Yep, this'll probably be an epic fail. Like Butterfly Effect 2

Yeah, because Butterfly Effect 1 was such a masterpiece.

I actually liked The Butterfly effect. Underrated movie, In my opinion. But not sure about this Donnie Darko sequal, Im a big fan of the original.

Completely agree with you. I enjoyed it as well. I think the main reason it was kind of looked at poorly was because Ashton Kutcher was starring in a serious role.

Oh my god the guy from Dragonball! This is going to be amazing!

(Also, $10 million budget? I wouldn't be expecting much from this to begin with, but that budget is pretty damn lame.)

In the commentary track on the DVD, they say that the budget was $4 million (though IMDB says $4.5)...
They also talk about how "people worked for nothing" and "nobody made a dime", but folks went through with it "because of the material"...

Drew Barrymore also put up some of her own money to help fund the film... And really, her and Patrick Swayze were the only two "big names" as far as films are concerned... There were a couple more fairly big TV personalities, but Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal weren't exactly big names at the time...

Well, at the time, they weren't quite big names. Jake Gyllenhall (however his last name is spelled) was just barely beginning to get known so he didn't require much cash at the time. It wasn't until basically Day after Tomorrow that he really took off (Bubble Boy doesn't count even though that was out before DT)

I didn't say it was a masterpiece. It was a good cult type of flick like Donnie Darko was. BE2 was just an attempt to see if they could cash in on the cult status and it failed because it had nothing to do with the original except "family member" tie in I believe.
