I'm curious as well. From the previews it looks like it just rearanges the clips to make it focus on Samantha. But I loved DD, so I hope this is close to as good. Is it even out yet?
I dunno actually... But yeh, Donnie Darko is one of my fave films which is why I really do, yet really don't, want to see this "sequel".
I reckon if we watch it expecting it to be the most enormous pile of pants in the world ever, it might seem ok, even if it's shit.
i went out and bought donnie darko after I was hearing all the rage about it years ago. I never really get what people think is so great about that movie. Maybe I need to watch it again but I have tried to re-watch that damn movie several times and still come to the same conclusion....what the fuck!? If there is a sequel I would see it though. DD wasn't bad...just not the greatest movie ever like some people thought...IMO of course.
just watched the preview it looks pretty good I loved Donnie Darko although I didn't really get it- maybe that was the point? Anyway maybe if you just watch the new movie and judge it on it's own merits instead of comparing it to the original?
S. Darko set to release on DVD and Blu-Ray May 12, 2009. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._Darko After watching the trailer it seems to be a high budget filmed fucking up the whole appeal of the first one. I bet it will be lame in comparison. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2554575/s_darko_2009_movie_trailer/
I loveedddddddddddddddddddddddd DD but from the sounds of this sequel, it's another over hyped teen film. Guess I'll wait to watch it before I pass any real judgment though.
im with shadygrove... i watched donnie darko a while back and really didnt see what was so great about it. i pretty much get it too. it was just terribly boring and didnt really do anything for me.
for some reason watching DD puts me in some weird "80's horny" mood which is difficult to describe and probably just makes me sound weird.
