Film School Rejects: Vin Diesel Fuels Fire for Riddick Sequels

  • Don B · 1 year ago
    I loved Pitch Black and Riddick and would like to see more films.Although,considering how poorly the last one did, I think this is just wishful thinking on his part.I hope I'm wrong.

    im all up for more riddick!! vin diesel does badass like nobody's business. just get the script right. no more alien hocus pocus. how about going to riddick's homeland or riddick settling down with some family until some bad guys do away with them leaving him wanting revenge a la The Punisher...plus, since the riddick world is a whole lot bigger, we can have some interplanetry chases...

    I wonder how people can say the movie didn't do well when everyone I know of not only saw the movie but liked it. Hell I loved it and would pay to see two more in that universe.

    Riddick has moved beyond the escaped prisoner, he can't just become an ex con on the run again. He now has the power and ability to do what he was unable to do by himself. How he chooses to do it is what will be the true challenge. Does he use the iron fist and force his will upon the others or will he use the forces in his control to retake his home world and release those forced into service in his army? Lots of pit falls and chances for coupe attempts.

    Chronicles was a flop by any standard. The reviews were mixed, and it was at least $30 million short of breaking even. That's a lot of money to lose. I guess part of that was releasing two weeks before Spider Man 2, but even its opening weekend wasn't really that strong.

    I'm sort of surprised that Universal would be interested in continuing after such a loss on investment. Did they recoup cost in the DVD world?

    I loved Cronicles more than Pitch Black,,, hell yeah I want 2 more films !!!!!
    This is great news.

    Thats great news I really like the Riddick character. I`ve been waiting for more movies of the diesel-Twohy team for years.

    I saw Chronicles more than 4 times in the theatre (we have a 1.50 in town). Loved it each time I saw it. I'm surprised that they are doing another one (don't get me wrong, I'm down) due to the poor reviews. It seemed to me like a lot of people didn't get it.

    Some people I spoke with who didn't like it said that it wasn't what they were expecting. My response was "what, did you expect Riddick to land on another planet filled with critters that only come out at night?" They immediately changed there tune, rewatched it and said that they've turned around and enjoy it.

    I just love it because of how much of a universe it opened up. There are some definite possibilities for Riddick in the future. *Here's to wondering if he'll find a way to bring Kiera back... assuming she went to the Underverse*

    I think that could be a cool idea to go to the Underverse but the point is what would happen if he could mean even if he reached the Underverse who would stop him i mean there's no religion say there are keeper's of the underverse cause all that's said is that if you die then you go and that living people can enter. If people can enter the Underverse with out dieing then why would you need death? Yeah the movie was good but what will happen to the nerco's will they reach the underverse with riddick as the leader it's anoying to me leaveing so many unanswered question's

    Idc to be honest because anything with Vin Diesel in it I most likely won't see.

    Advice: Skip the Riddick movies, play the game. The game, titled The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, has garnered the accolades the movies could only dream of. It serves as the prequel to the films and was developed by Starbreeze Studios and Tigon Games (a game production house owned by Vin Diesel himself).

    JD, played the game and beat it.
    The game was awesome !!!!!!!
  • Aleric · 1 year ago
    The game is too annoying with the console to PC conversion having save points.
  • nautilart · 1 year ago
    they wrote them selves into a corner and failed to achieve what pitch black did. an explosion of cgi ruined the unique style and since when is every scene enhanced by being crooked, in chronicles i felt like i was watching it sideways. Also hello a bad ass what an accountant in some crazy armor a miss casting that ruined the whole film alone. Also watching the story line become confused sucked, dark furys ending with toombs didn't match up with chronicles toombs begginning and again a miss casting the furian servant of the dark lord being furian was crap no skinny weak peace of crap character of measly actor can compare to hype and image of the Furyan set forth by ridicks image and twohys glorifications throughout the stories

    Man, I love Vin Diesel~He needs to do only Badass, kick butt action movies. He's got the
    charisma and the abilities to pull it off. I loved Pitch Black! Chronicles was okay (except for
    that bullsh#$ fast camera work). He was also super cool in the "Furious" movie. Keep it up,
    Vin. I've got your back!
  • Bill · 1 year ago
    Yah...I would watch more Riddick. The UNDERVERSE is a place that needs a great deal of butt-kicking. That said, I think we could do without Dame Judith Dench, as much as I love her as M in the Bond movies, floating around.

    Come to think of it, Diesel should reprise the Sean Vetter character in A MAN APART. He does good vengence. Really good vengence.

    Fucking love Riddick.
  • Caleb Filbin · 3 months ago
    Hell yes, Diesel has it in him to make good on what he says, since the last movie ended with him in control, there is no telling how many people will go to see just how Riddick handles his new army. I would see this several times, just because I know Diesel will do a great job, and deliver what he promises to deliver upon. I am anxious to see the rest of the Riddick Chronicles.
