Vin Diesel Hints that Chronicles of Riddick Sequel is Gearing Up
Apparently when Vin Diesel talks, he likes to say “Haha”. I mean, I’ve never actually seen someone type “Haha” as often as Vin Diesel does, but I suppose the man does it in real life, so it naturally translate to his typing. Or at least, that’s what I surmised from these entries at his Facebook account, where Vin Diesel has not only been hinting at a “Chronicles of Riddick” sequel on the near horizon, but seems to actually be saying it’s going to happen, and soon.
Vin Diesel Updates His Facebook Page With Riddick News
Science Fiction movies that you can remember for more then a couple of years are rare. A movie will attract your attention as it is hyped, entertain you moderately at the theatre and then pass into the general cloud of Sci-Fi history. Maybe you pick up the DVD in 8 months or if it was a bomb, a couple. For me, “Pitch Black”, starring Vin Diesel, was different.
Pitch Black’s David Twohy On The Continuing Chronicles Of Riddick
“Pitch Black”, starring Vin Diesel, was a great Sci-Fi creature feature. Looking back on it, it really had everything going for it. A great group of creatures with a believable ecology, interesting characters that provided suspenseful elements all by themselves and great action with delicious scary bits. Drawing all the elements together was Vin Diesel as Riddick, an interstellar badass from a really bad neighborhood.
Good News and Bad News Re: Chronicles of Riddick Sequels
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, and you won’t convince me otherwise: as much as I liked how ambitious Diesel and Twohy got with “The Chronicles of Riddick”, the whole Necromonger and Underverse plot was way too unwieldy, and really bogged the movie down in unnecessary subplots and exposition. So here’s the good news and bad news: Diesel says there will be two more Riddick sequels, but both will follow the plot of “Chronicles”, i.e. more Underverse mumbo jumbo.
More Details On The Next Riddick Movie: No School Like The Old School
Vin Diesel will apparently return to the darkness that he loves so much in the next “Riddick” movie.
Io9 has a brief plot teaser that shows Riddick returning to the close in, claustrophobic action that made Pitch Black a great Sci-Fi film. The new Riddick, like the original, likes the dark for the work he’s best at.
Vin Diesel On The Continuing Riddick Franchise
Mr. Diesel is pretty wise to keep pushing his Riddick and Pitch Black franchises. He had something very special in the first movie of the series. I will eagerly return to another effort if Vin and Company go back to the roots of that original story.
Vin Diesel Drops Some More Riddick Info
Along with the Nix unit, our fearless leader, I am also a huge fan of Pitch Black, starring our reflective eyed hero Mr. Riddick. One of the best Sci-Fi actioners ever in my humble opinion. Vin is seeing something of a resurgence lately and that is good news for those of us who love the Sci-FI monster stuff.
Vin Diesel: Another Chronicles of Riddick Movie is “Underway”
Vin Diesel’s second Riddick game, “Assault on Dark Athena” gets released April 7, which means the man himself is doing the publicity rounds to sell it. It also means we’ll be hearing more about a possible “Chronicles of Riddick” movie, being that the game is so heavily tied into the movie franchise. According to Diesel himself, the third film in the series is very much “underway”, and one gets the feeling he’s prepared to make an official announcement sometime very soon.
More Chronicles of Riddick on the Way?
“Pitch Black” was brilliant, but “The Chronicles of Riddick” was too big and unwieldy and too ambitious. But as a straight sci-fi action film, it was still pretty good. So what about those two “Chronicles of Riddick” sequels we’ve been hearing about? You know, the final two parts of that trilogy star Vin Diesel and writer/director David Twohy have been dying to make?
Vin Diesel Talks Chronicles of Riddick 2 and 3
Looking back at Vin Diesel and David Twohy’s 2004 sci-fi epic “The Chronicles of Riddick”, I think most people don’t realize how complex and ambitious the movie was. And maybe that was the problem. It was just so massive, and on such a huge compass, with so many things it wanted to tell, that it sort of had audiences running for the hills instead of trying to digest it all. But I loved it, even though I thought its one big failure was just that — it was just too darn complex and expansive for an average movie crowd. So what about a sequel? Well it’s been 4 years, and we haven’t gotten one yet.
