Richard Kelly is finally getting some work out there for the millions of cult fans and hipsters who fell so madly in love with the man’s 2001 mindfuck, Donnie Darko.

They reteamed only once, for The Sting (which is getting a new DVD, by the way). "All these years went by and nobody came up with any ideas that were anything … Continue reading
The blessed respite from Star Trek may be ending.
