On Anxiety-Inducing Sequels

Donnie Darko is my favorite movie of all-time. If you might ask, its about a troubled teenager who was diagnosed with Schizophrenia, and sleepwalks caused by "predestination paradox" and a man-sized bunny wabbit. Sounds geeky but i tell you its ultimately cool.

Unfortunately, they were making a sequel off of it entitled S. Darko. Since Donnie (Jake Gyllenhall) died in the first movie, this sequel is now about his sister. Samantha.

Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) will be one of the cast. :( I just hope having chuck in it could actually un-frustrate me. But on a serious note, i really do feel scared with them doing this. I love this movie so much. I know it will be bad. I just know it. *sighs*

Justin Chatwin (War Of The Worlds) will play a major role with the original Samantha Darko. This will take place seven years after Donnie died. (which actually is seven years after the first film.)

Speaking of Justin Chatwin, He will be playing Goku for the 2009 Dragonball movie, with James Marsters (Spike, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) as Lord Piccolo. Dragonball fans... would you think they could give justice to it? ~_^

-- oOo --

Gould's 1992 book-turned-to-movie Jumper made the Box-Office on its opening night and i recalled some of the people i know didnt like the movie coz of the storyline. Come on. You shouldve watched Carl Sagan Films then.

Its rumored that it will have 4 parts. I thought it will just be a trilogy. Wow saga.

Jumper (the book) was released 1992 and the sequel is entitled Reflex, which was released 2004. And they will be doing a film of that too. So the storyline will be more solid, catering for "deep people" (mukha nyo!)

I gotta admit, there is nothing to ruin on the first movie since it was just concentrated on Rachel Bilson and Hayden plus the chase with Samuel L. Jackson. I just wish for more BAMF (er... its the comic sound Nightcrawler makes when he teleports) and fight scenes. ^_^
