'S. Darko' to Change What Happened in 'Donnie Darko'?
Fans are not going to be happy with this...
MTV caught up with
S. Darko centers on best friends Corey and Samantha. Samantha (Daveigh Chase) is Donnie's sister and Corey (Evigan) is her best friend. The two will be on a road trip to Los Angeles, and both will be harnessing the hallucinations and time-travel abilities that once plagued Samantha's older brother. Yup, both of them will have Donnie's power and Evigan confirms that the only returning member of the first film will be Frank the giant rabbit.
When asked about the film Evigan said, "It's basically about going back in time and changing something. My character is named Corey – she's a selfish, badass kind of girl. She ends up switching a moment in time to take her life – [to help] somebody else, her best friend. It goes into all different dimensions, but it's really about turning something around for somebody else, and being able to go back and have another chance.
"I have the power too," Evigan explained. "It's a really cool, fun script. But it's darker, and I hope everybody understands it."
Hopes everyone understands it eh?
Evigan goes on to call the script "very twisted" and then says something that may actually enrage fans,
Richard Kelly hasn't denounced the film, but he has made it quite clear he is not involved and will never be involved. When asked about it Evigan replied, "That's fine. We've got new people working on it. We have a great cast, a great director, a great producer. So, I think it's going to be fine. We've just got to make it work with our acting, what we're doing, and hope everyone enjoys it."
She also said she hopes Kelly gives it a chance and will give it a stamp of approval. I wonder if that would be enough to satisfy the die-hards.

As a huge fan of the original, Im not enraged…Im just indifferent. If Kelly had been involved in the least, I would question it. I do think its odd that theyd try to to make this movie in the first place, let alone bring back Frank… I just dont see it working.
But in the end, who really gives a shit…itll go straight to dvd, and we who DO like the original can just pretend this POS didnt happen.
This is one stupid idea…I'm not giving this a shot unless it gets spectacular reviews.
I'm disappointed that Seth Rogen isn't reprising his role as Bully #2 or whatever

That would've made for a better sequel.
I've been researching the movie, and im afraid it's going to be a dissapointment.
I mean, they're altering the first one AND bringing back Frank?
I don't see how that's going to work out, I'll just wait for the reviews.
If it get's bad reviews im not even giving it a chance, I don't want to ruin my perception of the first one (:
