Jeered at Cannes and blanked at the box office, director Richard Kelly's sprawling 2006 sci-fi epic now plays like an almost clairvoyant vision of the 21st century, predicting everything from the Cybertruck to the Strait of Hormuz blockade to the Rock being taken seriously as an actor. 20 years later, Kelly talks about how history caught up with his cult classic—and the “gigantic” new project he's excited to unleash this year. gq.com/story/richard-kelly-s…

DONNIE DARKO is getting a 4K UHD Mediabook release from @madebymutant.
Both the theatrical and director's cuts have been restored in 4K from the original camera negatives, supervised by director @JRichardKelly.
Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" will be released in theaters nationwide for the first time on December 5. Select presentations will be in 70mm and 35mm, while the film will include a never-before-seen 7-minute animated sequence.
Tarantino says: “I wrote and directed it as one movie—and I’m so glad to give the fans the chance to see it as one movie. The best way to see 'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair' is at a movie theater in Glorious 70mm or 35mm. Blood and guts on a big screen in all its glory!"
