Full Synopsis, Date and First Look at 'S. Darko'

We learned that Fox Home Entertainment and MGM Home Entertainment will be releasing S. Darko on DVD April 28th. The trailer will premiere at the New York Comic Con before arriving here on the web the following week. Beyond the break you can check out the full synopsis for the film, along with your first look at Samantha Darko, played by (Daveigh Chase of 'The Ring' fame).

The continuation of cult classic DONNIE DARKO finds now eighteen year-old classic beauty Samantha Darko (Daveigh Chase) and her rebellious best-friend Corey Richardson (Briana Evigan) in the midst of a cross-country road-trip to 'make it big' in Hollywood.

But their big dreams are cut short when their water pump blows outside of a tiny Utah town.

Stranded with the local teens for a few days until their car's fixed, 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 eminent end, as well as grief over her own loss of family, Sam must face the demons she has fled back at home. Aided by the unlikely town locals, Sam learns the true meaning of family and friendship, and in doing so, saves both herself and the world.

Sounds alot like Donnie except in a small town with his now 18 year old little sister Because all Donnie Darko was was a random set of chances that came together

The first one was shit. I bet this one will be even worse. But I'll force myself to sit through it for Ed Westwick. Ha.

I usually try to keep an open mind, but I'm hating this all the way around.

I liked The Butterfly Effect and that sequel sucked. Looks like money hungry producers are at it again!

I thought Darko was boring and hyperly overrated. For an excellent film, I'd recommend "Primer"

Donnie Darko was good, IMO, but not amazing. I'd recommend THE NINES instead though, which was terrific. Anyway, there was a teaser for this on the COLLEGE DVD.

sounds bad yes, but will Frank the Bunny be in it thats wat i'm wounding.

Having Frank the Bunny appear in the movie probably wouldn't make any sense, but we're talking "cash-in" here, so yeah - they'll find a way to slip a bunny in.

"Sam learns the true meaning of family and friendship, and in doing so, saves both herself and the world." Wow. That's lame. April 28? Man, that was fast! I thought they were still in the pre-production stages of this movie. Then again, its direct-to-video. They could've written, cast and filmed this within the space of two months for all I know. I hope this doesn't go the way of the Final Destination franchise (replace plane with cars; replace jet engine with meteor).

just because donnie darko was awesome doesn't mean there needs to be a direct to dvd sequel. this sounds like shit and will most likely be shit

Sounds like straight to DVD fodder to me but will no doubt give it a rent. Also, can someone please explain to me how something can be 'gay'?? Gay either means homosexual or in it's original sense 'happy', and I doubt S Darko is either of these!!

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. As for those who say this sounds "so gay" - I'm not getting any overtly homosexual or lesbian vibes from this synopsis. Sorry, I just think that phrase is the most ridiculous phrase and makes American youth look like a bunch of hicks. If "gay" is supposed to be synonymous with "retarded", I find that interesting since some of the best directors/filmmakers are gay. Where did this phrase come from? I would rather hear "well, this sounds like fag fare" or something like that, because I could equate that to this film coming off as some artsy bull. America - first it was "p**ch monkeys" and "n***** knocking", now it's "that's so gay". What's next?

I really enjoyed Donnie Darko, but I have no doubt this will blow.

There was a trailer to this on the DVD for the movie College, which wasn't perfect but had some real funnny parts.

first film was great, unique. i dont remember them leaving it open for a sequel? but why not, it could have potential. they should all be injected with lsd and made to suck on laughing gas until giant rabbits come and take them away to never never land.
