Donnie Darko 2 is being released as an 800 page novel about his parents investigating government conspiracies.
>>222783101Why?
>>222783101i hope someone can use AI to turn this into a manga or anime so we can all read it
>>222783101Is S. Darko not relevant as a spin-off?
>>222783101I just read on some articles that he wants this to send off the ship where this book becomes an animated show, then that leads into "several" films where all the original cast comes together again for new movies. Zero mention of the Samantha Darko movies. I hate when they just pretend something doesn't exist. Even if he lost control of his project and some studio made a shit movie, just work it in. Be a big boy and figure it out.
>>222783101>Donnie Darko 2 S. Darko came out like 15 years ago.
>>222783252Oh, and the new movies would be 28 years in the future, or the 2016 election cycle. So we know exactly what that means. It's gonna be dog shit.
>>222783206>>222783252I think I heard that S. Darko was an ashcan sequel, that they took an unrelated script and slapped the Darko name on. Like a lot of the Hellraiser sequels. Not sure though.
>>222783289This happens more than you would expect. All of the SAW sequels were unrelated horror scripts they grafted Jigsaw into.
> Assembled entirely from recovered government transcripts, secretly recorded conversations, and early email correspondence, The Philosophy of Time Travel reconstructs the eighteen months that follow through the eyes of Donnie’s mother, Rose Darko, as she and her husband Eddie, a senior CIA analyst, are drawn into a widening investigation that reaches from the Oval Office to the Mojave Desert. FBI surveillance teams, FAA officials, USC professors, and a mysterious circle of trackers and financiers all converge on the same impossible discovery: a strange “celestial fluid,” a set of unexplained artifacts, and a forbidden book, Roberta Sparrow’s own Philosophy of Time Travel, that appears to predict the exact circumstances of its own recovery.
>>222783314As were The Collector and The Collection movies. They were Saw spin-offs, too. And Saw itself, IIRC, was a rejected X-Files episode.
>>222783101>>222783252Richard Kelly is another gigantic dork retard who got lucky with the 90s indie movie boom and someone decided to finance their bullshit script. Just like the dork who did Boondock Saints. This is evident by the absolute shitfest that is The Southland Tales. You can tell these guys are just the most lame 90s retard movie bro retards but with a major narcissistic personality disorder. This means they can under no circumstance work with others or deviate from their shit ass "vision". Donnie Darko is the most overrated piece of shit of the last 30 years.
>>222783384your opinion pic related
>>222783384The Box is cool though
>>222783468Pic rel is me looking at you
>>222783475I didn't realize he made The Box. That movie is bonkers good.
>>222783252None of the original cast is coming back. At best they'll get Seth Rogen.

As long as S Darko isn't cannon, fine. I'm sure it will have embarrassingly bad prose though. Like I'm expecting JK Rowling and Steven King level writing here
>>222783252>just work it inhow about nonot every turd is worthy of recognition
>>222783101Southland Tales is legitimately the worst fucking movie I have ever seen even if it was incredibly prescient regarding surveillance
>>222786510Last theead people were saying an assembly cut or something was good. That Kelly had basically gotten bad test feedback and cut down all the scenes to the point the plot doesn't make sense, so to avoid the theatrical or directors cut
