Jessie Spano to Donnie Darko 2

Filed under: Film Flickers > Z List

berkley__opt1.jpg

A majority of y'all were gutted to hear that a sequel to Donnie Darko is in the works.

Well, we have news that will make your heads spin even more!

Saved By the Bell and Showgirls alum Elizabeth Berkley has been cast to join the flick!

She will play a speed freak-turned-Jesus freak whose sentiments about ridding the world of its exponential sin are rivaled only by her infatuation with her dreamy pastor.

Are the producers purposely turning #2 into a joke?

      she better not mess up that movie!
      i loved the first one.
      she was ok on csi though.
      and she was on without a trace.

      Oh give her a break. I saw her on The Big Idea and she was very intelligent and well-spoken. She acted very motivated… Not everyone is offered blockbuster roles.



    16. 16

      Ew. ew.ew.ew.ew.ew.ew. REALLY? They may as well be making a paraody of Donnie Darko, NOT a sequel.

      I'm….as a huge fan of the first, it pretty much looks like I'm going to have to ignore this one, else my soul will die. If i hear ALOT of good reviews, fine, I'll consider it, but until then, even reading about this is painful.

      There was no way in hell I was going to see Donnie Darko 2. I honestly didn't think there was anything they could do to get me to see it. But… they have done it! She's fabbbbbbulous! All of you sheeple go along with anything, so fuck you if you don't like it. Bitchesssssssssssss!!!!!!

      When she is a speed freak will she be channeling Jessie Spano? She was adicted to caffeine pills when she was in the girls group Hot Sundae. I'm so excited…I'm so excited…..I'm so scared!!!

      Haven't you seen Southland Tales??? The director already made his sophomore effort a joke. Check out the cast and you tell me that he didn't try to put together the worst ensamble in history…. Will Sasso, Justin Timberlake, Seann William Scott, Zelda Rubenstein, Cheri Oteri, Kevin Smith, Janeane Garofalo, Bai Ling, Jon Lovitz… seriously, he said fuck my career and fuck you for supporting me.

      NOOOOOOOO… it's bad enough that they are doing a sequel… but this is TOO much.

    31. hailst says – reply to this


      31

      Remember that in the first movie Patrick Swayze played a role as a cheesy self-help Tony Robbin's type to perfection and added alot to the narrative. I assume Berkley will be used in the same vein…

      IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THE RUMOR THAT "MS. PEREZ HILTON" IS BEING CAST AS " MOMMA CASS " ?

      I think Elizabeth Berkley is great!

      She's fabulous on Step It Up and Dance and she deserves a second chance!

      Leave her alone, she's not Z-list!

      She's definitely higher up in Hollywood than all those reality nobodies you're always talking about. Loser.

      59

      Do they give a rip about the Donnie Darko fan base at all?!

      I loved the first one but I can see already what's up with this sequel. If it's looks like shit, and it sounds like shit…then it must be shit!

      #31 said something about Patrick Swayze being cast in the first one. In no way is casting Patrick Sawyze like casting "Jesse", he can actually act! And has had a successful movie career (Ghost, Roadhouse, Dirty Dancing etc.)
      that made him a lot of money.

      74

      I think if anyone had known how cool DD1 would be AND they knew that Patrick Swayze was going to be in it would have been saying the same thing about him. They are putting her in it to be unlikeable. I am skeptical about DD2 but not because of this casting choice alone — who knows it may rock!

      I hope she pulls it off. She's been painful to watch on CSI Miami, but I thought she did a really good job guest starring on Without A Trace - she really surprised me.

      Donnie Darko is a movie for kids who BELIEVE they watch indie movies.
      It's an awful movie, and deserves no sequel.

      The only thing good about a Donnie Darko 2 is that the same girl is playing Samantha Darko. However, it's basically going to be the first movie all over again. The original writer even refuses to have anything to do with this film. It shouldn't be touched, but I might see it out of curiousity, just to see what more could be done with it. Kind of like seeing Saw III, IV, or V…

      Donnie Darko was a good film by itself, i hope it dosn't get ruined by the sequel sort of like the Mask or Saw did
