Step 1: Decide to make a sequel to Donnie Darko, regardless of involvement of any original cast or crew

Step 2: Secure services of actor who played Donnie Darko’s younger sister, Samantha, a tertiary character. Name sequel s.Darko.  Using only sound effects and footage from the first movie, construct trailer for sequel.

Step 3: Profit?

(it’s not so much a sequel, more like an afterbirth)

Other movie blogs have been falling all over themselves trying to write a "OMFG, Seth Rogen Talks Green Hornet!!" post following an interview he did with MTV.  I avoided it, mainly because I didn’t give a crap, because of quotes like this:

There’s a more comedic version and a less comedic version, and we don’t know what will feel right until we’re actually writing it," he revealed to MTV News. "We were about to start writing the script, and then the [writers'] strike hit.

"It’s really hard to wrap our head around what the movie will be until we’ve written the script," he added.

Sweet, a guy giving an interview about a movie he hasn’t written yet. Why not interview me about next month’s hilarious posts that will revolutionize the internet, or the 700 hot babes I’m going vaporize with cunnilingus this weekend?  Anyway, the Rogen interview suddenly became relevant when I needed something timely to go withh this Donnie Darko clip I stumbled across recently (you’ll see Seth about 40 seconds in).  What the hell?  Seth Rogen was in Donnie Darko?  Was I the only one who missed that?

This clip from Richard Kelly's (Domino, Donnie Darko) upcoming Southland Tales, features The Rock, Seann William Scott (Stifler), Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Will Sasso, who played the retard in Drop Dead Gorgeous (probably the best portrayal of a movie retard of all time).  

I'm not saying the clip is good, but given this ensemble, it's a wonder there's no life-sized, talking CGI animals or guys getting wanged in the ding dong.  

Supposedly, the trailer will be up tomorrow.  On pins and needles is where I shall be waiting.
