Bei About.com gibt es ein Interview mit Richard Kelly, der natürlich auch über den "Director's Cut" plaudert...
[...] For me, it's not about coming in and fixing what isn't broken. It's more about expanding. There were definitely some plot holes and some characters arcs that weren't fulfilled, I think, in the theatrical cut. I think we've been able to go in and sort of complete those arcs and also fill the plot holes with a lot of information that was there and tied into the plot. There were also blueprints for things that I wanted to put in the film that got put off to the side when we realized that we had a two-hour running time restriction and we didn't have enough money when we were finishing the theatrical cut. It really let me go in and complete the story in more detail. It's like I said, this by no means nullifies the theatrical cut of the film because I am very proud of the film. [...]
By no means is it the Sundance cut. This is something far beyond the Sundance cut. Certainly you're going to see some of the scenes that were on the DVD as deleted scenes. You're definitely going to see some of those back in the cut, but there are also some scenes that I purposely left off the DVD. There's also some new material that no one has seen before, in terms of some of the visual effects sequences in the film. I think what you're also seeing is a lot of the elements, some of which appear on the website in the information within the pages of "The Philosophy of Time Travel," along with some of the deleted scenes and the new visual effects sequences, that all organically tie the story together in a way that I believe is more elegant and more fluid and, I hope, more satisfying to audiences. The Director's Cut sort of emerges as this science fiction epic, in a way, that was made on a very small, independent budget. [...]

Empire Online sprach mit Richard Kelly über seinen "Director's Cut"...
[...] Some of the new material was on the DVD release but you're adding footage that you originally held back. Did you always have a Director's Cut in mind?
When I made the DVD the first time around I knew that it was going to be a compromised DVD at best - in terms of the packaging. On the first Region 1 DVD I did finagle my way in with the programmers though and we worked with means well beyond our budget 'cause they were fans of the film. But in the back of my mind I did think that maybe one day I'd get to do a director's cut so I saved some stuff that would be a real surprise for people. In hindsight I'm glad that I did as this material is stuff that even people who've seen the DVD thirty times will still be surprised by.
Can you give us any specifics on the new material?
I kind of want to leave it as a surprise but I will say that this it will be worth the price of admission - it's not trying to cash-in on the fan-base, it's a wholly new theatrical experience. It will expand the meaning of the film and offer more clues and more solutions to the puzzle and create an additional layer of mystery for the audience. There really is a tremendous amount of new material - some of which will surprise even the most die-hard fans. One thing I am really excited about is the new sound. I was really unhappy with the mix that we had in the first cut. We never really had time to go in properly and design the sound. We can go back and really get it right this time. I'm very excited about the new sonic elements of the film. [...]

HollywoodReporter.com meldet...
"Donnie Darko" is getting a new theatrical release. Newmarket Films, which originally released the film, is unveiling a director's cut at the Seattle Film Festival on May 29. "Darko" premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival and was released in theaters that fall. The new version will have 20 minutes of never-before-seen footage, new visual effects, and new music. After the festival, Newmarket plans to release the film theatrically in Seattle before moving into other markets later in the summer. "We felt like it was a project unfinished, and there is such a hungry audience for this movie," said Newmarket partner Bob Berney. "Darko" grossed just $515,545 at the domestic boxoffice but has since gained a following on DVD where it has grossed more than $10 million domestically. "Even though I am proud of the theatrical version of the film, I've always felt that the story was somewhat compromised in order to come in under two hours," said "Darko" writer-director Richard Kelly. "With this version I feel like I've finally been able to complete the film."

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."

1. The love-versus-fear classroom task. It isn't fiction. It really happened to writer-director Richard Kelly.

Bei Locus Online gibt es eine Kritik von Lawrence Person...
[...] Donnie Darko isn't a great film, but it is a film that aspires to greatness. It has more ambition in any single scene than most big, stupid, special-effects-laden Hollywood SF extravaganzas manage for an entire film.
[...] none since Peter Jackson's superb Heavenly Creatures has haunted me as strangely and deeply as Donnie Darko has. Despite the flaws, the portions that do work are fiercely ambitious, nearly perfect and deeply compelling. As King Crimson once put it, "The more I look at it, the more I like it." Kelly may have missed the final pitch, but he went down swinging for the fences. [...]

Bei InformIT.com gibt es einen Artikel von Curt Cloninger...
donniedarkofilm.com is a promotional site for a surrealistic Hollywood horror film, but you'd hardly know that it was a commercial site at all. Basically, Artisan Entertainment told U.K. experimental Web design studio hi-res to do whatever it wanted. The Donnie Darko site has a pop-up window at the beginning that leads to trailers of the film, but the rest of the site could just as well exist on its own. In fact, I have not yet seen the film, and I probably never will.
donniedarko.com unfolds like a cryptic mystery. Your job is to put the pieces together by discovering clues that lead to deeper levels of the site. But it's less of a Raymond Chandler who-dun-it and more of a paranormal Slaughterhouse Five where-am-I? The designers at hi-res know their Web conventions, and they know how to tweak them. An entirely separate URL is set up to resemble a legitimate newspaper site. Links lead from the Donnie Darko site to fake newspaper articles on this fake newspaper site. The articles are actually part of the donniedarko.com narrative, but because they reside on a legitimate-looking newspaper site with its own separate URL, you wonder.... That is, until you click on one of the links at the fake newspaper site and your browser window melts into a possessed, Flash-generated 404 error message complete with evil bunny ASCII art. Yikes.
The Donnie Darko clues are not too difficult to discover - just a vehicle to draw you in and get you participating. You're likely to make it to the last level, if you care to. The narrative is not exactly linear, but it does build in suspense and intensity. I love this indirect way of spelling out a plot by inference. The signposts of the actual site are in flux. hi-res sabotages our conventional expectations of the Web, giving us just enough normal look and behavior to make us think we're at a "regular" site, and then janking us. These touchstones of orthodoxy right before the meltdown make donniedarko.com a lot more disorienting than your average "freak-out-from-the-get-go" experimental art site. If you're going to have a punch line, don't neglect the setup.
