S. Darko

I love Donnie Darko but I don't know about this. A sequel called S. Darko, named for Donnie's little sister Samantha, is set to release April 28. I think the only actor from the original is Daveigh Chase in the title character role. And the original director/writer/creator Richard Kelley is not involved. The casting of Elizabeth Berkley, star of Saved By the Bell and Showgirls, doesn't make me any more likely to think it will be good. Neither does the fact that there is a character on the film's IMDB page named "Barfing Girl / Waitress". The spiritual aspect intrigues me though. What do you think? Here's the trailer:
