A sequel to the 2001 movie “Donnie Darko” starring Jake Gyllenhaal is being made. The sequel will be titled “S. Darko”. Fox studios has already won the North American rights for this film. Daviegh Chase reprises her role as Donnie’s younger sister. The film will be directed by Chris Fisher and will be about a $10 million budget film.

The film picks up from where it left off in the first one where Donnie’s sister is now a full grown adult, and she goes on a road trip with her best friend where they are trapped in bizzare visions similar to the first one.

Donnie Darko is not in the new film but there will be rabbits. Jake Gyllenhaal will not reprise his role for obvious reasons but it would be nice to see flashbacks of Gylenhaal’s character.

Filming is scheduled to begin May 18th…

Well, the first “Donnie Darko” did kind of leave open a sequel, there were plenty of unanswered questions that needs some explaining for the ending of the first one.

I’d say bring on the sequel! I’m interested in seeing how they will continue this creative story. I loved the first one.
