A fairly interesting and candid interview with Kelly is the meatiest part of this book for me, though the shooting script comprises the bulk. Cool to see the photos of the art exhibition that was referenced in interviews and commentaries alike.
The book contains an introduction by Jake Gyllenhaal (nicely and honestly written), an interview with Richard Kelly (awesomely long and very informative and interesting!!!), the script (of course, as good as I remembered it from the movie - though it gave me some more input and understanding than I previously had), pages from "The Philosophy of Time Travel", and images and sketches from the film.
It is a real treat for fans of the movie itself, Richard Kelly and movie-making in general!

Donnie Darko was the blueprint
Fuck I love this movie!! if the anomaly that caused the tangent universe is not rectified then in 28 days the tangent universe will destroy itself and the primary universe, because it can't sustain itself or exist, so if Donnie didn't sacrifice himself all of his family and people he knew and humanity would have died. By Meeting Grechen she gives him hope for the future, not necessarily his but he sees life differently and that there can be things to look forward to and beauty amongst pain, he especially wants that kind of future for Grechen and so he can soundly die in order for the world to survive and for everyone else to return to the primary universe,,, even if he won't go with them or even remember him.
I'm shattered.

Not an adaptation but rather an extension - it features interviews, explanations of the "mythology" of the film and even the screenplay! It was my first time reading a film script, which I had no idea how was written - love at first sight (then I found out that a lot of the things Richard Kelly wrote in his screenplay would not be accepted by an amateur like myself)!
It will not answer all the questions raised by the film - which is excellent - but it will broaden the knowledge of this classic.

Livro essencial para os amantes de cinema, principalmente para os fãs de Donnie Darko (um dos maiores filmes de todos os tempos). Contém entrevista fenomenal com Richard Kelly (autor do livro e diretor), e o roteiro original da Obra. Fantástico.
Buy it, it will make you think about the intricacies of Donnie Darko even more then the film. The shooting script was some way so much funnier then the film too.
