S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale trailer looks horrible! What a twist!

20th Century Fox has released the trailer for 'S. Darko', the sequel to the cult-classic 'Donnie Darko' starring Jake Gyllenhall from 2001.

I'm a huge fan of the original, and seeing that the only link between the original and the sequel is Daveigh Chase (who reprises her role as Donnie's (Gyllenhal) little sister), is quite disheartening.

But you wanna know what's more depressing than creepy bunnies, time-travel, and forced sequels? Try reading this synopsis:

Samantha Darko (Daveigh Chase) and her rebellious best friend Corey Richardson (Briana Evigan) leave on a cross-country road trip to Los Angeles in an attempt to 'make it big'. Their dreams are cut short when their water pump blows outside of a tiny Utah town. Unable to leave until their car is fixed, Sam and Corey are stranded with the locals. Sam and Corey are less than thrilled at the delay, and when an unexplained meteorite crash-lands in town that night, it soon becomes clear that there is much more at play than just a chance breakdown.

Plagued by bizarre hallucinatory dreams warning her of the universe's imminent end, as well as grief over her own loss of family, Sam must face the demons she had fled back at home. Aided by the unlikely town locals, Sam learns the true meaning of family and friendship, and in doing so, saves only herselself.


That does indeed sound like shit, who came up with this?

Anyway, here is the abysmall trailer.


Chris Fisher will be directing with Nathan Atkins as writer.
