Last we left Donnie Darko, he wasn’t doing so well. On top all his troubles, there have been announced plans for a stage production of the 2001 film and starting in a little over a week, production on Donnie Darko 2: Where Donnie At?.

Filming on S.Darko will begin on May 18th and picks up where the original left off. “Little sister Samantha Darko and her best friend Corey are now 18 and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions,“ like a sign for gas under 4 f’n dollars. Original DD writer / director Richard Kelly is not involved in any official way causing skeptics to rightfully remain skeptical.

It is unknown if the rest of Sparkle Motion will accompany Samantha Darko to LA and whether or not the film will culminate in a “dance-off”.
