Riddick (September 6th, 2013)

Plus, Pitch Black was a way better movie anyway. I'd rather have another movie like that than something trying to follow up on Chronicles.

[BaneTheBrawler]

There's no reason they couldn't do both. I'd love to get a job where all I do is help storytellers keep track of their continuity and make things fit. Almost anything can be worked into any given universe if you try hard enough, and the Riddick stories are no exception. It bothers me when they just straight up go with "well that didnt make enough money so it never happened." No! You made your mistakes, live with them, but build on them and make it into something better.

that being said, this looks pretty good and I want to see it.

Um, not sure where people are getting the idea that the events of the previous movie didn't happen. Pretty sure he gets betrayed and kicked out of the kingdom he took over in the last movie.

Plot from wiki:

Betrayed by the Necromongers and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before.

I do find it amusing that Riddick keeps finding himself on "desolated" planets. Instead of Chronicles, they should have gone with "The Desolation of Riddick"

[Kaslo]

It doesn't really matter, they could put him on a planet of sparkly vampires and I would watch that shit.

[Rhyis.]

I really liked the necromongers. Made the whole movie. I hope there's something equally cool in this one.

[Sunrider]

I'd especially watch Riddick on a planet of sparkly vampires, since this would mean the impending violent deaths of lots of sparkly vampires.

It pretty much broke even iirc

Mm, I see why they backtracked on concepts, then.

A shame, since I kind of liked the expanded universe that Chronicles of Riddick offered.

who wouldn't watch Riddick slash up some sparkly vampires....

People would pay top dollar to see Vin Diesel obliterate Planet Twilight. He'd look like he'd been bukkaked by fairies afterwards, but still, satisfaction.

[mallister]

lol, left riddick for dead. more like 'we wanted to be assfucked to death in the most spectacular fashion at a later date, but were tired of his jackassery at the moment so we stored him someplace safe.'

[Kainos]

Can't wait. Riddik movies are great sci fi. Only thing I don't like is the trailers make it seem like a rehash of part 1 (stuck on a planet with nocturnal baddies) hope they add something fresh

Plans for more Riddick are already in the works, as Diesel confirmed to THR that Twohy is currently writing the next installment.

Awesome.


I wish there was novels in the Riddick universe

Not what you'd think from the previews, had waaaay more story then I expected. Plenty of Vin Diesel being badass though, entertaining movie.

Good to hear this. Don't need Vin living on the street, since he put his own money to finance part of the movie. Extra money paid for the stuff to go from pg-14 to R.

[BaneTheBrawler]

vin living on the street would be the best thing to ever happen to the street

So he paid Katie Sackhoff to take her shirt off?

Hmmm. Money well spent.

Saw it tonight, by the way. Enjoyed it. Pitch Black was a little better, but if you liked it, it's more of the same. If you didn't like it, I wouldn't bother. I don't remember the second one at all (although I know I saw it), so I can't really compare those two.

[Odesseiron]

Diesel is the fucking man. He loves this character so much, you can tell in the movie. Would definitely recommend. Less more Pitch Black, less Chronicles. Go see if you enjoyed either of them.
