Donnie Darko is a 2001 American science fiction psychological thriller film written and directed by Richard Kelly in his feature directorial debut. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Drew Barrymore, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross, Patrick Swayze, and Noah Wyle, with Seth Rogen making his film debut in a minor role. Set in October 1988, it follows Donnie Darko (Gyllenhaal), a troubled teenager who inadvertently escapes a bizarre accident by sleepwalking. He begins having visions of Frank, a mysterious figure in a rabbit costume who informs him that the world will end in 28 days. Development began in late 1997 when Kelly had graduated from film school and started writing scripts. He took an early idea of a jet engine falling onto a house with no one knowing its origin and built the story around it. Kelly insisted on directing the film himself and struggled to secure backing from producers until 2000, when Pandora Cinema and Barrymore's Flower Films agreed to produce it on a $4.5 million budget. Principal photography took place in California from July to August 2000 and lasted 28 days. The soundtrack features a cover of "Mad World" by Tears for Fears by American musicians Gary Jules and Michael Andrews, which went to No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks and was the Christmas number 1 in 2003. Donnie Darko premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2001, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize, followed by a limited theatrical release on October 26. Because the film's advertising featured a crashing plane and the September 11 attacks had occurred a month and a half before, it was scarcely advertised. This affected its box office performance and it grossed just $517,375 in its initial run. However, the film became a cult classic, and after reissues, it went on to gross $7.5 million worldwide and earned more than $10 million in home video sales. It was listed No. 2 in Empire's "50 Greatest Independent Films of All Time," and No. 53 in Empire's "500 Greatest Movies of All Time." Kelly released Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut in 2004. The film was adapted into a stage production in 2007 and a sequel, S. Darko, followed in 2009 without Kelly's involvement. In 2021, he announced that work on a new sequel is in progress.
