glad to see kelly seems to be doing alright considering he hasn't made a film since the box. really wish he was able to make more films because we need more stuff from him whether its good or not, he will always have his audience on his side.

I wonder when his Donnie darko sequel is coming he announced back in 2021, he had written a lot for the script but when is it gonna happen, I messaged him on Twitter and he has not responded. I just want a Donnie darko sequel one that’s better than that S. Darko film he had nothing to do with

[@sidolanters1394]

he's been working on a bunch of projects though with Darko Entertainment like Corpus Christi and a Donnie Darko sequel. he also wrote a bunch of screenplays that ended up not being produced. you don't see that stuff on IMDb (he also wrote a draft for Knowing which he was attached to as a director that ended up being directed by Alex Proyas). but he's been working on projects ever since The Box even though nothing is officially announced yet. I really really really hope we're going to see a new Richard Kelly movie in the next few years. I've been waiting and looking for updates for the past 14 years. I really hope he's gonna make the Donnie Darko sequel. he said he's "not allowed" to talk about it but that they already have had a lot of work done on it. he also said that he met James Cameron one day and that Cameron encouraged him to do the sequel. anyway... I don't know why it's been taking so long but he's been working on multiple projects and we should get to see another Richard Kelly movie someday, hopefully soon.

@@sidolanters1394 what I am curious to know is which of Kelly’s projects will come out first since he is working on a film called Corpus Christi, a Donnie Darko sequel, sequel to southland tales and a rod serling biopic
