Donnie Darko sequel starts filming May 18th

[Darko]

If Richard was involved I wouldn't mind even though zero reasons exist to make a sequel. But without him behind the story and directors chair this has the makings of a disaster.

Pretty much this seems like an excuse to milk the fans of the first one. This movie now has a huge following. Enough for a small theatrical run possibly and easily one for the home market.

Even the skeptical DD nuts like me will watch the sequel just to see it. Some might even blind buy. Not too mention this gives the people who did not get a chance to get on our bandwagon the first go around a chance to join in on the cult train.

Nothing we can do but sit back and watch, moan, and hope to be presently surprised.
