Yeah, the bunny’s back too. Even though he was totally and completely specific to Donnie. Although this time his teeth are even more jaggedy. So, that's okay then. Totally different, fresh and original.
We wonder if he speaks to Samantha in the same weird underwater voice. We bet he doesn't. He probably speaks like he's been inhaling helium, or does Daffy Duck impressions or something. The makers of S. Darko have way too much pride to rip that element off. Because it would absolutely make no sense.

Seems like samantha has the same powers as her brother ends up travelling back in time and becoming the enigma that is grandma death as a 'clever' twist on the original picture. It's gonna suck

I forgot they were even making this movie. Sad to say but I'm still going to buy it to see it, like 'they' said "stoners wouldn't notice if you shaved their heads in the night and painted their faces green. It'll be fine." Now i might have take offense to that if it wasn't true lol

Lets say for arguments sake that its a sequel! I think your being too literal here, i've seen the trailer and 3/4 of it is nothing like Donnie. The poster is similar but in no way a copy, and its hardly a crime, back to the future 2 and 3 both recycled the original poster, ok so it was the same cast and crew but just because S.Darko had a different cast and crew doesn't mean it needs to be totally seperate from Donnie. I agree that the waking up connection is rubbish, they dont need it her names is Darko that should be an obvious enough link to her brother, but i do believe that the time worms and the countdown are essential to a sequel. Take them away and you have a film that just has the same name and no connections with the original, it wouldn't be a sequel or a remake! I also think that their should be some sort of figure i.e Frank but should definately be different, recycling the rabbit is very very lazy. also the lady death similar shot, is a stretch especially for you guys, could be a nod to Donnie but in no way has anything to do with Lady Death storyline mash up lol .....im sure.....! Although dont get me wrong, like every other cult follower of Donnie i was horrified to here that a sequel was being made, and its probably gonna be total pants, but its been made so im gonna give it a go. Remember no one liked Donnie to start with...........

But why do we need a sequel? Why can their not be one single stand alone piece of cinematic art anymore? Remakes, reimaginings and unnecessary sequels are becoming the hallmark of this new century of cinema and I for one am not glad of it. Personally, when it comes to films I love, I am quite happy to subscribe to the addage 'if you love them, let them go'. Let it rest, let questions go unanswered and don't seek resolution where there can be none. Whats next? 'Eternal Sunshine of Another Slightly Less Spotless Mind', '13 Monkeys' or how about 'Brazil 2: Escape to Rio De Janeiro'? Come on guys raise the bar and stop ripping off classic cinema for the pathetic amount of monetary return it garners. PS the Lady Death shot is exactly the same but shot slightly fancier, a feature that defines most of the new breed of re-imaginings.

Had a quick read about the film on imdb and it sounds diabolical. Samantha's is not a Darko at all she's adopted, she is involved in a car crash on the way to Hollywood & must save small town from its end after a meteor crashes or may crash, I was rapidly losing the will to live at this stage so feel free to check it out yourself. It sounds like a Silent Hill story, just not as good, or scary or in anyway related to Silent Hill, in a word awful. I'm still hoping this is an April Fools.

I had a quick read about the film and it sounds awful. Apparently Samanthan is adopted and is on the way to Hollywood when there is a car crash and she wakes up in this small town knowing that something bad is going to happen, it had something to do with a meteor but I was losing the will to live at this stage so feel free to check it out yourself. I'm hoping this is an april fool as it sounds like a Silent Hill game just one that isn't scary, or has a good story & has nothing to do with Silent Hill. Awful.
