Its director Richard Kelly hasn’t lost any of that Donnie Darko fever yet, as he has some ideas to make a(nother), “more ambitious” sequel.
Donnie Darko actually does have a kinda-sequel, S. Darko, which focuses on Donnie’s younger sister Samantha and is, to put it mildly, not great.
Would a Donnie Darko sequel be worth it? Since it’s still just an idea and no real details have been released about the cast or the plot or anything, it has the potential to add more to the universe Kelly created in 2001.
Cult classics rise from the ashes of box office failures to become certain film canon staples in their own right, and, of those, Donnie Darko is a force of nature.
