"Once you get on the Bang Bus you can't get off."
That's a quote from Southland Tales, the new near-future sci-fi flick from Richard Kelly, the writer/director of Donnie Darko. The context: On one of thousands of TV channels porn stars discuss the hot-button issues of the day on a beach, sipping champagne. Twitchfilm has posted links to a couple clips from the movie.
I'll be honest, the movie bears some of the earmarks that fouled Domino (a script by Kelly). I'm still interested. Kelly is really stretching here. He's written three graphic novels as prequels to the movie. He's really going for a sprawling, quirky, pre-cyberpunk vibe that I can totally get down with.
Official site.
Youtube clips: 1, 2, 3
BTW: Just in case you're wondering the movie has been delayed from the "2006" on the bottom of the poster. Not always a good sign. But then Idiocracy was delayed just as long. Don't quote me on that comparison.

That looks pretty cool. The only thing that worries me is that there's a really fine line between "going for a sprawling, quirky, pre-cyberpunk vibe" and reaching for one. The former is awesome. The latter is horrid.
I didn't see /Domino/, but the trailer taught me that "Mamma told me not to come" at full Dolby movie theater volume is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.
