Richard Kelly's endlessly delayed but highly anticipated follow up to the breakout cult hit Donnie Darko is finally coming to theaters on November 9th. It's been a rocky road to the big screen with the film sustaining a crushing blow of disapproval from audiences at Cannes and being subsequently trimmed and restructured by the self-admittedly frustrated Kelly who has been working to get this film off the ground for 5 years now. It's been preceded by a trilogy of absurd sci-fi meets pop art graphic novels (set conspicuously in the "near future" of 2008 with important, alternate history events occurring as early as 2005 - one of the most obvious reasons why delays have compromised the tales a bit) and while those haven't exactly sold me on the already heavily criticized film, nor does this trailer, I can't help but root for Kelly to pull out another cult crowd pleasing showstopper. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Sean William Scott star along with Darko alums Holmes Osborne and Beth Grant and a sprawling cast of recognizable names and faces.Trailer
