Richard Kelly on Donnie Darko at 25: ‘It’s a Miracle That Any Movie Gets Made’

To celebrate Donnie Darko’s 25th anniversary, Fathom Entertainment will re-release the film in 4K with a new introduction recorded by director Richard Kelly, who also announced his 800-page novel The Philosophy of Time Travel, slated for December 15 and positioned as a sequel foundation. Kelly recalled the film’s early cult breakthrough in March 2002 when a midnight showing at New York’s Pioneer theater sold out, confirming its enduring fanbase.
