"Darko" Sequel Adds Cast
May 31, 2008 by Jane Boursaw
I still have to watch the original Donnie Darko (it’s on my list - I’ve heard it’s fab in that special dark fab way), but a sequel is in the works called S. Darko.
Elizabeth Berkley and Briana Evigan are on board for the film, being directed by Chris Fisher. Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) and Justin Chatwin (The Chumscrubber) also are in the movie, which stars Daveigh Chase, reprising her role from the original cult classic.
The story picks up seven years after the first film, following Donnie Darko’s sister, Samantha, who deals with her broken family, flees town with her best friend (Evigan) and is plagued by bizarre visions.
Berkley plays a speed-freak-turned-Jesus-freak whose sentiments about ridding the world of its sin are rivaled only by her infatuation with her dreamy pastor.
