Back in the late 90s, early 00s, Gyllenhaal was just getting started and after his stand out performance in the 1999 Joe Johnston movie October Sky, Gyllenhaal took a darker turn in his career. And it made Donnie Darko one of Gyllenhaal's most iconic films and a role that made him famous. Written and directed by Richard Kelly, the sci-fi/thriller tells the story of a young boy named Donnie Darko.
When he narrowly escapes death, Donnie is haunted by a tall figure dressed as a rabbit named Frank who gets Donnie to do progressively more messed up things under the guise that the world is going to end in 28 days. Including Gyllenhaal's own sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, as Elizabeth Darko, the film included an all star cast of Drew Barrymore, Seth Rogen, Jena Malone, Noah Wyle, and more. What has made Donnie Darko one of the best sci-fi films of all time comes down to Gyllenhaal's performance as Donnie and the looming presence of Frank.
When anyone thinks of Donnie Darko, the image of Frank and Donnie and Gretchen (Malone) is the first that fans think of and it is one of the best films of Gyllenhaal's career. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have had a friendship that spans decades, all because of the 1989 film Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Preston Esquire (Winter) and Theodore Logan (Reeves) are two high school surfer dudes who learn the hard way that not doing their school work may keep them apart from each other.
