I like me some horror movies and I’m guessing we have that in common since you’re visiting this blog. If you happened to stumble upon us whilst searching for something that was bloody and/or disgusting, sorry to disappoint, but why don’t you hang around for a while. You may even learn a thing or two. For those of us who have spent our lives watching people getting hacked to pieces by the occasional monster, mad scientist, demon, serial killer, or knife glove wielding haunter of dreams, we’ve all experienced our fair share of forgettable teens and the directors who manage them. Sure they can scream and many of them look good on camera, especially in that “let’s get in the freezing lake at night completely nude, naturally, and ignore the feeling we’re being watched from afar” kind of way but that isn’t what makes a memorable icon.

Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko) is back without another bizarre spin on reality with The Box, which is based upon the short story “Button, Button” by Richard Matheson that was also a “Twilight Zone” episode. Today Warner Bros. Pictures released the first trailer for the film arriving in theaters October 30th. The footage looks really solid and carries a few creepy moments, but I am really, really getting sick of trailers using the Saw theme in them. (more…) READ MORE
A brand new viral video was posted today from the “unknown film”, although this one straight out refers to “Donnie Darko’s death”, which makes it pretty clear that these are for Fox Home Entertainment’s forthcoming S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale, which now streets on May 12. 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.

Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale (hi-res images), their direct-to-disc sequel to Richard Kelly’s cult classic Donnie Darko.

Beyond the break you can check out the first one sheet for Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Box, which was directed by Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko) for release on October 30. In the “Twilight Zone”-esque film, Norma and Arthur Lewis are a suburban couple with a young child who receive an anonymous gift bearing fatal and irrevocable consequences. A simple wooden box, it promises to deliver its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world…someone they don’t know. (more…) READ MORE
Fans of Donnie Darko and (the few fans of) Southland Tales have a little something to look forward to as writer-director Richard Kelly’s The Box is finally hitting theaters on October 30 from Warner Bros. Pictures. The film looks pretty interesting as it’s based on the short story “Button, Button” by Richard Matheson that follows Norma and Arthur Lewis are a suburban couple with a young child who receive an anonymous gift bearing fatal and irrevocable consequences. A simple wooden box, it promises to deliver its owner $1 million with the press of a button — with consequences. This evening Kelly updated his official blog with some “facts” about the film, all of which can be read beyond the break. This looks like it’s gonna be a good one!! (more…) READ MORE
Update: We’ve uploaded a handful of brand new hi-res images from the film inside. Regular visitors here at B-D know I’m a mega-fan of Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko, so it should be of no surprise that I’ve been stalking the official website for the sequel, S. Darko (trailer), which hits DVD and Blu-ray on April 28 from Fox Home Entertainment. I got frustrated this evening as the website featured only the trailer — yet not everything is what is seems. Take some time and push your mouse around. If you force your cursor to the right you’ll find AIM icons, wallpapers (rocking one now) and a slew of first images! Woo! 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.

Update: Interesting update regarding this story beyond the break. Bloody-Disgusting was tipped off this evening that genre fav Jena Malone (Donnie Darko, The Ruins) has been tapped to topline MGM’s “top secret” horror project, The Cabin in the Woods, which was co-written by Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, with Goddard set to also direct. Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford were the first announced to star last week. Much like CLOVERFIELD, which Goddard scripted, the CABIN story line provides a new twist on a classic scenario — in this case the young-people-stranded-in-the-woods horror trope. The film is said to be the horror movie to end all horror movies. CABIN IN THE WOODS is slated for release on February 05, 2010. (more…) READ MORE

Fox has announced a February 10th Blu-ray release for the cult classic Donnie Darko, which will come to high-def with both the theatrical and unrated versions, according to Highdefdigest.com.

There are no tech specs or supplement details as of yet, but Fox is billing the Blu-ray as a Collector’s Edition, so we expect plenty of extras. Suggested retail price for the Blu-ray has been set at $34.95. More details forthcoming. (more…) READ MORE
One of the quirky little things that I love about Richard Kelly’s cult classic DONNIE DARKO was the odd casting of stars like Patrick Swayze; it looks as if 20th Century Fox is keeping the spirit of the franchise alive with some weird casting of their own. Inside you’ll find out the two latest people to join S. Darko, which is being directed by Chris Fisher. (more…) READ MORE
Yesterday we were all shocked when a sequel to DONNIE DARKO was announced. Today the first teaser poster was discovered for S. Darko (Samantha Darko), which picks up seven years after the first film (and Donnie’s death) when little sister Samantha Darko (Daviegh Chase) and her best friend Corey are now 18 and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions. Read on for a look. (more…) READ MORE
Woh woh woh… hold on a minute! We received some really interesting intel this afternoon regarding Richard Kelly’s (Donnie Darko) adaptation of The Box, which is now casting for a Boston and Virginia shoot this November. We learned that a heavy portion of the film integrates a story about a NASA “Viking Project”. The movie takes place in Virginia in 1971, so what could NASA have to do with this story? Hmmmm, let’s get those thinking hats on and start talking! Comment below. (more…) READ MORE
Laura Ramsey (The Covenant), Jena Malone (Donnie Darko; pictured inside) and Shawn Ashmore (X-Men trilogy) have made it to The Ruins, DreamWorks and Spyglass Entertainment’s adaptation of the best-selling Scott B. Smith novel. Red Hour Films’ Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld are producing along with Chris Bender, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The three actors join Jonathan Tucker in a thriller about a group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they accompany a fellow tourist on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins.

According to Writer/Director Richard Kelly’s (Donnie Darko) MySpace blog, casting, budgeting and scheduling for The Box is finally underway! The film is an adaptation of a Richard Matheson story called Button Button, also made into a twilight zone episode back in the 60′s on the original show. The story will figure a bickering couple that comes into possession of a box that gives money each time it’s button is pressed. The only catch is that a person dies every time they get more money.
