Donnie Darko: Hollywoodreporter.com: '' 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.'"
