So in totally depressing and fucked up, unoriginal American cinema news, I recently learned that they are going to be making a sequel to Donnie Darko.

My question to everyone else is: excited or disappointed?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I dont care either way. Donnie Darko was decent at best.

I concur.

yeah I heard about that

it's most likely going to suck

Donnie Darko was great, and the sequel will most likely suck, but you never know. Occasionally they get them right.

That is usually how I am about remakes, but for some reason, I just wish they would have left this franchise alone.

on a side note, I thought the director's cut of Donnie Darko was so much better than the regular cut...it made so much more sense

There's going to be a sequel?

 

[The_Quadfather]

Yes, a sequel! Apparently, the movie is supposed to deal with Donnie's little sister 18 years later, or something like that. It doesn't matter, as I am thoroughly disappointed in the fact that this franchise is about to be ruined.

I can't wait for the new Batman. Fuckin epic!

Indeed! Out in June, correct?

 

[Cythraul]

I really don't give a shit about Donnie Darko and all that shit. Why would I watch overhyped crap like that when I can pop in a fucking Herzog or Kurosawa film?

 

[Matt]

Think so, yeah.

 

[Matt]

then hopefully

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

That would be cool. but I dont think they will make it.

You are completely right! I never should have posted an update about Donnie Darko specifically addressing you. I probably should have made it a general statement to the board rather than wondering whether you "give it a shit" about the sequel. Hopefully I won't make such a mistake next time...

 

[Pessimism]

A Superman/Batman movie is a horrible idea.

 

[KMADD]

Im tired of all these superhero movies I mean shit whats next a aquaman movie? Give this shit a rest.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Looks like Richard Kelly actually has very little to do with this "S. Darko". I suspect it will be quite bad. Too much of the originality of the first one will be gone for it to have any chance. Not to mention that the timeline will place it in 2006, which sucks out the 1988 setting that added so much to DD.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

A Superman/Batman movie is a horrible idea.

Agreed.
