“Donnie Darko” (ドニー・ダーコ), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 2001, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) P84

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 2001 for the first Japanese release of Donnie Darko (ドニー・ダーコ), Richard Kelly’s cult sci-fi psychological thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal, with Jena Malone, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, and Maggie Gyllenhaal. A defining early-2000s cult title, the film blends suburban dread, time-loop mystery, and teenage alienation into one of the era’s most debated—and most rewatched—midnight movies.

Design
A striking, atmospheric Japan-market one-sheet: a serene suburban sky and quiet neighbourhood street are overtaken by a spectral, cloud-formed rabbit-skull silhouette—within it, ghostly character faces and key imagery emerge like a prophecy. The orange Japanese copy at centre references the film’s iconic countdown (“…あと28日6時間42分12秒”), while the large title 「ドニー・ダーコ」 anchors the bottom in clean white typography. Haunting, minimalist, and intensely displayable—one of the strongest international campaign designs for the film.
