	Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly, suspected terrorist?
		Kelly is supossed to debut his second feature film, Southland Tales at the Cannes Film Festival in France in late May. As it turns out, Kelly's passport has been "under review" for several days in Washington DC because there's a "James Kelly" on the terrorist watch list.
		Kelly says that the situation is "getting out of control." He has contacted a Senator for aid, and has his mom digging through documents to prove his citizenship.
		All this means that Kelly, whose film Southland Tales premieres at Cannes, which opens May 17 -- and is in competition for the top prize at the fest -- may not be able to be there to enjoy his moment in the spotlight.

	At the Movies: Richard Kelly: 'Donnie Darko Director's Cut'
		RICHARD: You know, the film is a period piece that takes place in 1988, yet it's ultimately a science-fiction film and I think there are a lot of themes running throughout the film that speak to young people.
		In the case of a first-time director no-one knows who's throwing the party but there's a great swimming pool and the script is like the swimming pool and everyone's circling around it deciding who's gonna be the first to jump in.
		RICHARD: Well, Jake didn't tell me this until we were done shooting, but he told me he was kind of mimicking me a little bit on the set, which freaks me out a little bit.

	Richard Kelly: Director Richard Kelly
		Richard Kelly (born March 28, 1975 in Newport News, Virginia) is an American film director and writer, best known for 2001's Donnie Darko.
		Kelly stood his ground, defended his creative decisions, and against the odds kept his hold on the reins of his own work.
		Kelly describes it as the "Extended Remix Version," intended not to replace the original but to complement it (indeed, the two versions can be looked upon as a physical metaphor for the two alternate worlds the hero is straddling).

	ChicagoFilm.com - Features - Kelly
		While the 29 year old Kelly might not be receiving the credit he's due from financiers and Hollywood, he's certainly getting that credit from his colleagues at New Market.
		While Kelly admits he's proud of the film's cultish fan base, he's also wary of what that means.
		Fans of the original material might not appreciate the subtle variations, particularly where the changes in the soundtrack are concerned, but ultimately should be pleased with the chance to revisit the film on the big screen closer in form to how it was initially screened at Sundance.

		A DVD version of the Director's Cut was released in October, 2004 in the U.K., with a U.S. release scheduled for January, 2005.

	Richard Kelly
		Kelly's attempts to weave together too many convergent storylines (a Neo-Marxist flmail conspiracy, the discovery of a limitless fuel source, Boxer Santaros' noir-ish adventure, Ronald's quest to find his brother) give him tenuous cause to add a cacophony of supporting characters to the mix (yes, in addition to the central figures already mentioned).
		Richard ("Donnie Darko") Kelly's next film is the wonderfully bizarre-sounding "Southland Tales," and, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the filmmaker's just enlisted Cheri Oteri, Amy Poehler, and Jill Ritchie to join his (rather fantastic) ensemble cast.
		Kelly and his crew are gearing up to start production on August 1st, and the young filmmaker seems pretty excited about his new project: "The film is going to be a strange hybrid of the sensibilities of Andy Warhol and Philip K. Dick." more...

		Richard Kelly: the director of the high-school head-trip 'Donnie Darko' - Discovery - Column - Interview
		A mixture of adolescent angst, sci-fi fantasy, sexual repression, and mental illness, the film wants to be the last word, striving to be the totalizing, all-questions-answered masterstroke teenagers awkwardly yearn for, and, like all teenagers, it also wants to remain teasingly enigmatic and undefined.
		As he tries to reconcile the esoteric with the accessible, Kelly's career arc could easily break either way; regardless, his debut leaves little doubt that the process will be well worth watching.

		Ultimately, it's called the "Director's Cut" so it's going to be delving into more of my interpretation of the film.

	The Trades - Interview: Richard Kelly: After Darko
		For his second film, Kelly had the luxury of working with a bigger budget than he did on “Donnie Darko,” and he used the increased financial resources to give an epic feel to the movie.
		Kelly has spent several years working on “Southland Tales,” because he wants audiences to accept it as a suitable follow-up to “Donnie Darko.” “Getting the second film right or even getting it made is almost harder than the first one,” Kelly says.
		Kelly broke into the business when his producing partner passed Kelly’s script for “Donnie Darko” onto assistants at a few of the major talent agencies.

		While it may sound obtuse and thick on paper, Richard Kelly throws in some excellent dialogue with a more nervously lighthearted relief to the overall X-Files meets Shyamalan main plot.
		Kelly is allowed to flesh out more of the sub plots and to take his time telling the rest of the story (like Paul Harvey).
		Richard Kelly himself describes Donnie Darko as "indeed a science-fiction film (as well as an 80's period piece)", and I have no issue with that description.

		The director's cut, due to VHS and DVD profit margins, is an excellent forum for original design.

		Writer-director Richard Kelly, a 26-year-old first-timer, etches this landscape with the morbid precision and rueful humor of a battle-scarred veteran.
		The film's brooding eponymous protagonist (whom Kelly has described as Holden Caulfield as resurrected by Philip K. Dick) was given a superhero-worthy moniker because "I wanted to communicate the idea that this is a fantasy, a fable, right up front.
		Kelly says the major influence on Donnie Darko was a similarly despairing time-travel odyssey, 12 Monkeys, Terry Gilliam's stricken extrapolation of Chris Marker's cine-poem La Jetée.

		And obviously this theory holds true with Richard Kelly's "Donnie Darko", an absolutely brilliant little movie that grossed about half a million upon its initial theatrical release, and a film that's about to re-released as a lengthier Director's Cut.
		Richard Kelly was sitting in an airport, waiting for his flight to the Seattle Film Festival.
		Kelly and the folks over at Newmarket, because together they've acknowledged the rather passionate 'underground' following that the film has, and they've come up with a "re-release" plan that actually serves the film.

		That’s so important, as a writer to hold on to the core of the story, but as a director to be open to what’s the best idea around.
		CA: The Robin Williams character is a cutter who uses the information from the Zoe chip to make movies for the persons funeral that remake their lives in a better light for everyone to remember them by.
		One of the most fascinating aspects of The Final Cut is that it is a personal dialogue between the director and himself about the captured image, both in his film and in his life.

		You said in the DVD director commentary that it wasn’t supposed to be especially political, but it seems you hit on the idea of this collective anxiety that happens every election year, and that seems like a really great time to set this film.
		In the director’s cut, the original source material, I put together this elaborate science fiction logic.

		RICHARD: There was a lot of deleted material that I had always hoped to put into the narrative.
		To see it, a lot of the scenes that were in the Sundance cut are restored in the director's cut and some additional ones as well.
