The genre-bending cult favourite Donnie Darko is getting a very unnecessary sequel according to Screen Daily.
The $10 million S. Darko will not involve Jake Gyllenhaal (who played Donnie), but instead center on Donnie’s sister. Set seven years after the first film, little sister Samantha Darko and her best friend Corey are now eighteen and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions.
Daviegh Chase will reprise her role as Donnie’s younger sister, while Justin Chatwin, Ed Westwick and Briana Evigan co-star. Producers have spoken to original director Richard Kelly about the project but he is not involved in any capacity at this stage. Chris Fisher (Nightstalker, Rampage: The Hillside Strangler Murders) will direct, with production set to begin in the United States May 18.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
