Ed Harcourt will provide the score for the forthcoming Donnie Darko sequel, S. Darko. The British singer-songwriter told EW.com at LA’s Roxy last week, where he opened up for the Greg Dulli-Mark Lanegan fronted nü-gaze outfit, The Gutter Twins, that while he never met director Chris Fisher, he submitted three pieces of music for consideration after reading the script, and was delighted — if not a little surprised — to learn that he got the gig. The movie is slated for release in 2009, but Harcourt is already hard at work on a variety of soundscapes influenced by the music of Autechre, Aphex Twin, Phillip Glass, and Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. His goal: to make it “surreal and psychedelic, just like the movie.”

The Donnie Darko sequel without the original team is the WORST idea ever. So unnecessary!!
What?! This is incredible news coz I’m a HUGE Ed Harcourt fan (Where has he been the last couple of years anyway?). Very uncanny development, esp since he’s a pretty unknown Brit singer.
But, yes, I’m also a bit unnerved that there’s even going to be a Donnie Darko sequel….
Talk about a movie that DID NOT need a sequel, what a waste of time.
