Thanks to ComingSoon.net for sharing with us an enticing new press release from the folks at Cherry Road Films. "Donnie Darko" fans can rejoice because writer/director Richard Kelly is ready to get rolling with his "Southland Tales."

Described as "an ensemble piece set in the futuristic landscape of Los Angeles on July 4, 2008, as it stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster," the film will star Seann William Scott, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Kelly and his crew are gearing up to start production on August 1st, and the young filmmaker seems pretty excited about his new project: "The film is going to be a strange hybrid of the sensibilities of Andy Warhol and Philip K. Dick."
