The Director of 'Donnie Darko' Is Planning a Sequel
“Much bigger and more ambitious.”
After receiving a 4K restoration for its 15th anniversary, there is now talks of an official sequel for Donnie Darko. In a recent interview, director Richard Kelly noted, “I think there’s something much bigger and more ambitious to do in that universe.” Though the director also noted that fans will have to wait for a budget that can bring his vision to fruition. “I want to make sure we’ve got the budget to do it justice and not to compromise anything. Another story in this world needs resources and we need to have that in place. I need to get my next film out of the gate and then we can go back and look at it.” Although no formal plans have been made, this should still be welcomed news for fans of the cult classic.
