Vin Diesel Confirmed for Riddick 3

Vin Diesel is to don the goggles again, for a third installment of the The Chronicles of Riddick [http://www.amazon.com/Riddick-Trilogy-Pitch-Black-Chronicles/dp/B000EQHXN2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1279572124&sr=8-1-catcorr].

Fans of the gravel-voiced sociopath that is Robert B Riddick rejoice, as it has been confirmed that Vin Diesel will reprise the roll in another silver screen installment of the Chronicles of Riddick. David Twohy, who wrote and directed both of the previous Riddick movies, will again be at the helm, both writing and directing the new movie.

According to sources, the third film will be much closer to Pitch Black than Chronicles of Riddick, and will focus more on the man, rather than the world he inhabits.

With two decent games, one movie that rates as one of the finest sci-fi movies of the last ten years, and another which, well, ok, let's not talk about that one, it's pretty safe to say that Riddick is the best character that Vin Diesel has ever played, and his subsequent movies have never really fit him as well. Will this be the movie that re-ignites Diesel's career, or will it be another Babylon AD [http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/babylonad]?

I'm certainly hoping for the former.

If what they have said is true, it could be good, but I doubt it, a lot.

Vin Diesel is what makes Riddick a good character, but what made Pitch Black a good movie wasn't just Riddick. It was the entire composition of the movie, from the rest of the cast and their characters to the fresh take on the most basic sci-fi and horror clichés.

wait... wasn't it RICHARD B. Riddick? i don't remember, though. but yeah, Pitch Black pwnt major face

 

[persona J]

yes it was, i was gonna rage at them too for getting that wrong.

 

[SamuelT]

I've always enjoyed the Riddick films. Even the 'unspoken ones.' It's nice to have another one coming along.

One thing though. At the end of the last one, Riddick had become king of the Necrons. (Or something. The pain guys.) Wouldn't that be a bit of a problem when returning to the roots of the franchise?

 

[persona J]

i still dont get why people dont like the chronicals of riddick. i mean feckin ulakks man ULAKKS!!.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Cool.

Pitch Black was good, the two videogames were great, and hell, I even enjoyed the Chronicles.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Pitch Black was good..Riddick not so much and Another Riddick ehh i dunno i'm gonna have to wait and see on this one.

 

[Negative]

For all he says it's going to be close to Pitch Black, we won't know until it's out.
I'm going to stay pessimistic on this until I hear the reveiws, but I'm expecting another two-hours of Vin Desiel's one-liners and thin plot.

 

[gim73]

Yeah, I agree. Let's not talk about Pitch black, because Chronicles of Riddick was one of the best sci-fi movies in the last ten years. I'm looking forward to another story set in the world of Riddick. Hopefully, it won't be another bug hunt.

 

[Summerstorm]

Maybe i am weird, but i liked "Chronicles of Riddick" more than "Pitch Black". But no matter... YAY, the movies both had some... hard to describe - style which made them cool. Let's see how this will turn out then.

"I am going to kill you with my TEA-cup"

 

[ThePreshFrince]

No shit he'll be back. Saying Vin Diesel'll be back for a new Chronicles of Riddick is like saying a new Domino's pizza will feature some form of cheese on it.

 

[scnj]

wait... wasn't it RICHARD B. Riddick? i don't remember, though. but yeah, Pitch Black pwnt major face

Yes. Yes it was. I also came in here to nerd rage about that cock up.

Looking forward to the new film though. Pitch Black was fantastic, and Chronicles was a nice bit of universe building.

 

[Agayek]

wait... wasn't it RICHARD B. Riddick? i don't remember, though. but yeah, Pitch Black pwnt major face

Yes. His first name is definitely Richard.

 

[RJ Dalton]

I'm going to paraphrase Yahtzee: "If you still honestly care about Riddick as a character, hello Vin Diesel, for you are the only one."

i still dont get why people dont like the chronicals of riddick. i mean feckin ulakks man ULAKKS!!.

It was a terrible movie. Which is unfortunate, because I actually liked it. There was just very little about it that wasn't horribly cliche or predictable or not done very well.
