Richard Kelly Will ‘Never Ever Ever’ Be Involved In A ‘Donnie Darko’ Sequel

Comic-Con is as much a time for sharing super amazing movie news—“Iron Man 2!” "Tron Legacy!!” “Avatar!!!”—as it is about debunking crazy rumors. Did you hear the wacky one that writer/director Richard Kelly was going to jump back into the “Donnie Darko” universe for a third film? After he had nothing to do with the second, stinky “Darko” flick? Really?

Yeah, not so much. When Kelly talked with MTV’s Josh Horowitz, the director couldn’t have been more clear that he has nothing to do with this rumored third film. Check out our video interview with him after the jump.

“Absolutely not,” he said.

So that’s a no?

“I know nothing about it and I would never have any involvement with any existing or future sequel to 'Donnie Darko' ever—ever!” Kelly said.

Gotcha loud and clear. So if Fox ever moves ahead with a sequel to this year’s straight-to-DVD “S. Darko,” know that the creative mind behind the film has played no part in the production.

Isn’t that right?

“Never ever ever ever would I be involved with anything like that,” said Kelly.
