This is good news!
I hope it will be released in theatres in my area.

Brilliant! Unfortunatly, I most likely won't be able to see it in theaters, since they like to ignore Alaska. But you said their releasing it on DVD later, right? Well, that's not so bad then. ;D

imdb has a re-release date of March 19th 2004 (this weekend!) but I can't find ANY info on when/where. Anybody have any newer info?

[DarkoFan]

Finally, some more info (taken from Yahoo movies)

Rerelease Note: (10/25/03) According to a report sent to AICN, this movie may be rereleased theatrically in March, 2004 as a Director's Cut, with the Sundance footage edited back in, along with some of the pop songs that apparently weren't included in the public theatrical and DVD release (I only ever saw it at Sundance, so I don't know what was all left out). Please note, however, that this has thus far not been confirmed by Newmarket. (11/10/03) It's been confirmed. Expect the Director's Cut in theaters next summer!

Bloody-Disgusting reported yesterday...
Variety reports that coming this July to theaters from Newmarket Films is Richard Kelly's brilliant film, Donnie Darko: Director's Cut, which stars the great Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal! This Sci-Fi film about time travel has become a cult classic over the past year or so and is one of the most popular and discussed movies on Bloody-Disgusting's forums. "Highschooler Donnie (Jake) is plagued by visions of a giant evil rabbit who orders him to commit acts of violence and predicts the impending end of the world."

I have a feeling this is going to be one of those things that gets delayed constantly.

[HROSSI]

Yeah, i see that too, many years from now when kelly is popular for his other films then people will discover Donnie Darko and we'll get to see it in it's entirrty but till then i'm glad i've got my plain old darko DVD.

[DarkoFan]

It doesn't look like it.

"Newmarket Films, which released the film in 2001, is unveiling a director's cut at the Seattle Film Festival on May 29. It plans to release the film theatrically in Seattle before moving into other markets later in the summer."

it's good to see there not beating around the bush with it. Let's just hope in doesn't take a dive in the theatres so it can go nationwide.

[Bit to leave out I think]

I hope the director's cut won't include the frank/god discusssion. I think it was wise that Kelly left that out. Having more options for us to unravel the plot and theme makes it a stronger movie for me.

They are re-releasing the director's cut for sure at the seattle film festival on May 29. I'm going and can't wait to see all the cinematography on the big screen. Not to mention all the extra footage.
