Yeah, Colm Feore killed her. But the original pitch for the next sequel had Riddick going into the Underverse to get her back.

And, yeah, Alexa Davalos is gorgeous.

Re: New Riddick movie in the works

I like them both, Chronicles is a great background movie for me. I love the look of it.

I enjoyed it. It was certainly a far more effective follow up to PB than Chronicles was.

Re: New Riddick movie in the works

The animated film was great

I've enjoyed all the movies, although Chronicles definitely had some issues. Looking forward to another one.

Re: New Riddick movie in the works

I'm going against the grain here to say that, while I liked Pitch Black (even if parts of it feel dated now), I really enjoyed Chronicles. I liked the massive universe Twohy was trying to build, the epic scale to all of it. But I'm ok with a sequel not trying to bite so much off. I'll see this.

Now that is very interesting. She was a very cool character.

This is how I felt, although I did like Chronicles. The first movie is obviously superior, so I welcome a return.

New Riddick Artwork and R Rating Confirmed



Straight from Vin Diesel's facebook page:

I hear you...

While I was working on character, the Director and his team of artists have been creating the world and style of this picture. We all know how much I enjoy concept art and storyboards, haha, I am like a kid in a candy shop.

Seeing the early stage of CGI is always fascinating to me, it is a element that usually comes together long after the filming process, so you look forward to seeing it fully realized.

First stop for the Riddick production is Canada, which is where we shot a large part of Chronicles...

P.s. I am grateful to have Universal in such support of this complex character's journey... not many studios would back an "R" rating. Very cool.

Re: New Riddick movie in the works

Didn't know Universal was involved, thought Vin had to go to another studio.

They will have a sexy female merc. Whew, I was worried this wouldn't have a hottie.

I was also interested in the story where Riddick goes to the underverse to get that hottie Kyra back. Too bad. So far, this sounds like Predator / PB with a bit of Chronicles. I'll keep following the news on this. Can't believe it's been over seven years since Chronicles.

Riddick Begins Shooting Soon, New Artwork!
Source: Vin Diesel , ShockTillYouDrop.com
October 17, 2011


Riddick, the third film in David Twohy's series about the titular anti-hero, is moving fast through pre-production. An R rating has been secured. Vin Diesel is coming back. Casting is underway and good times will be had by all.

Diesel has been keeping his fanbase in the loop about the film and he shared some new artwork which reveals on of the Necro-armo designs for Riddick

Diesel writes: "One of many Necro-armor designs... Haha, I had to share. It takes hundreds of artists to make a movie... I am excited about the work Our "Riddick" crew of artists, are doing right now in Canada. Their contributions is what will make this film. P.s. Riddick starts principal photography in weeks... much to do, much to do... especially since it's "R"... GRRR..."

You can view the artwork below the synopsis:

Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick (Diesel) fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge. With his enemies right where he wants them, Riddick unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction.

Re: New Riddick movie in the works

Meh, looks like they're going more in the direction of Chronicles. I like Sci-Fi as much as the next guy but that whole universe was corny.

Katee Sackhoff Joins Riddick



Riddick, the third film in David Twohy's series about the titular anti-hero, has found its female lead. Deadline reports that Katee Sackhoff has signed on for the part of Dahl, a Nordic mercenary on Riddick's tail.

The plot finds Riddick (Diesel) betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet where he fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge. With his enemies right where he wants them, Riddick unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction.

Sackhoff is best known for her role on "Battlestar Galactica" and is also set to star in the upcoming Sexy Evil Genius.

Re: New Riddick movie in the works

So much for having a hottie in this. Ah, well, I suppose she will be fine.

Saw this and thought it was funny:
Judi Dench: Drink before watching Riddick

added: 23 Dec 2011

(Cover) - EN Movies - Dame Judi Dench advisers viewers to “have a few drinks” before they watch her past movie The Chronicles of Riddick.

The actress played Aereon in the sci-fi-action-thriller alongside Vin Diesel, Thandie Newton and Karl Urban.

Judi admitted that she hasn’t actually seen it, but she is sure it isn’t her best work.

“It was very good fun, but I’ve never seen it,” she told British magazine Total Film. “Drop me a line if you see it. You might have a huge laugh, but I’d have a few drinks beforehand!”

When asked why she accepted the role she confessed it was all down to the charm of her co-star, Vin.

The Fast & Furious star was eager to get Judi involved with the movie.

“Why did I say yes? Well, Vin Diesel came to see me in a play, Breath of Life,” the actress explained. “He brought some flowers that were as long as a wardrobe. How could I say no?”

I liked "Pitch Black" but I saw "Chronicles..." on tv a few days ago and thought it was a complete turd.
