really understand why everyone liked the 1st one so much. It was alright, after a few blunts and a bong rip, but really I don't care. I do think that sequels always suck

you gotta be kidding me???? What is it with Hollywood and not leaving well enough alone!!! Get some original ideas people!!!
Amanda says – reply to this

38

Yes!!! I love Donnie Darko
sourdoggie says – reply to this

39

why? the movie was complete the way it ended (and there was a website that said what even happened to the major characters) there's no need to make another sequel.
Vikki Waiting says – reply to this

Thoughts on the sequel… I wish they would leave it alone, but I guess we can't make a fair assessment until it comes out. I'm a firm believer in the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' ideology. But only time will tell.
Talia says – reply to this

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

My favorite film is officially about be be ruined!

ahh i love donnie darko. it really wont be the same without jakey tho… :/
BLAH! says – reply to this

45

HELLS NO! movie producers are just trying to make money off of Jake's fame this is ridic! what a travesty. Way to ruin a great picture. Cult fans should boycott so this thing dies and won't be associated with the original.

There are some things that you just don't touch and Donnie Darko is one of them! Hollywood needs to learn to leave well enough alone!

shannonlynn says – reply to this

65

I love this movie. It was so underrated, and really deserves more. It was like a warped version of Jimmy Stewart's "Harvey". I'm sure it'll be messed up, but just like The Lost Boys, studios just can't leave a good thing alone!

WHY OH WHY! Why are they ruining it? It was not meant to have sequels. When will they leave well enough alone? Its as bad as them remaking all of the old horrors and was as terribly taking J-Horror and "Americanizing" it!

Won't waste my money or my time seeing a sequel..
kuli says – reply to this

68

nooooo waaaay! it's like making a remake of space odyssey!
how dare they!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kristin says – reply to this

69

You can't top the first one so I don't know why they'd even try to make another one. It'll probably suck but hopefully they'll pull it off.

Can you explain the 1st movie to me before you make a 2nd?
Leah says – reply to this

72

HELLZ NO! The original Darko film is art and that is clearly not.
Hanna says – reply to this

73

the first movie is way too amazing
why make a sequel
but honestly i will probably watch it
laura says – reply to this

74

noooooo! the first one was so great. why fix something that isn't broken?
phillygirl says – reply to this

75

hey, ignorant (that's YOU, #4) - since you have already demonstrated that you live in a fantasy-filled world, and since your soaps aren't on, you can always watch the teletubbies, they're on RIGHT NOW!!! you won't want to miss it, i'm sure, though you probably are already watching them.
take care, you insensitive bastard.
ali says – reply to this

76

ughhh
i LOVE this movie, and honestly a second probably isnt the best idea.
it better be good.

and also Jake Gyllenhaal is soooo sexc
Pam says – reply to this

Donnie Darko is one of my FAVORITE movies. I can't believe they are going to do a second. Why ruin a GREAT THING!!!!

Seriously sucky…what the hell is Hollywood doing? Donnie Darko is perfect as it is…making a sequel?! About the worst idea EVER!

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Perez thank you for the news update, you did that, but i must say you are intellectually challenged in order to diss this flick… it takes a while to understand the previos Donnie film but i think the effort is worth it! Can't wait!!!!!!

why cant hollywood just leave a good thing ALONE. Donnie Darko was such an amazing film and tarnish it!
Miss A says – reply to this

94

seems interesting but should have been left alone! that movies a classic and u shouldnt fuck with that. GOOD DAY
Meg says – reply to this

95

I think its wrong, the best part about Donnie Darko is that it leaves you wondering what really happend. As many times as I have seen it everytime brings something new, I think it should be left alone.
WTF says – reply to this

96

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and they wonder why they are losing money in Hollywood!! Is there ANY originality left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find it kinda funny…….I find it kinda sad…………The movies that they mess up…….were the best they ever had…..
