Seven years after her brother´s death, Samantha Darko finds herself stranded in a small desert town after her car breaks down where she is plagued by bizarre visions telling of the universe´s end.

Stumbled across this at MovieWeb.com while getting ready to watch the newest Dragon Ball: Fail... erm... "Evolution" trailer. I find myself with mixed emotions.
At first thought my heart jumped in glee at the prospect of more to my #1 favorite movie of all time. Everything "Donnie Darko" = in my opinion. Then, once the initial surprise wore, I find myself thinking... Donnie Darko ended perfectly - this movie could f* things up.
I suppose, ultimately, it depends how its done.

From the sounds of things it's going to have a similar theme to the first one, the tone and visualizations look like they will also be similar...
I don't know, it could go either way.
Yes, this is obviously an attempt for Hollywood to make more money off a classic movie.
Yes, it's obvious that Hollywood has long-since-past ran out of "original" ideas.
No, this doesn't mean this particular movie will suck... but based on previous unnecessary sequels (Butterfly Effect 2 & 3) the odds are not in DD2's favor.

Definitely going to check it out though, give it the benefit of the doubt, but as it's a straight-to-dvd release... not holding my breath. Still, can't wait to see it either way.

Looks good!

Hmm... I doubt I'll watch it. This may sound like a travesty to some, but I didn't really like the first one at all.

I probably won't see it because I liked the first one and it will probably suck. Sequels are for Horror movies, not Donnie Darko.

I didn't really get that into Donnie Darko... but then I watched it right after Hard Candy I believe...
