Original Title: TIL the original Holes screenplay by Donnie Darko writer Richard Kelly was a dystopian, R-rated thriller set in a post-nuclear world. It had no Kissin’ Kate or yellow-spotted lizards, and The Warden was a male totalitarian figure. Disney rejected it for being too dark and political.
