Donnie Darko sequel

DonnieDarko.jpgNo no no no no. Plans are afoot for a sequel to Donnie Darko. The great film from Richard Kelly is to have a successor directed by Chris Fisher.

The unbelievable (yet totally believable) news of a Donnie Darko sequel, comes from Screen Daily, through Empire. It will take place 7 years after the first and concentrate on Donnie's younger sister Samantha and her best friend. During a road trip they experience visions much like Donnie in the first.

Chris Fisher will direct, and Daveigh Chase will reprise her role from the original as Donnie's younger sibling. I hate to be cynical but I have a bad feeling in my gut about this one, especially as Richard Kelly will not be involved.

What do you think, good or bad idea?

Bad idea. Pls don't.

Worst idea for a movie I have ever heard. Donnie Darko is my all time favourite movie and a sequel, one not even directed by Richard Kelly is absolutely atrocious.

Well, I'm with Firebug, but if you step back for a moment and have a think about it a film that addressed some of the questions and lose plot lines in the original could work - only if they kept a similar or complimentary feel and didn't try to destroy what the original was.
