Richard Kelly (director)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Kelly (born March 28, 1975 in Newport News, Virginia) is an American film director and writer, best known for 2001's Donnie Darko. Kelly grew up in Midlothian, Virginia where he attended Midlothian High School before getting a scholarship and moved to Southern California to study at the USC School of Cinema-Television, where he made two short films, The Goodbye Place and Visceral Matter, before graduating in 1997.
He has in the past written scripts for film adaptations of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle and Louis Sachar's Holes but neither were produced. The latter screenplay is available as a PDF on an unofficial Richard Kelly fansite and Kelly hopes that he will one day secure the rights to the former script, so that fans may read that one as well.
His fourth film, Southland Tales, has not yet set a release date, and stars Dwayne Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Seann William Scott, Kevin Smith and Miranda Richardson.
