S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale: Poster, News, and Trailer

The biggest story of the day seems to be the announcement of a "Donnie Darko," sequel known as "S. Darko." However, studios seem to be taking the picture lightly with Chris Fisher helming the project and actors Jake Gyllenhaal with Maggie Gyllenhaal suspiciously absent. Instead prepare for Ed Westwick and Elizabeth Berkley to headline...

S. Darko takes place in the summer of 1995, seven years after the original film. It follows Donnie Darko's younger sister, Samantha (Daveigh Chase), who, in the wake of his death, has found herself at age 17 with a broken family, mired in feelings of insignificance. She and her best friend Corey (Evigan) set off on a road trip to Hollywood in a bid to 'make it big', but their journey is cut short when their car breaks down unexpectedly, leaving them stranded in a small desert town. When a meteorite happens to crash-land nearby, Samantha is plagued by bizarre visions telling of the universe's end and it appears that their breakdown was part of some grander plan. When she finds out she was actually adopted by the Darkos, and that she is in no way related to Donnie, she must face her own demons and, in doing so, save the world and herself(Internet).

This breaking story from Bloody-disgusting.com states that "S. Darko," will be heading straight to DVD/Blu-ray formats and thus, the film will probably be exploring B-movie territory...

In addition to the first still we posted last week, beyond the break you can check out the teaser trailer for Fox Home Entertainment's S.Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale, which arrives April 28th day-and-date on Blu-ray and DVD. High Def Digest reports that text specs will see a BD-50 dual-layer presentation with 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video and DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround audio. No extras have been released yet (Bloody-Disgusting).

Directed by Chris Fisher, 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 (Bloody-Disgusting).
