Donnie Darko 2: Blasphemous!!!

Filed under: Jake Gyllenhaal > Film Flickers

donniedarko.jpg

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?

    This is the best thing I've heard all year.

    Donnie Darko was seriously an overrated piece of shit, and its cult pisses me off, so the news that they're going to sell out just brings a smile to my heart.

    HORRIBLE idea. i hate when they do sequels. how many years has it been since Donnie Darko?? too many, you cant make a sequel that shouldnt have one anyway and without the main character

  12. Sim says – reply to this


    312

    i'll watch it JUST for ed westwick

  13. mich says – reply to this


    313

    you can't make a sequel! it will ruin the brilliance of the original!!!

    Fuck that

  25. GeeNeeMeanie says – reply to this


    325

    I happen to think that is the worst idea ever thought up in Hollywood. Why destroy a cult classic ?, when Donnie died the movie was done there was no need to further the story.

  26. Sara says – reply to this

    this is fucking bullshit

    330

    Hey, nomatter what- we will ALWAYS have the awesome mindfuck that is the ORIGINAL donnie darko. always. any minute now, I can go rent it and watch it, unaltered, and be just as mystified as the first time I saw it.

    So, they make a sequel. So what? If you're opposed to the idea, then don't see it. Go rent or buy the original, watch THAT, and have a great time. Making a sequel does not at ALL ruin the original, not in any way, shape or form. They're not RE-MAKING the original, they're just making a second, completely different movie.

    I for one am excited for the sequel. If it is even HALF as good as the first one, I'm sure I'll love it.

    For those of you who haven't even seen the first one: SEE IT!! and please, do so before the sequel.

  37. jess says – reply to this


    337

    the first one is my favourite film ever!
    my first instinct was that doing a sequal is a terrible idea
    but donnie darko will always stand as a masterpiece
    if they do the sequal right it could be great
    if they do it wrong itll be really really bad

  38. C-dawg says – reply to this


    338

    Ugh really?
    I guess the upside is Ed Westwick!

  39. S says – reply to this


    339

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
    Donnie Darko is my all-time favorite film, i can't believe this is happening!!! :O:O This has got to be a joke, who would be stupid enough to make a sequel to such an amazing film?

    who knows
    if the sequel ties in with the first it just might be great :D

  44. Amy says – reply to this


    344

    There goes Donnie Darko! They are going to take such a good movie and make a shitty sequel with sluts on a road trip? Woohoo, my day just got ruined. I'll still watch it because Ed Westwick is in.

  45. So What says – reply to this


    345

    What's the big deal? I don't get why people get so upset over remakes and sequels. It's not like they're going back and editing the original. And if you're a real fan, you should be happy there's something new to check out. Even if it is bad, you can always go back and watch the one you love.

  46. Tracy says – reply to this


    346

    Yeah, I'm not sure about it. I mean, I'll probably see it, since I LOVE 'Donnie Darko' (and Jake Gyllenhaal

  47. please don't says – reply to this


    347

    seriously??? leave Donnie alone!!!!

  48. Lydia says – reply to this

  56. kelly says – reply to this


    356

    i hope this movie doesn't destroy the first one because it seems really lame.
    just because a movie is good doesn't mean you have to automatically make a sequel. shit!

    When I saw the "Donnie Darko 2" I just gasped in horror. I love Donnie Darko so much and now Hollywood is going to put their filthy little hands all over, throw a bunch of "glitz" on it and ruin it's legacy as a great indie flick.

    i honestly can't believe this.
    sequels suck. and when you make a sequel to this kind of cult classic, its bound to be like, straight to home video.
    can you imagine if they made a sequel to the Rocky Horror Picture Show? no. and hopefully that'll never happen either.

  73. Megan says – reply to this


    373

    That's like making a sequel to Thelma and Louise, it just can't be done. The only reason people make sequels, seems to be the desire for more money. The movie Donnie Darko is a classic, there is no need for for an additional movie. My prediction? Boxoffice bomb. I will not watch it.

    That is absolutely terrible. When will Hollywood learn that not EVERY freaking movie is meant for a sequel? Donnie Darko is not meant to have a sequel. End of story.

    393

    Leave it alone…really, back away quitely, no sudden moves…when Hollywood finds out they can make a buck off something, it's on our lunch boxes the next…Even if its a hit, WHY? AT least "Road House" is still sacred!!!

    i've watched donnie darko about 4 times, and then bought it, and then watched it 423243 more times.
    And still don't get it, and they're already making a new one?!?

    if i can't get the first one, how am i gonna get the second one?
    and i really wished they'd just leave it alone too. that sucks major balls.

    This movie sucks, a sequal will suck worse. Everyone holds the first in such high regard when really it has severe pacing problems, side stories that honestly have nothing to do with the main theme or plot, and the performance by Gylenhall is pathetic at best. God what a waste of time.
