…The story picks up seven years after the first film (and Donnie’s death) when little sister Samantha Darko and her best friend Corey are now 18 and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions.
Fisher said in a statement: “I am a great admirer of Richard Kelly’s film and hope to create a similar world of blurred fantasy and reality.”
Producers have spoken to Richard Kelly about the project but he is not involved in any official capacity at this stage.
Simon Crowe of Velvet Octopus added: “I think there is a new generation of cinema-goers who will be very excited to see this film.”
Crowe quipped to ScreenDaily: “Donnie’s not in [the new film] but there are meteorites and rabbits.”

What good is a Donnie Darko sequel if Donnie Darko isn’t in the damn movie??? This project sounds like a horrible idea….
For those of you unfamiliar with the original Donnie Darko movie from 2001, click here to see its IMDB entry.
Life is one long insane trip. Some people just have better directions…
