s.darko?

"S. Darko[1] is an upcoming 2009 sequel to Donnie Darko. It is directed by Chris Fisher. S. Darko follows Samantha Darko, the younger sister of Donnie, the protagonist of Donnie Darko, and her friend Corey. On their way to Los Angeles, their car breaks down, forcing them to wait in a small town until it is fixed. While there, Samantha begins to have dreams that warn her of the end of the universe.

S. Darko is set to be released on April 28, 2009, on DVD and Blu-ray.[2]"

Now, I don't know how many of you would even give this a second look, and I'm not even sure why I did, but there seems to be some kind of attraction to this.

What I really want to know, besides why this movie needed a sequel (They want money hurr hurr no $#!7), is why do most movies need these DVD sequels. I know the income can be decent, but in the long run wouldn't it be more profitable to do something new and better?

I dont understand how a stand alone film like Donnie Darko warrants a sequel.

No matter what tenuous links they may maintain to the first, if they had a decent enough story why not just run it as an individual film?

Really enjoyed Donnie Darko so it would be a shame if a straight to DVD 'sequel' tarnishes it.

Well, production value isn't all that bad, but the issue lies within the development of the story. I don't see character flaws, but interaction and acting are at a loss in the trailer. Best to youtube it if you want to see. I don't know in the long run myself, I just know I'll watch it at least once.

S. Darko

It stars Daveigh Chase. Has anyone else heard about it? I saw the trailor a week ago. I think it's supposed to be out in June.
