Screen Daily News is reporting that a Donnie Darko sequel entitled S. Darko is going into production on May 18th without Richard Kelly's involvement. The film will be produced and distributed through the UK based company Velvet Octopus and Chris Fisher will direct it. His previous films include Rampage: The Hillside Strangler Murders and Nightstalker.

Daviegh Chase is set to return as Donnie's younger sister. The story picks up seven years after Donnie's death, with his little sister Samantha and a friend traveling to Los Angeles where they experience a plaque of bizarre visions. Also joining the cast are Ed Westwick, Briana Evigan, and Justin Chatwin.

Fisher stated, "I am a great admirer of Richard Kelly's film and hope to create a similar world of blurred fantasy and reality." Velvet Octopus' Simon Crowe said of the project, "I think there is a new generation of cinema-goers who will be very excited to see this film. Donnie's not in it but there are meteorites and rabbits."

Production is set to begin on May 18th, 2008. Let the bitching begin...

I'm sure this isn't going to come as a surprise to any of you but yes you are all being fucked with! If you can HANDLE the TRUTH about what "Donnie Darko" is REALLY about then check out my web site. For the past year I've been is a NASTY copyright infringement lawsuit against Richard Kelly (which is WHY he's NOT involved in "S DARKO"), the producers, executive producers (including Drew Barrymore) and the distributors of both "Donnie Darko" and "Donnie Darko The Director's Cut."

You all seemed to be pissed off and when you read what they've tried to do, including make the last 20 pages to the original copyrighted script disappear from the Copyright office, you're going to be REALLY pissed. But alas, the truth ALWAYS comes out. Iraq was noting more that a business beal and "Donnie Darko" is based on a real persons autobiography that was stolen. I couldn't say this unless it was true or they'd sue me and they're not!!

Read the site and you'll understand "Grandma Death," "traveling in God's channel" and "Frank." You'll also understand YOURSELF and everyone else around you! You'll also understand what "SouthLand Tales" was REALLY about, if you saw it, and will understand what "S DARKO" is GOING to be about even before you see it.

I'm initiating a class action lawsuit on behalf of every viewer of "Donnie Darko" and "Donnie Darko the Directors Cut." I need to stop the film 95 times or once every 80 seconds of film to explain it. The US government obstructed justice by causing the disappearance of the last 20 pages of the original script to "Donnie Darko" and by refusing to look at the evidence I presented. Read about "The Donnie Darko Scandal Conspiracy Cover Up and MURDER?" at

Thought Donnie Darko was pretty strange and confusing. Couldn't be bothered to watch it a second time to try and work it out. Don't think I'll watch the sequel once, unless it gets good reviews.
