Fathom Entertainment is staging a 25th anniversary theatrical rerelease of Richard Kelly’s sci-fi cult film “Donnie Darko.” The rerelease runs in theaters beginning October 2 and features 4K presentations, with audiences returning to the story of Donnie, a troubled teenager who experiences unsettling visions and becomes entangled in a sequence of crimes.
Across outlets, the rerelease is tied to a promotional push that includes a newly released trailer and screenings this fall. Both sources also reference the film’s origin and legacy: it premiered in 2001 and has remained widely known over the following decades. One outlet emphasizes the film’s central premise and casting, listing Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role alongside Jena Malone, Drew Barrymore, and others. Another outlet highlights additional programming connected to the anniversary, including an exclusive introduction with Kelly and references to a separate new publication by Kelly connected to the “Donnie Darko” universe.
